you wanna play that game?



and hell Boone dropped Kovalev to....

You digging in the archives there Lar?

The only advantages that Kovalev has over Ward are height and likely power; everything else, Ward is clearly better than Kovalev. You add that Kovalev fights like **** on the inside, and the plan is pretty clear.

Vary the jab and keep it busy, use superior footwork to set up that lead hook (a la Floyd and Diego), and batter the **** out of Kovalev on the inside.

Kovalev got shaken up and dropped by an out of shape Boone and hurt much worse throughout. He went life and death with Boone. Ward thrashed hin aferwards. Also Kovalev went life and death with Pascal and was saved by the ref.

Fact check: It was Ward who was decked by Darnell Boone, not Kovalev.

Hell no, that other clown got it wrong Larry. Boone decked Ward, NOT Kovalev.

Who is that guy being decked in the video you posted, btw?

And what relevance does that have to Ward and Krusher?

Yep, if anyone is curious watch Kovalev vs Boone 2, significant improvement on Kov's part. He absolutely dismantled him.

Ward can't fight on the outside against Kov, he doesn't have power to keep Kov off.. and honestly, I have doubts he'll be able to clinch his way through

No, that video he posted was put up on YT by someone claiming it proved that Kovalev had been KO'd as an amateur.

It doesn't prove that at all.

Kovalev was beaten by Atoev, no dispute about that. But was he KO'd? And is that that actually him in the vid?

Maybe, maybe not. Like I said, it doesn't prove anything.

As a Ward fan, I think Kovalev is a really bad style matchup for him and I'd be surprised if he won honestly. I think he handles GGG with ease but Kovalev is another animal.

Likely? You ****in serious? If there's one glaring thing that Kovalev has over Ward it is definitely power. I'm not taking anything away from Ward, he's a fantastic boxer. But don't be ****** and leave any room for comparison about their power.

I'm not a Ward fan but I can't resist saying Ward's game plan is to never fight Kovalev. If I am wrong I apologize to Ward but I think time will prove me right. 2 or 3 three years from now Ward fans will still be talking about Ward destroying Kovalev and GGG. Ward will still be fighting mediocre boxers.
