Tonight is boxing’s most anticipated fight of 2016: Sergey Kovalev vs. Andre Ward in a Light Heavyweight world title showdown. Bloody Elbow will have live fight night coverage all night, including round by round results and recaps.
Rounds 4-6
Round 4: Another close round here with Ward looking to make some adjustments and figure out Kovalev. He has some successes here, with a few punches landing clean, though as we saw last round, they still aren’t impacting Kovalev. Best punch of the round was a Kovalev left early - enough to win the round, but Ward is in it. 10-9 Kovalev
Round 5: Ward lands his best punches of the fight here, including a nice body shot from the inside and a few good jabs outside. He seems to knock Kovalev’s head back twice with those shots, and though Kovalev continues to come forward, this was Ward’s best round. 10-9 Ward
Round 6: Things getting more sloppy inside now, with Ward trying to make it an inside war where he works the body, but Kovalev keeps holding him and not allowing it for the most part. In the second half of the round, Kovalev lands some nice outside punches, while Ward manages to connect to the body a few times inside - but not with as much force. 10-9 Kovalev, 59-54 Kovalev through 6
