I totally agree. He was slow, being thoroughly outboxed, has poor defence, flat footed, no head movement and completely gassed after 5 rounds. He was lucky to win that fight with WK and he could have easily have lost. I can see him being totally outboxed by Fury and caught by a Wilder bomb. All these Ali comparisons are ridiculous, he's nowhere near as skilled. Throughout the fight he was hitting and holding, rabbit punching and that uppercut came after Wlad had his head held down.
Completely agree with you.
Only way I can see Kovalev winning is throwing off Ward's timing and landing something powerful on the chin. The knockdown punch in the first fight really wasn't flush and on the chin.:boxing:
Wont give Kov his rematch, boy knows he got lucky with the judges last time. Why don't you hurry up and retire ffs
Completely disagree! Apparently negotiations for the rematch are underway and a close fight going a certain fighters way is Not a robbery.
Personally had Ward winning, after about round five Kovalev totally forgot about going to the body and trying to box. Ward however boxed very well and got some great work off inside the pocket
He's a great fighter and a future Hall Of Famer, give the man a break.
