November 19th, 2016. “Pound for Pound” was one of the best fights in 2016 featuring 2 undefeated fighters; Andre “S.O.G” Ward and Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev in a highly anticipated showdown for the Unified Light Heavyweight Championship.#AndreWardvsSergeyKovalev
I don't see how ward won a unanimous decision... Kovalev was attacking constantly and even scored a knock down. Kovalev was robbed right there
TRiCk_SHoW kov lost stfu
they call it MAGIC lol
TRiCk_SHoW it’s robbery. Coz kovalev is not a cash cow and Ward is American.
From all the fights i seen, i think this is the more obvious robbery, Kovalev won the 1st fight , ward couldnt hang and plus he scored a Knockdown
yeah even mayweather said i call a spade a spade but no way he won that fight
Miss these kind of fights...best vs the best
Despite the controversy surrounding this fight, it still was a great performance by both fighter's.
@johnnythepr1ck hell no he got his ass beat won maybe 5 rounds
@johnnythepr1ck Punches in the clinch but who landed the harder cleaner shots that clearly hurted the other man look at ward's face when he won he was surprised bro I bet on Andre I'm an American but bro he got his ass beat by a Russian that night
@@G-spookyk4zs but he came back and stopped him
love roy jones jr on the mic!
Who here because of Canelo vs. Kovalev Nov. 2!!
j.l. c.g. Big test for Canelo 🥺💯 I’m a huge fan this is gonna be a big risk big reward fight for him but I believe in him 💯🙏🏾
I am
RIP CANELO
@@juanvilleda8377 canelo going hit that body man
Why going up 2 weight classes, kovalev looks huge compared to canelo.
Kovalev 100% won the first fight. This highlight shows Ward's best work and missing a lot of Kovalev's.
Agreed
I mean you can debate for days who won the first fight. Thats why they did a 2nd one so you can shut up about it. I guess tha doesnt work for you either.
Didn't seem that way at the time (that Kovalev won) and watching it again (in its entirety and in this highlighted reel) it still doesn't seem like he did. He certainly fought hard and he clearly wanted to win; but it's hard to see any evidence that he actually did.
Unanimous decision??? Wtf
Scorpie Scorpie disagree the first fight kovalev was dominating and he threw it away by slowing down too much in the later rounds. Kovalev dominated his rounds but ward kept stealing rounds. Clever boxing by ward Those punches were fine as well in the second fight.
The battle between them was really great. Two excellent fights.
Ward is absolutely relentless. Both fights were filled with absolute high level exchanges, neither man should hang their head about either fight. All the feints and clean 1 2s, body work, work in the clinch. Great to see to top shelf fighters going at it at their peaks
Ward was the most implacable fighter I've ever seen. He refused to accept a defeat.
And he still shouldve lost
He did lose the first one
Relentless clinchjng
When a man is scared he really really does his best to throw punches, ward was scared
Kovalev DEFINITELY won the first fight. Ward knew it too. Just look how surprised he was when the decision was announced.
Not only did Ward win but he stopped him 🤷🏾♂️.
Ward won both loser 🤗
You're ridiculous saying that BS.
No. He did not. Very even first fight with ring g going slightly more to Ward.
Am a big ward fan but he lost the first fight On points
Мудаки, обворовали Серёгу, и радуетесь. Басурмане.
@@user-yb1tp2dm3w дурачек ты безграмотный, конкретно тут его защищают.
Victor Kaizer i don’t see how you can see that , after that knock down he woke up and gave kov a different look
Hell no
On points ? I don’t think so. The highlights clearly show Dre out point him, especially after that knockdown. But the highlights also show every time Andre ward lands 3 punches, kovalev would come back with one and it seemed to really affect Andre ward. But ward was still there in front of kovalev the entire night out working him and out pointing him on the inside showing Andre ward is a very versatile, high level fighter. Put your boxing goggles on and you’ll see he won the firsts fight.
Bradley saying only one that can beat Canelo is Ward. I think them hits got to him already. Ward Lost. C'mon Bradley 🤣
Kovalev got robbed on the first and was dominating the whole fight until ward got some punches threw, would eat wars alive just like kovalev he doesn’t waste unnecessary energy bouncing around flat footed walks toward not taking punishment and would finish’s him in the late rounds easy.
