I agree with Brand. Ward is a highly skilled boxer who easily won every round and hit Brand with his best punches often but he never hurt him. Kovalev is also a highly skilled boxer but he has real KO power in both hands and his long jab has tremendous power. Ward doesn't have enough power to hold off Kovalev's attack.
Cant see anything but a Ward decision here. Kovalev is a decent, but for me Ward is tied with Rigo as the best boxer right now. Ward is so underrated its crazy, guy is so talented and he isn't exactly boring either. Ward is different level to Kovalev, I wouldn't be surprised if Ward won 118-112 or something as wide as that. Dont get me wrong Kovalev has the ability to win, and win by KO but he just doesnt have the ability of Ward, technically he is nowhere near as good.
Ward will clinch, move, elbow, clinch, jab, move, right hand, elbow...all night long but that will be enough to win with the way judging occurs in boxing these days and because Kovalev won't be good enough or strong enough on the inside to do quality work of his own.
I love it when a losing fighter acts very sportsman like at the post fight interviews IN the ring, but LATER on his bruised ego comes out :lol1:. Here's where the innuendo excuse comes out, he ran, he never hurt me :lol1:...last week it was Postal, lol
Every time Ward connected this fool did the salsa. Two soon to be Ward victims consoling each other.
This will be Kov on Nov. 19:

You're not going for the fellow American?
I wonder why that is?
If Ward was from the UK, all his dumb hypocrite fans would call him a Eurobum
Dumbest motherf*ckers on the internet
:lol1: Yet Brand was the one on his bike and holding all night. Talk about salty
That was a bad fight, but Ward actually tried to knock this guy out, he just doesn't have the power
Back-peddling because of good footwork:lol1:...like Ward was kicking him.
Come on now...
Brand was backing up for a reason...because of Ward's hands...not his feet.
Brand was probably planning to go to a corner so atleast Ward will stand in front of him for one second to punch him. Brand went to US expecting guns blazing, and he just saw the guy in front of him run laps around himself.
Why so salty???
YOU implied Kovalev could walk thru Ward after what you saw in the Brand fight...don't get all moist and call names over something YOU said.
Kovalev ain't walking thru shi.t...you can believe that.
I didnt imply anything, I said exactly what I meant. Troll is an insult to you? Thats all Ive seen you trying to do since I noticed you last night. I was just acknowledging your attempt, however feeble.
So why was Brand back-peddling if Ward's fits are so featherly??
Ward just has good footwork. He is a good boxer. He needs to start hitting more though. That was pathetic. Brand shouldn't be standing after 7th round.
I worry about the Kovalev Vs. Ward fight I truly believe Ward will be the dirtiest version of himself yet expect a Kessler type of showing I mean he will lead with his head into the clinches I seriously hope a referee will not allow this.
People complained about Wladimir but least the man would try get the job finished with a KO Ward is ten times more boring he just does enough, runs about and clinches he is easily the most overrated boxer about talent wise he has nothing on the likes of Lara, Rigo, Lomachenko, Golovkin and Spence.
you think he can just walk thru Ward...:pat:
You have comprehension issue little troll. I didnt say he was going to walk through him but I do feel like he will walk him down. Do you understand what that means in boxing terms? The better question is are you like so many others here who go on the defensive as soon as someone says contrary to your opinion?
Kovalev doesn't have the chin to walk thru a rainstorm.
You don't need much of a chin to walk through Ward's rainstorm. Brand was probably in "wtf" mode all game watching ward's feather fist and him run.
You're not going for the fellow American?
I wonder why that is?
Plenty of people don't follow boxing with the idea of only rooting for American/British fighters let it go you stupid troll.
Ward is one of the most disliked person in the sport he is absolutely terrible for the sport he damages the reputation of it.
