When Ward clearly beats Kovalev in Nov what will be the top excuses by detractors

I think Ward will win this fight by UD & he will make it look easy. You can bet he will throw a head butt or 2. Evander Holyfield did it all the time. If you can get away with it then why not? That's how Holyfield beat guys who were bigger. He would get them out of their game plan. Ward does the same but he is an excellent boxer so he can disguise it well. I think Kovalev will need to keep his cool & be prepared for it because he will get butted. If he loses his cool when it happens then it's all over for him. Say what you want about Ward but he is one of the best in my generation. I don't like his style but he gets it done...

nah, if he blatantly cheats im not counting it as a win. That is why I dont count Kessler as a win, is a no contest in my view You can tell you have never been in a boxing ring, you sound like a 12 year old. Because when you have been in there, you just don't think like that. You might think the other guy was bending the rules and makes the most of what he can get away with, but ultimately it is up to you to use what you know to counteract what the other guy is doing. Ricky Hatton beat a lot of guys by getting off his own shots and combinations and then falling in holding, stealing a rest, and repeating again. The first time I saw him, I thought "Wow, this is going to be a hard guy to beat". His style created a number of issues for fighters, namely he was on them so quick, he closed the distance but he had a natural defence mechanism and style which stopped guys from getting their own shots off, they had to catch him coming in but it was an extremely small window. It took Floyd ****ing Mayweather to finally beat him, and so my point is if Kovalev is good enough he will find a way. Kessler wasn't good enough, he wasn't versatile enough, he could only fight at one distance and that was his main problem against Ward and Calzaghe. Boxing has been littered with fighters who bend the rules and stretch the limits of the rules, you wouldn't be surprised to know that lots of those guys are HOF'ers and ATG's. If you look at the sheer amount of clinching Ali does in his fights with Frazier for example - you would probably be surprised. Wladimir Klitschko...enough said I think. Sweet Pea, Naseem Hamed, were constantly bending below the waist, but to be honest there is something to be said to be athletic enough to do that in a effective way...I could go on forever. Bottom line...you need to get over it. Lets watch the fight - and hope for a good fight, may the best man win.

If Ward wins, it will be no shock... He's one of the most talented fighters out there. If Kovalev wins there will be shock, it's not often you see fighters like him beat slick boxers

they are already making excuses he is boring he will run he will clinch I guess they miss that he lands 45% of his shots and his opponents only land 25% or less....you cant beat who you cant hit excuses are for losers and the weak :lame: What will the demographic say when Kovalev schools Ward will they say he was too big and powerful for Ward even though Ward struggles to make 175lbs?

no excuses from me, apart from if he fouls. That's not an excuse though, that's ward winning because he cheated ready made excuse

Hell they are already making excuses and the fight is 2 months away

Stop paying me any kind of attention..... Dumb ass nah, i love whores like you

I just want to know where all the guys that said Kovalev will lay Ward out easily have gone. I saw so many threads and posts along those lines a few months ago, but now totally dried up. I wish I had kept track of all those posters. It is totally hilarious - regardless of the fighter or situation, stick to your convictions!!! I have always said Ward would win, he is a different class to these guys, if I am proven wrong I will show up here and admit I was wrong, and why. But to be so outspoken and then disappear when the fight is made...shame on you lol. I think half these guys disappeared after seeing Ward and Kovalev side by side and realising that they isn't a large size disparity. Utter Moron's. They know who they are and are upset I'm standin by my convictions They just hope kov wins they don't have much faith... I truly believe ward wins....their is a difference

Ward clinched Ward ran Ref was against kovolev Kovolev was sick Kovolev had the Hershey squirts Kovolev had an undisclosed injury Ward is juiced Kovolev took a dive Kovolev didn't wear the right socks Checkmate lol

you are such an attention whore :rofl: Stop paying me any kind of attention..... Dumb ass

That's an opinion not a fact. :dunce: is a fact that he bores the vast majority of boxing fans

I met andre ward today here in Dallas, humble cool brother wish him well, good luck to him, Kov will come to fight but i dont think he has enough

One thing i've noticed on this board is that most posters don't know what a "fact" is. fact, noun: a truth known by actual experience or observation; something known to be true: "andre ward is in fact boring as fuck"

and btw, "he is boring" is not an excuse, is a fact. the main reason why he isn't popular

you are such an attention whore :rofl:

they are already making excuses he is boring he will run he will clinch I guess they miss that he lands 45% of his shots and his opponents only land 25% or less....you cant beat who you cant hit excuses are for losers and the weak :lame: Ok Ms. Cleo.

Just take a look at all Freedom's post regarding the fight. The excuses just leap out at you

The one posted is the 3rd round I tweeked my arm again and finished the round Its a part of sports You work your way through them I been training my ass off and working with the green guys getting my trainer chops refined ...you athletic stuff...something you know nothing about We do pro rounds...3 min....30 sec breaks....fun as hell makes you calm down Yea...something i know nothing about. :lol1: Had a few sparring sessions, now you're a vet in the game huh? :lol1: stop with the assumptions.

He is a boring fighter who clinches way too much. Doesn't mean I don't respect his skills. You could be the best in the world at putting a puzzle together, doesn't mean I have to love watching you do it. why you hating on puzzles? banned
