Ward can weather Kovalev's shots and still remain focused enough to win the fight. There's not much that the slower and less defense minded Golovkin could offer.
Hey op still waiting for you back on the misc bruh. I've been saying for the longest to just forget about this fight. It won't happen in a million years. Ward isn't moving down and gg has no desire to fight a bigger man, despite all the "golovkin can beat ward and Kov" talk from abel
Kov struggled fighting on the inside which GGG does well.
He also struggled to cut the ring off at certain times.
Thoughts on Ward vs GGG
Golovkin gets stopped inside of 8 rounds, in a sustained beating that probably ends up being worse than the beating that Ward put on Paul Smith (Golovkin's defense still leaves a ton to be desired).
Abel Sanchez is going to see his prized pupil take his whooping, and he's going to have to find it in his heart to save his fighter and try to salvage what's left of his run.
Ward is a LHW, Golovkin a MW. Do you really think it would be a fair fight? just clinching Ward would probably win it. Golovkin is too small. All close rounds would go to Ward and Ward would win UD, like yesterday. Shity judges.