Canelo lost to GGG
jim jones canelo also won the rematch and if they where to fight now who wins?! Canelo
@@RDGMedia_ Golovkin won the second fight too. Lara also schooled Canelo.
Faxxx Benavidez stops warddd 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Super fights. That stopped was criminal
Their first fight was definitely Kovalev's win. No way Ward could have win this.
What you u gotta realise after 5 rounds kov tires and gets picked off after that he slows down massively after five rounds
Kov noticeably tired later on when ward had more success but I think it shoulda gone kovs way
No..
Out worked kovalev on the inside with beautiful body work and on occasion going head body head body. Just because kovalev is a power puncher and landed a couple shots doesn’t mean he won the fight.
Kovalov win the first half of the 1st fight ward took the other half of the fight so it could've went either way
Ima huge fan of Andre ward but he lost that first one
@#BAGLIFE MIKE yes he did
No the f*** he didn't I was at both fights Ward won both fights war turned it on in the second half of the fight and he won the damn fight he beat him both times f*** out of here
@@TownBizznizzJS fucking fan boy. Ward turned it on in the 9th. You dont win a 12 round fight winning 5 rounds and getting knocked down. Fucking loser.
Ima huge fan of Kovalev but he got School by SOG
TonyMax843 why do people lie about being fans just to criticize them. Ward is a much better boxer than Kovalev.
Kov beat Ward in their first fight, and you could exactly see how surprised Ward was to be given the win...and I'm a Ward supporter. Obviously, Ward won the second fight.
We all knew he lost. And in the second fight it was all BS and fixed. Kovalev was losing but in way he was knocked out they stopped the fight on purpose
No he didn't
I gotta agree and I'm also a Ward guy.
@@robertomorales787 Yeah he did, he landed the better shots which did more damage AND he scored a knockdown. That's points. Even Andre fought the 12th like he knew he was losing.
I had Ward winning the fight. The first one. Kovalev quit in that fight. Just like he did in the second fight.
Ward had to throw the usual game plan away after seeing how much bigger Kovalev really was. That inside fighting and body attack in the 2nd fight was vicious.
by body you mean balls ...?
I mean stomach. Kovalev was looking for an out and faked a low blow or two earlier that were shown to be fair punches on replay. Ward beat the bigger Kovalev into submission mentally and physically and Kovalev hasn't been the same since. Kovalev did too much crying and not enough fighting.

@@sumaball128 Go to that anatomy class ... you are late :D!
@@user-sd8bz2zr5jare you serious.... the four last punches landed on his abs
Absolutely incredible..!! Max respect to both of these remarkable exponents of the Sweet Science. No retreat, no surrender.
They kovalov says "hey that works let me try it" lol rjj is a fun commentator
The best thing Jones ever said was during the Mayweather Gatti fight. He said something like Gatti was thinking every time I hit this guy I get about 7 times, and as he is saying it Gatti gets hit about 7 or 8 times, and Jones was like 'see'. By the way, I recommend watching Floyd fight Gatti and Corrales. The Gatti and Corrales fights were Floyd's two best performances. Foreman did the Corrales fight, and he called it correctly, cause during the fight he said nobody is gonna beat Floyd.
Jones had spot on commentary the second fight. Everything he predicted would happen and progress started to for Ward. He could see Kovalev legs being gone earlier in the fight along with him looking for a way out from those body shots.
You’re a bad joke if you think those horrendous low blows were legal shots
@@JD-re3cj they were legal bye bye now
@@JD-re3cjyou can’t have your trunks over the belly button and then complain about low blows bro 😂😂😂
@@humbledragger6411tell usyk this
@@JD-re3cjThey both started a body blow war mid fight was but Kovas trunks were up over his bottom rib AND he kept doubling over , turning around , stopping fighting and complaining to the ref . The ref warned him multiple times but Kova didnt like the body shots coming back and kept looking for the ref to protect him . After which the ref had enough and deemed Kova to not be protecting himself . The ref did the right thing as Kova did not respond to the referees instructions to turn and fight . Ward is a friggin beast . ! Kova fought well untill those body blows but fell to peices under Wards continous and increasing pressure . He broke him ,mentall and physically. Tony Meeks is one of the best refs out there and gave Kova many opportunities to fight back but ultimately Ward was too much for him in those later rounds . Nothing to cry over at all .
