Prime Ward vs. Kovalev

Ward looked better the second time because he had Kovalev completely figured out by then, not because he suddenly returned to his prime. Completely, 100% disagree, and there are dozens of posters who back me up. During Ward-Kov2, the RBR thread was full of posters saying that Ward looks in much better shape and is significantly faster than in the first fight. The difference was night and day. Even his physique in the 2nd fight was visibly better. Ward was shredded in the 2nd fight.

USA, of course. Where else? I would love if they fought in Russia, though. Then I won't have to stay up all night waiting for the fight. In Russia, Sergey Kovalev wins either by stoppage or via Ward getting disqualified due to excessive fouling. In USA, Andre Ward would win if he's allowed to use his typical fouls that he employed in both bouts. Sergey Kovalev hasn't shown to be able to adjust to such fouls.

kovalev was never the same after killing roman simikov. prime kovalev literally kills prime ward. its a shame the past it kovalev dominated ward and got robbed and then ward ran away into retirment with another win after low blowing him over and over. I'm a ward fan, I want to see, p4p how that fantasy war plays out!

Kovalev won the first fight to me, he made ward very uncomfortable with his jab and right hand feints, especially when he set him up for the right hand and the knockdown happened. That fight was some very high quality stuff from Both fighters. In the 2nd fight ward didn't show that same hesitation anymore and it seemed he had Kovalev finally figured out after already spending 12 rounds with him. Bad stoppage from Weeks, but good performance from Ward and Kovalev still Showed some high level boxing skills even though he didn't have the determination that Ward had... he still wasn't completely schooled.

Actually Ward from 2nd fight was pretty damn close to prime Ward. He was in terrific shape, and everything he did great years before were on display again. Ward looked better the second time because he had Kovalev completely figured out by then, not because he suddenly returned to his prime.

You are an idiot. And I see why you are Red K. And I am racist for having a latino, and a black man in my sig. lol.... your roman post was legit good but you got a thing there that say "history prefers legends" and then have a "war andrade" witha pic of boo boo....lol...im from the same tiny state as boo boo...nobody pulling for him more....but he far from a legend or anything to get excited for.....guy is doing basically nothing and didnt even look good against culcay ....hey man keep holding out hope though

Bro SHUT THE **** UP about racism. People not liking Ward is not because of racism, he's half-white-black, people dislike Ward because he is boring and a cheater that gets away with everything. Is it racism that white, asian, mexican people are praising Spence, Crawford, Porter? And look at their similarities to why they are well liked "they entertain" Get that racism talk out of here. Dude, if you saw Kovalev beating Ward, there are only 6 options. 1 - You're racist. 2 - You don't understand/appreciate the technical aspects of boxing. 3 - You're biased for one reason or another. Maybe you like Russia or got Russian citizenship or a Russian girlfriend or whatever. 4 - You're a massive Kovalev fan. 5 - You're a massive Ward hater. 6 - You were too hopeful when watching the fight, so you underrated everything Ward did. Watch it again.

fact of the matter is most thought he lost the 1st fight and the 2nd fight was ended with illegal shots, blatantly illegal shots. Seem to be a lot of psychics on this site 'ward was going to stop him anyway' oh yeah cause theres never been a fighter in the history of the sport who recovered from being wobbled lol. Might aswell just end every fight once someones stunned 'its over, he would lose anyway'. It doesn't matter what "most" think, as most people are biased. What matters is what happened. It's obvious who won. You don't like Ward, that's fair, but he won the fight and a single knockdown doesn't change the fact that he won the vast majority of rounds. Most people used to think the world was flat, bro.

This is sad some people just can't let racism out there system but if someone call u racist u will swear people playing a race card for no reason I feel sad for u the fights over move on

So if kov wins in the now does that mean that buvel and all these guys now are nothing

We already saw that fight 2 times

Now, Kovalev got the past-it Ward who had seemed pretty ringrusty since his return. Obviously, the Ward that Kovalev fought was nowhere near the Ward who tore the Super Six tournament apart years ago. Still, Ward spanked Kovalev twice and pretty much exposed him... What if Kovalev had fought prime Ward? Back when Ward was almost unhitable and had a much higher workrate? I think it would have been an absolute shutout, possibly even a stoppage due to the massive difference between them. TBH, I'm not even sure Kovalev would be able to beat the Froch and Kessler that prime Ward defeated. He's probably around their level. I guess why I know now why your rep is red. really, a very biased and stupid post. Kovalev won the first fight and was tied in the second one and Ward resorted to low blows....

Boxing fans are so stupid and don't think...people trash talk Ward and say he's overrated but had Kovalev beat him I could use that against you. People really don't think at all. If you say a fighter is trash, and your fighter beats him, don't be mad if we don't give him credit. Based on your words.

Do you really believe that? The rematch must have tore you apart. I saw a close first fight followed by a conclusive stoppage in the rematch. The straight right hand finished Kovalev, he already wanted out before the low blows. Can't believe I'm still posting about these fights. Happy New year.

Dude, Ward won, two times, he would have won a third and fourth time too. Lightning doesn't strike twice. If Ward and Kovalev fought again, then what? What will your excuse be next time? Kovalev had been active ever since the Simakov fight and he really tried to hurt Pascal, besides scoring one knockout after another. Kovalev is not affected by Simakov's death, at least not regarding his fighting style, and he doesn't give a bigger **** about his opponents security more now than before that fight. If anything, he has gotten more aggressive.

In USA, Russia or a neutral territory? Location of battle matters these days! USA, of course. Where else? I would love if they fought in Russia, though. Then I won't have to stay up all night waiting for the fight.
