Will Ward beat Kovalev in similar fashion as Crawford??

No Postol has no pop Kovalev does

Ward is not as gifted or athletic as Crawford is as a slick boxer. Ward makes his money by being crafty on the inside. He may be able to impliment a fight plan similar to Crawford's, but it won't work. Kovalev is too good at moving in and out. Postol wasn't even aggressive. He was afraid to get countered. Kovalev will jump back and forth, reset, throw a short right hand followed by a long jab. Jump back reset feint to the head, throw a jab to the body, etc. He is a lot smarter with his attack, even if it consists mostly of 1-2's. Kovalev has the Euro style with some sickness mixed in because of who is trainer is.

Postol won this 115-111. Go watch it again. The crowd influenced things, cheering for shorts that never even connected. Apart from the flash knockdowns, Crawford was missing almost everything and being countered. The commentators skewed your judgement. Kovalev is 10x better than Postol too. But Ward is much better than Crawford. I think it will be a closer fight. Postol won pretty comfortably and got robbed.

Ward doesn't move around like Crawford, he feels more comfortable controlling the action from up close even though he'll move a little from time to time. On top of that, Kovalev ain't afraid to get dirty, Postol was afraid to take chances and waited until the last round to try and make things happen. Just no, it never crossed me.

lol these ****ing americans are so funny, I love seeing your hate. Postol always been a bum, but admit that Kovalev will mop the floor with all light heavyweights now except for Ward

no, but i think kov will have periods of trigger shyness like postol had just bc ward will definitively counter his right making him scared to pull it.

Is ward even that slick, just a dirty spoiler who fight on the inside Ward is very slick and very versatile. He does a hell of a lot more than fight dirty and spoil on the inside. When even is the last time he clinched and spoiled a fight inside? Green or Bika?

I would be even more surprised than I was by Crawford/Postol. Mainly because Kovalev has that vicious streak that would never accept getting outboxed and humiliated round after round like Postol accepted it. Kovalev will get ugly and try to force the fight in ways Postol did not. Also, Kovalev is used to being the aggressor, where Postol is used to being the boxer.

Just cos 2 guys are black doesn't mean they fight the same. Ward is a lot slower on his feet and a lot stronger on the inside, plus he holds a lot more and is very adept at using his head and elbow. Ward will win in a much more physical and ugly fight.

I have Ward as favorite but Kovalev brings a lot more to the table than Postol

not watching them videos, as soon as i saw 'head control' (another word for cheating) i'd seen enough. WTF? Do you even know what that terms means? Never mind, you don't and are unwilling to learn. When a fan just wants to watch big punchers because that's all they can understand, that's fine. But, don't start talking shyt about a guy like Ward not being slick because you clearly can't hang in that convo.

Is ward even that slick, just a dirty spoiler who fight on the inside Someone needs and education it seems...

yeah i am serious, was a hell of a lot of people who tipped hopkins to beat kovalev, kept saying he would be another pavlik Ward is 31 and Prime..trust me there is a difference

no it wont, unlike crawford, andre 'S.O.B' ward has not been active and has not been fighting remotely credible competition in the last 5 years. How long is he going to live off of the super six for? Hopkins lateral movement and feints didnt cause krusher too much problems Hopkins was also 50 years old man..are you serious?

Hey, did you bet tonight? Yes, but only 100 dollars with my uncle. Postol is a good fighter. I didn't have confidence in the outcome.

Yes! Kovalev won't look like a krusher. He will get schooled! Hey, did you bet tonight?

P4P Postol is a sharper boxer but Kovalev is considerably more powerful. Ward has little in common with Crawford. Terrance was moving like crazy. Ward is very economical in his movement. He will stand in front of a guy and slip or parry in order to counter. He wont dance with a guy like Crawford was doing. I expect Andre to move a little more than usual, like he did with Dawson. He'll also be extremely mindful of space and openings, like he did with Kessler. He'll shut down Kovalev's left with his lead and time his right. Andre is too big to move around like Crawford. He'd be exhausted in 6 rounds.

I think Ward wins the fight, but Kovalev is far from a plodder. He used exceptional in and out movement against Hopkins.

I don't think so. Kovalev is a more intelligent boxer and has more power for his weight class than Postol. Don't judge him by his last fight, he was not right psychologically because of what happened the previous time he fought in that venue. :lol1: Kovalev doesn't give a **** bro.

I was thinking that too, but Kovalev is much better and if he were down deep on the cards, you better believe he's going for broke and swinging for the fences unlike the beta Postol.