And Kovalev says : "Hey looks like this works let me try it" lmaoo
Big Ward fan but Kovalev won first fight and SOG won second fight against edit: now if they fought again kov will get knocked out
No way he lost.
Spiritual nah Andre won both times
Ward won both fights how can u not win all of the first 6 rds and clearly lose all of the last 6 rds but win ? Don't make sense
@@nmbmemphisbeast3690 kovalev won the 1st. He won the 1st half of the fight
@@CMCut he lost 2 early rds and lost all last 6 rds
Awesome highlights. Thanks dude.
There first fight is the perfect example of “styles make fights.” Both use there lead left hand as power punches and Ward struggle to adjust to it.
Great fight! Seeing how The Krusher takes punishment here is more than an obvious proof that against "The Mighty" Canelo he went down. Great champ ward, such a shame he retired sooo early in his career.
Canelo is a cheat, aint nothing "mighty" about him.🚮
@@bigfishenergy7722 Bruh that "cheat " shit blown outta proportion and I bet you dont even know the amount he tested for . Yall run with it because the words and hate its fueled by
Kovalek ..nunca atacó a canelo .en toda la pelea .fue un bulto....por qué ...?? ..si hubiera pekeado..así contra canelo..lo tumba
Ward even looked surprised when they announced the winner in the first match.
@A Warrior a hype job if you ask me. Plenty more fighters that deserve that title, certainly mayweather deserves that more than ward.
yall gotta let it go!!! his caeer is finished
Who’s here after the Kov vs Yarde fight?
TIGERWOODSBOYFRIEND he wanted that money and fame
@TIGERWOODSBOYFRIEND Why career suicide? Don't you think he'll fight again? Yes, he lost but he took the fight. If he'd turned the fight down and taken the 'step aside' money he would no doubt be criticised for that too. There is no 'career suicide'. He'll learn from the experience and will likely go on to become a world champ...just as Kovalev himself said!!!
I think Kovalev himself would be uncomfortable about you guys making excuses for him and trying to convince the world that he won the fight and was somehow cheated out of the second. No shame in losing to Ward. He (Ward) is after all, an exceptional and rare talent.
@TIGERWOODSBOYFRIEND "career suicide"😂😂😂😂 So many more people now know who he is,that fight did him more good than harm.....now he just needs to get a proper team around him.
@@michaelbarnes2478 well said👍
I’m glad they both know how to fight in the clinch.
The right Ward hurt Kov with in 2nd fight was a thing of beauty.
Right hand?? His left hand destroyed kovalev in the 2 fights!! U have to learn some boxing, u donk
Ward lost the first fight no question thats a robbery
And came back second fight and knocked the man out.
@@jaybron5795 forsure it should be 1-1 3 fight shoulda happened 1 fight he lost is my point
I agree the first fight Ward lost unless the Judge seen something we didn’t see. The second fight Ward punished him
@@jaybron5795 if you count nut shots as a KO
The first time I watched it I thought it was Kovalev. After watching it again closely I saw Wards relentless bodywork and positioning. I can see both points of view though.
Sad that the beautiful sport of boxing is getting destroyed by such a bad judging. Kovalev has won the first clearly.
And 2nd if the ref saw the low blow, ward has no punching power how the fuck does he think he can knock out AJ just because Ruiz done it
Na it keeps boxing alive people like controversy pisses them off so they can watch the rematch and make more money and it works , I actually love controversy decisions in boxing
@@houstonpromotion yea you like especially it favors your athlete
Elton Subijano that’s so true lol

@@kingdaleclarkeward should’ve lost unanimous
@Tlc24891 I disagree. It was close and competitive. If someone had Kovalev winning in a close fight that's fine and vice versa. I felt Ward nicked it in the later rounds with the body work

Derek Foster no way kov would lose to a guy who fights cab drivers
Hamed 92 he did well considering his limited boxing background
No sir. Wards overall boxing skills won. After the knock down,ward won most of rounds. Look at him scoring jabs to head and body. Punches dont have to be powerful,just CLEAR,FLUSH and CRISP. Whether they hurt or not
Valentino Falcon fyi you commented on the wrong post.

Kovalevs head punches and knockdown plus controlling the fight especially first fight is absolutely fucking beautiful but SOMEHOW HE DOESNT WIN HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. ONLY DUMBASSES CANT UNDERSTAND MY LINGO HERE

Low blows
@@aldinewestfield5821 well kovalev should've had better defense
He didn't get hit with a low blow it was a body shot
Ward lost the first fight, and looks like on the second one kovalev was taking some suspicious low blows.
