Cordarrelle Patterson stepping it up, got a real QB for once Vic TafurVerified account@VicTafur Raiders are excited about @ceeflashpee84 and you can see why so far. Big, very fast, has caught everything and has had some nice runs
It would take a slip of concentration by Floyd for Conor to win. He will play the scorecard as he usually does and it'll be just as boring as his fight vs Manny. The only hope is that Conor gets annoyed with Floyd's defense and just starts kicking the shit out of him and gets DQ'd.
Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall, who won Super Bowl 50 in 2016, is from North Las Vegas and returns to the city to host youth football camps in the offseason. At one of his camps last weekend, Marshall was asked for his thoughts on the Oakland Raiders moving to Las Vegas. “I think it’s a great move — I think it’s a great move for the city,” Marshall said during a recent interview with KVXL Radio. Marshall, 27, was then asked if he has considered finishing his career playing in his home city with the Raiders. “Who knows? We’ll see. If the Broncos don’t want me by 2020 and the Raiders do, then I’m all for it.” Lol
weird ending for ward/kovalev 2 looked like a couple low blows even if they weren't, not sure why weeks stopped it curious to see what @Fall Winslow and @N.Z think
You can't stop the fight there. Those punches were close enough to at least give him time. At least one was certified. Weak ass finish.
I was in there, pretty good seats. I saw one low blow early in the fight, but even that one was borderline..Roy Jones does a good job of explaining what's truly low in the vid below. Ward did a great job of establishing himself early in comparison to the last fight, even though Kovalev was high energy early as well, the 1st 3 rounds were probably 2-1 in favor of Ward. It was just a different fight from the very beginning, my 1st take away. He made a concerted effort to take gas out of Kovalev's tank early, just kept whipping Kovalev's solar plexus even after the low blow warning early. He persisted. Ward just wasn't gonna reinvent the wheel, carried over his attack/performance from the 2nd half of the last fight like I thought he might. But Kovalev definitely landed some good shots to Ward's head early and it was a competitive fight for 6 or 7 rounds. I thought Kovalev tried a little too much to smother Ward because Ward's inside game is what he's known for, but on the other hand Kovalev isn't really a guy who's going to move away and box either, so maybe he was just doing what he's best at and was willing to go down being himself. Every time Kovalev/Ward got tangled up, Ward gave him a little something to ribs and solar plexus to take back with him..sometimes returned a shot to the back of the head as well..both got a little dirty with that. But then Ward eventually took the middle of the ring and established control/met Kovalev for trades and Kovalev didn't have it in the tank to land significantly in those exchanges. Bayless probably could let the fight go on, but to my eye, Kovalev himself didn't really wanna fight anymore..he turned his back and walked away from the action several times..and that's aside from all the bending over and faking like Ward was hitting him in the nuts, begging for help. Kovalev was taking some real shots to the chin at the end there when Ward was advancing and he was definitely hurt up top as well. You watch those last couple rounds and the indicator is Kovalev with his hands pretty much down all the time trying to protect his stomach from being whipped, so I can see how a ref would wanna protect a guy in that situation because he was just leaving his head wide open for pelting and Ward was landing flush and hurting him. Kovalev's only defense for his head was to just pretty much stoop over while holding his stomach..off balance, so more than likely an overhand right or left hand was coming to nail that coffin regardless. I was disappointed in the stoppage only because I wanted to see Kovalev hit the canvas, but ultimately I still left my feet when Ward put his hands in the air because jackpot. Lol Simply put, Ward is still the pound for pound champ, ranked numero uno.
This kids, is why you shouldn't gamble. http://www.sfgate.com/technology/bu...eemingly-meaningless-shot-in-the-11215489.php
