he eventually deleted this after a while from his ig.
have you ever heard kovalev talk like this? .. thats why people say ward is in his head. he is behaving out of character. hes talking about ending wards career. this is a guy that has killed someone in the ring. he's not doing this to hype sht up. he is genuinely mad over ward dragging his feet to make the rematch. he has been constantly harassing ward on social media since the first fight. he hasnt even gone this far with stevenson who he supposedly has a rivalry with.
Kovalev has talked worse than this, including about Stevenson. He doesn't hesitate to talk sh*t when he's angry at another fighter.
Even then, I wouldn't say he was 'gassed' so much as he was getting tired and took his foot off the petal thinking that things were well in hand (as it seemed to everybody who had eyes and who wasn't a hard core Ward fan). I think there's a bigger chance of Kov gassing hard in the second fight if he comes out like a monster and gets taken into deep waters. With that being said, I think Kov will bomb Ward out of there by the end of the 7th at the latest. He bothered Ward with a lot of the shots he landed, and he's not going to want to leave any doubt. I don't think there's going to be much feeling out of Ward this time, so it will be straight into the cooker for Ward.
:lol1: :lol1: I like that wording.
yeah he should of won.but judges wanted more money for vegas so we get the rematch later.no rematch if kovalev would of won.
save that nonsense. theres nobody else to fight at 175 for either of them. they make the most money with each other. had kovalev won he would've gave ward a rematch too.
I don't think Krusher's playing. He has always come across as a pretty mean and angry guy, especially towards someone he feels a grudge towards.
i think so too. remeber the pascal rematch (or it was the first fight) when pascal gave him bananas or something saying he was a racist. also he said something like he is lucky that the referee stopped the first fight because bad things happen in the ring (from a guy who caused the death of an opponent before)
Not really. Kovalev arguably won.

How is he going to "adjust"? His success in the first fight only came when Kov ran out of gas.

The :afro: afro centrics are at it again showing their hypocrisy. When Floyd talked shit to build up a fight it got called what it is... helping to build the fight. KOvalev does it and Ward's "in his head." :rofl:

Kov seems to be playing the Russian badass. He's like a poor mans Nikita koloff. He needs to do this to make people want to tune in.
Ward is in his head though. He kept harping on the "retirement " and popped a lot of isht.
If it helps sell the ppv keep doing it.

I don't think anyone is getting into anyone's head or ever does. They're selling a fight.
Dunno how you guys think 2 men in their 30s who have been doing this for a living since they were kids still care about their opponent calling them a butthead. It's just selling.
Funny how you can tell a guy you want to fuq him in the ring and people get excited, but imagine if he told him he wanted to do it anyplace else...... :D