"wArD iS my fAvorite fighter bUt hE lOst the 1st oNe" lol
Sadly, Kovalev is just another victim of Vegas robbery. This fight clearly shows Kovalev is the rightful winner.
Every fighter at one point or the other in his career must have been robbed of a decision or gifted one. Only Cuban fighters constantly stay robbed LOL.
Yup just like when B Hop was robbed in the Taylor fight! Straight robbery
What highlight were you watching dumbass?😂 The second fight clearly showed Kovalev bitching from those body shots
Kovalev beat Ward's ass, ward tried fighting dirty by holding him and hitting him at the same, but he still got outclassed.
Outside of the first two rounds in the first fight, what did Kovalev do?
The judges are bias and blind. They should be banned from judging.
Its vegas! Corruption is great😭😂🤣
Exactly first fight he dropped him and didn't get dropped and stayed consistent and lost HOW🤷 second fight ward kept throwing low blows and grabbing and didn't get disqualified Kokalev was robbed twice America we some bullies, just take your shit like Debo
Not the full fight
Until now I cant understand what fight the judges were watching in their first fight. Clear win for Kovalev
The one they were paid off on
that red and white jordan attire was soo sick i do that for mty guy on fight night champion hahah
Anyone that says Ward won the first fight is a damn liar and anyone that says Kovalev did not loose the 2nd fight is a Liar.
What do u know
7thvenom you are correct same goes for canelo vs ggg canelo won the second fight people need to stop saying ggg got robbed the second fight it’s total bullshit but yes I feel ggg did get robbed the first fight by just a little bit he didn’t really get robbed it’s just the score cards should have been closer
All 3 judges got it wrong? Lol I think first fight could have been a draw or Ward edge him but Kovalev did good tho. Ward showed 2nd fight that’s he’s better
Lowblows
Anybody who does not think Ward hit kov with low blows in the 2 fight is a lier
First fight was a robbery. Not childish and foolish explanations. A robbery with all its letters. Second one was a clear victory, even with the low blow.
how can it be a clear victory if the fight was won by a low blow?
all about dodgy promoters paying of judges.Kovalev is managed by a women who is shit and ward has the elite who have boxing in there pocket.
@@Technique-kj2bp because Kovalev was bent over in an illegal position forcing Ward to aim lower. Same thing happens if you push a fighters head down and his blows stay low. The referee will rule it incidental and won't take a point
Yes the second one he had him badly hurt good stoppage kov was weak, first one I’m still looking for all those power shots that supposedly turned the tide after the knockdown and ring generalship that ward had
@aaron pryor I agree. They figure you out!
these fights was great
Kovalev clearly won the first fight, everyone knew it including Ward, except the judges.
Ward is good but I don’t see anything special. He definitely lost this fight!
Them the only ones that count tho
If you watch the first fight closely, you see Kovalev started off good the early rounds and even knocking Ward down, but around the 5th or 6th round I noticed Andre figured Kovalev out and from that point won the rest of the rounds. That's why the next fight Andre goes In there knowing exactly what to do and finishes him. But I see your point why you would think Kovalev won, cause it was close in the early rounds.
i like ward but this first fight was straight robery, Kovalev took it men
Fuk up.. kovalev got humiliated
Know he didn't, I know I lost 3k on that fight. I was sure ward would be knocked out by this heavy hitter. But ward came back and won on points I was there live for this fight. I didn't like losing 3k, but I had to be honest, ward won on points it was a close fight.
Kolvalev got schooled properly.
@@joys8634 hahaha I watched the second fight myself
jjosephdubya LOL I’m white and I like Ward. Wards DAD is a White man.
1st Fight: Definite Kovalev win. 2nd Fight: Kovalev gassed out and Ward won, fair and square.
fair ans square hit the man in the balls at least 3 times?? really? that´s the reason Ward will never be remembered as a great fighter ´cause he was always dirty.
Sogeorgetown X borderline shots kovalev admitted this .
Being hit multiple times with a low blow constitutes a stoppage? Ward was winning but the stoppage was unfair
Sogeorgetown X hit at least twice but why tf was kovalev faking some low Blows that were on the belt line?

