Comments Thread For: Rodriguez: Ward Has The Style To Beat Kovalev and Golovkin

[imperial1]

Kovalev is the only one that would trouble Ward GGG hasn't been tested yet so I don't know why he keeps coming up

Well, here's the thing. I think Ward's smart enough to get away with most of the crap he pulls without getting penalized too harshly no matter where he is. If the fight is outside of Oakland and the referee is your average normal ref, Ward will fight very dirty and get a point deducted. Maybe 2. The question becomes how Golovkin handles it - if he gets flummoxed or starts complaining to the ref, he'll lose the composure and the fight. If he stays calm or better yet, returns the dirt back to Ward, I think he wins.

yes he is smart enough. he just doesn't fight outside his comfort zone. for example having the super six setup in his favor, turning down fights in other places, turning down fights where he was the b-side. this is all calculated. when you have wards style you can't take a chance that your cheating tactics will be removed from you because he relies on it so heavily.

Edwin Rodriguez did not spend too long in the ring last year, but he was content with two stoppage victories, both of which were crowd-pleasers. In particular, his shoot-out with Michael Seals last November in which he tasted the canvas for the first time, showed his determination to bounce back and stop a previously unbeaten opponent.

The fighters/trainers know whats up.

Ward would negate their power with his style, like most have been saying.

Tom Loeffler, HBO, and the K2 matchmakers..... were correct in avoiding Andre Ward, and I don't really have a problem with it, because I understand why.

It is the lies that I have a problem with, particularly from Sanchez, because as Ward stated, casual fans are gullible and they lap that **** up.

Knowledgeable insiders know what Ward would have done to Golovkin, and he will be the favorite against Kovalev as well.

GGG I can believe but Kovalev im not so sure. Kovalev style I believe will be difficult for Ward. One thing I do enjoy so much about the way Kovalev fights is he doesn't have throw away punchs, he is extremely patient and although simple his attack is well planned.

Ward wouldn't have as much issue with GGG, just based off the fact Ward would have all the physical advantages... While Golovkin would maybe have more speed,power but not strength,size, or reach. A tough fight but a fight Ward could win easily. Kovalev on the other hand would be a war!

Neither of those fights will be a war.

They will both be a boxing match, because of Ward's style.

JUST like how May/Pac was always going to be a boxing match.

Golovkin AND Kovalev will need to have more skill than Ward, they will have to beat him in a boxing match, no question.

He will not fight to their strengths, because he doesn't need to.

And yep, Ward has more than enough "power" to keep Kovalev honest.

I think he loses to both at this point die to a lack of motivation. But both fights could go either way. The skills between these three are off the charts.

I have seen nothing whatsoever to indicate that, not a thing.

Ummm, Ward has proven that his skills are "off the charts", many times.

I don't see that same level of skill from Golovkin, nor from Kovalev.

Both are excellent, but even Canelo looks more skilled than Golovkin, and Kovalev used a very basic-but-effective gameplan against old-man Hopkins.

Thats how I see it, I don't even think Golovkin would be that competitive.

Ward beats him easy on the outside, and he beats him up on the inside.

But Kovalev is a different animal, Ward will need to stay on point.

Golovkin is very accurate and places his punches well but he isn't near as fast as Ward with his hands and feet

^^^^^^^that's why the Golovtards are relieved the fight was never made and are depending on Kov to rid them of the man they Call Andre Bored....translation...we don't think GGG can defeat Ward
