Who looked better in their last fight: Ward or Kovalev

15 days to go

Ward vs Brand looked like a damn bum fight. Kovalev Chilemba was just a good competitive fight between some top guys. Kovalev looked much better. Also the excuses that HBO were making for Ward, seriously, the fuk was that? Terribly bias commentary.

Both looked like sht.

Ward of course...Ward had complete control over a terrified opponent. Kovalev seemed a little befuddled by Chilemba.

It was usual ward, kovalev seemed a bit off.

I'd say Kovalev. He wasn't as dominant as we're used to, but he was facing a fighter much better than Brand.

I think Killa Kov would have bodied (possibly in a literal fashion) Brand in 2 rounds, while Chilemba would have possibly defeated Ward. Based on their last two fights, I have Killa Kov breaking Ward down with strafing jabs to the body and putting him down with a well-timed overhand right. Fight goes 9 rounds with Hunter stopping the fight in the corner to spare Ward further embarrassment and punishment. Want to bet on that?

Why do you think Brand is much worse than Chillemba? Brand wasn't ranked inside the top 10 at 168, not even ranked at 175 AT ALL. Chilemba got ripped off against Alvarez and against Bellew in the rematch. I had him as an undefeated boxer heading into the Kovalev fight. Both of his fights with Bellew were in Bellew's backyard.

Yeah the fight itself served no purpose to Ward, but he got 1 more full training camp before Kovalev. In the last 1/3 of the fight he tried so hard to knock him out but he couldn't and it looked bad for Ward. It looks like he has no power to keep Kovalev off him, but I can still see him giving him trouble with his movement, quickness and body shots. I'm rooting for Kovalev to knock him out, but if Ward wins he deserves all the credit.

kovalev's fight atleast made sense, it was the closest guy he could get to ward stylistically, it helped him prepare for ward. Ward's fight served zero purpose. A 40 year old 168 pounder who fights nothing like kovalev doesnt do anything for ward.

Kovalev looked better to me. Ward couldn't drop a very ordinary 39 year old 168 pound unranked and unknown boxer. Kovalev would KO Brand in two rounds or less in my opinion.

Don't really matter now does it? We find out who is the better fight we they FIGHT EACH OTHER! http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f207/dirtysexytalk/snoop%20dogg%20celebrating.gif

Well ward shut his guy out 12-0 and kovalev lost some rounds so you have to go with ward. Niether guy had their best performance though.

Ward has the skill-set to beat Kovalev, plus Kovalev looked terrible against Chilemba, so my money is on Ward right now but if Ward does get knocked out by Kovalev that won't be much of a surprise either.

Chilemba is a top 10 LHW, Brand isn't even a top 30 fighter at SMW. Do you see the difference now and why I questioned whether you're retarded or not? No actual boxing fan would ask what you did. You've obviously never watched Brand or Chillemba fight, you just googled their rankings and Boxrec, and now you want to act smart like you know what you're talking about. You're just a huge pretender.

Are you on your period? It was just a question :bottle: I didn't see Ward getting his face popped back repeatedly by a jab like kkkovalev was. Chilemba is a top 10 LHW, Brand isn't even a top 30 fighter at SMW. Do you see the difference now and why I questioned whether you're retarded or not? No actual boxing fan would ask what you did.

Brand was a 30K sparring partner nothing more...who actually landed a few. He hit Ward with a clean liver shot in I think the 3rd or 4th round but didn't get depth on it. If Kovalev can land on him with a shot like that it will be much different. Brand was pretty small...Kovalev is quite a bit bigger than Brand with longer arms. Chilemba is 6' 2" and 10 years younger than Brand...I think he would have given Ward a harder time than Brand.

Ward looked frustrated with a tomato can. He should've ko'd this bum. Not a great performance today but OK.

Why do you think Brand is much worse than Chillemba? Good point. Brand was 25-1 with 19 KOs. He has the record of a dangerous power puncher and the look of a killer even though he's almost 40 and still has baby fat.