Ward has been working out with Nate Diaz too much. He is trying to do take downs LOL.
Beautiful
I can see them with the ud in the first fight but Ward definitely still won… that second fight made it clear who was the better of the two things
Sergey got absolutely robbed in the first fight even giving ward generously the last few rounds which would be bizarre kovalev was still up on the cards......first kovalev now fury
what do you mean "first". boxing has been corrupt since the sport was created. where the hell have you been
Kovalev got robbed, GGG got fuckin robbed and so did Fury. If i was from europe id never fight in these political bullshit ass states/country
@@brandonlewis5045 ahh ok, so Boxing coucils are against Europeons in boxing because you can point to 3 instances in the thousands of championship matches in which you question the victor? Racist and Paranoid, bro you're fucked...
Lmao Kovalev and Fury where not robbed. Gang of casuals.
Brawling Style yea and Sergey quit that second one.. He was looking for a way out....
Both good fights just poor judging and ref
Pretty Boy Flizzy both good fights... hard to score them....
Judges seem to rob good fights when they happen in America,no wonder American fighters rarely or never fight outside The US it's frustrating.Andre Ward though is a stand up guy,he dint rob Kovalev,the judges did in the first fight.
After watching a lot of ward fights, he reminds me a lot of floyd, very talented fighter who then seem to fight dirty when they realize they can't win the fight..
I had Kov winning the first fight until I went back and watched it again.
Kova was robbed
Who’s here after hearing Canelo may fight Kovalev ✌️✌️✌️
nope but thanks for letting me know
Doesn't he have to fight Yarde first. That could be interesting.
Me
Canelo is a good fighter, but when decision goes to judges, he aways wins
Canelo keeping his name relevant cause he ain't conna fight anybody this year
ward is unbelievable, after being rocked like that in the first couple of rounds including a ko, he still came back! I got kovalev winning the first fight though
a knock down you mean? Ko stands for knock out.
That fight was close like GGG vs Canelo #1
If you agree with me that Kov lost the 1st fight too even thou it was close.. Then you really really know how to watch boxing.... Ward Master boxer... Well done to the judges
Yes sir
Boxing. the most corrupt sport in the world. Everyone knows Kovalev won that fight.
Why ? 😆
Hell no
@@yusufb2707 pushed the fight Pace,Landed more Cleane punches and knocked Ward down.
Right? What the fuck is wrong the judges and every other person that knows anything about boxing you fucking twat shut up.
Lucille Ferdinand kovalev won that's more than a fact!
Kovalev won the first!!!
@DaperDerBy yeah after severall nut shots.
Always loved 😍 ward ,when he first Started boxing 🥊
Kovalev seems like one of those fighters you think you could beat until you step in the ring with him. He does nothing special but I notice he sticks to the basics and keeps it simple plus he's tough. He using those long arms and reach well but Ward is a complete fighter and a entertaining athlete
Kovalev won the first fight and Ward the second.
Ward cheated with low blows
What low blows, now your lying. Everyone knows not one punch was low, we found out kovolev can't take body shots. He was exposed in both fights. Ward came off the flood and work him on points the second fight kovolev got the business and got beat up damn near knockout, crying he got hit low but the film shows there wasn't any low blows so, how are you seeing low blows and there is any blows landing low.
@@CopperAboriginies video proof it was low blows
@@aldinewestfield5821 I looking at the fight, now as I stated what low blows. I do see belt line gut blows, those are not low, low blows are to his nuts. There aren't any blows to his balls, this weak bodied fighter can't take body shots, his body is soft in this fight and in the second fight. Now in the second fight I guess you all will say the same thing those punches are low. Ward hit kovolev more then any other fighters he's faced that was the difference between them and Ward. Fights over get over it, you saying low blows surely don't change the out come does it, kovolev lost then quit those are on his record then he got beat again the same way. Was those low blows too, he's done send his ass home.
Copper Aboriginies except instead of looking at the belt line look at where the ref establishes where they can’t punch below. It’s not always directly on the name. There is a detailed video breaking this down proving the punches were low lol
Andre Ward's professional boxing career was so brilliant, from start to finish. One of the greats, to be sure.
🤢🤮
Stfu casual fanboy
😳
Yeah he really brought low blows on a different level
Great fighters!!
Affirmative Action is when Andre Ward gets dropped, yet is given the decision.
