I thought Crawford was in for a semi tough fight against Postal but he made him look terrible and lost in the ring that night. While Terrence didn't do anything more than necessary, he showed he was a level or two above Postal. Anyone here think Ward can put on a similar performance against Kovalev in November?
I'm hoping for a great fight but wouldn't be surprised if Ward just dominated him somehow and made it an unexciting snoozer...
Postol and kovalev fight nothing alike. They're both eastern euros, but that's where similarities end. Kov can also be awkward with those flying jabs he likes to do.
I think Ward /kov will look very similar to Kessler / Ward, a lot of holding by Andre.
My point was that if Kovalev is down on the cards, he'll make an effort unlike Postol.
... Just when Kovalev was "down on the cards"?... :)
Now: wait until that fat lady (aka Ward) sings... and shows up, in November, in front of Kovalev...
ward's not that good of a boxer so no it won't look like that. ward got outjabbed by abraham for 3 roudns and outjabbed by barrera. ward will have to go kessler on kovalev and his fanboys will come on here saying it was kovlev's fault for not dealing with a guy cheating nonstop.
You late, I made this exact same thread. Ward can't move like Crawford anymore, so no. He will move a lot tho, but not nearly as much as Crawford did. Krusher is also much more fluid offensively than Postol and has waaay more power p4p than postal.
Oh sorry, I haven't been on in like a week or so....
Ward is going to make this fight as ugly has he can. He'll move and run but I think he's going to hug and hold more than anything. Running expends a lot of energy, holding not so much.
Regardless, I think that action will be hard to find in this fight and it'll let a lot of people down as far as the entertainment factor is concerned
dont think so, havent seen ward run/move like bud did in that last fight and i dont think his capable of it tbh. Also if kov is down he will pull the trigger and go for a ko much sooner then Postal did in the 12th.
Kovalev will go apeshit if he has to.
This and what Larry said. He's a much better fighter than Postol, but even in the case that Ward starts pulling away big, I have full faith that Kov will go all out in an effort to get a KO

Don't think ward ever fought like Crawford that night and I doubt he can if he tried because kov can cut off the ring better than postol. Got ward winning but not like the way Crawford won.
