What If Jacobs Uses Ward's Tactics? Could play spoiler

charging in head down..... with a clinch. http://stream1.gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs6/3234236_o.gif http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zz3p63WSXZE/TPHcxGU1QTI/AAAAAAAAAfE/-EcSPAYv4b0/s1600/w9.gif headbutt hits. illegal. then throw arms up to grapple. illegal. then hold and punch. illegal. rinse and repeat.

Watch fights if one arm is free, refs always let you box out. This isn't rocket science if you've seen boxing before then you know. Your beloved kell brook did it frequently vs porter never was a fan of brook. so i don't even know where that straw reach came from. i see the fight and Ward repetitively dove head first into the clinch and rabbit punching the ribs with the other hand holding. it's all on film.

So holding and hitting (unless you're holding someone's head down) isn't an illegal tactic. If I can hit you, then you can hit me because obviously we have a hand free. Refs break it up when there is no action or when both arms are tied up. There are rules to boxing and then there are people who complain when they don't know the rules of boxing.

Ward diving for a double leg http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/boxing/2016/11/20/JS114160424-clinch-AP-large_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqqVzuuqpFlyLIwiB6NTmJwbPDxQbNY14cEL39VO5FRUc.jpg

that's only because Ward is training a different sport. He's not doing boxing. He's clinching. Holding and hitting. which are both illegal but due to home ref and judges, he somehow got a decision in a boxing ring. it was a disgrace. it is what it is.

Unmarked and unseated. lol that's only because Ward is training a different sport. He's not doing boxing. He's clinching. Holding and hitting. which are both illegal but due to home ref and judges, he somehow got a decision in a boxing ring. it was a disgrace. it is what it is.

Unmarked and unseated. lol Damn Ward's face was f*cked up. Andre got the decision but most fans know who won.:)

Ward was the man wearing big sunglasses at midnight. Kovalev was unmarked. lol Unmarked and unseated. lol

While kovs head snapped back multiple times. Right. And you proved my point ward loves to smother another one dimensional fighters offense and when you don't have an inside game what do u do? That's right u hold. Ward was the man wearing big sunglasses at midnight. Kovalev was unmarked. lol

Every Ward fight is an ugly fight because Ward is all about "taking the fight out of the fight". lol Andre smothers the other fighters offence but he also smothers his own. Ward had to get inside because he was getting battered by "full-extension" jabs. lol While kovs head snapped back multiple times. Right. And you proved my point ward loves to smother another one dimensional fighters offense and when you don't have an inside game what do u do? That's right u hold.

Watched fight live and replay on sky. Please take it slow son. Ward fights inside, everyone on earth knows that. Kov doesn't and that is also a well known fact. Who has the incentive to hold the in fighter, the only one who landed effective inside punches or the fighter who needs full extension? Be logical young man Every Ward fight is an ugly fight because Ward is all about "taking the fight out of the fight". lol Andre smothers the other fighters offence but he also smothers his own.

lol @ listing biased murican hbo announcers. can u see with ur eyes? go watch Kovalev's history of fights. how often does he clinch? go look at ward's history of fights. the discussion is over. Ward is the one initiating the clinch. Kovalev was simply trying to neutralize the holding and hitting Ward does by clamping down his greco roman clinch. Watched fight live and replay on sky.

Lol @ this struggle thread. Almost every announcer said kovalevs tactic for neutralizing wards inside game was to clench, yet ward was Greco roman? lol @ listing biased murican hbo announcers. can u see with ur eyes? go watch Kovalev's history of fights. how often does he clinch? go look at ward's history of fights. the discussion is over.

Hunter isn't Jacobs coach, Jacobs just wanted to get away from the distractions in NY, and enjoy some better weather on the West Coast. His trainer knows Hunter and asked to use his gym. As for using Ward tactics, Andre has a unique style. Love it or hate it, it's one of a kind and that's why you never see anybody else fight like Ward. Kassim Ouma tried to fight Golovkin by moving inside and had some sucess but took a lot of punishment and was stopped. Jacobs has a punchers chance but Golovkin is at least a level above him and will have an answer for anything Jacobs brings. listen Hunter is in Jacob's training camp helping him to prepare. Hunter is known for the greco roman clinch like Memo is known for hulking butt shots.

Now that Jacobs is using Virgil Hunter as his coach then this could very well be plan B. In case boxing doesn't go well then do Ward's impression 6-12 rounds in the Kovalev fight. That is run in with the head straight into greco roman clinch. when in the clinch, holding and hitting. home court compubox will count those as powerpunches. This is very difficult to prepare for because every maneuver is illegal under the rules of boxing. Really Virgil Hunter and Ward are training a different sport than most boxers. They are training a hybrid of Greco Roman wrestling and Boxing. I wonder how Gennady will fare Hunter isn't Jacobs coach, Jacobs just wanted to get away from the distractions in NY, and enjoy some better weather on the West Coast.

LMAO i was like LMAO Ward is competing in a completely different sport than his boxing peers. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zz3p63WSXZE/TPHcxGU1QTI/AAAAAAAAAfE/-EcSPAYv4b0/s1600/w9.gif

Where's the buzz for this fight? Will it even do 97K? The buzz is probably coming from actual boxing fans who've paid attention to the sport and love to see the top two in a division fight.
