Comments Thread For: "Fighting Words" - Kovalev-Pascal 2: Over Before It Began

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

by David P. Greisman - Nearly every sporting event has a favorite expected to win and an underdog likely to lose. There are no guarantees, of course, because otherwise there would be no suspense and no upsets - no tiny Chaminade beating the touted ******ia men's college basketball team, no Buster Douglas ending Mike Tyson's reign as heavyweight champion.

Only Andre Ward has the answer for Krusher. Duck him.

Andre Ward will dismantle the clumsy Kovalev-easy win

Bearcat thinks Ward will toy with Kovalev and make the commie look so ****** in the ring. Now Kovalev will be swinging away but Ward has the superior boxing skills. Look for Ward to win going away as a befuddled Kovalev tires out and looks slow and clumsy missing badly and mentally gets broken down. let freedom ring.

Blah,blah, blah. Please tell us something we didn't know already.
Maybe you could write about why the ranking system is so bad and why legitimate contenders don't get title shots. We realize boxing's always been this way but that doesn't mean it can't change.
If writers weren't fan boys helping to sell bs fights it might help.

Wards best win is against Carl Froch a guy who's no where near Kovalev power or skills theres a reason Ward makes fights at 172 . I think Ward will duck Kovalev he will try to do the same as Mayweather did with Pacquaio wait 5 years so Kovalev ages.

Pitty pat CoWard will never get in the ring with Kovalev. He is shining on HBO to get a free 3 fight deal. Ward is an occult establishment **** like floyd and berto and yusuf mack. Probably sucking JayZ **** right now in the lodge. The only chance in hell coWard has garner a "victory" is to run for his life and buy 2 judges a la floyd.

This fight was a bad idea from the start.

Early body work difference

Kovalev was more committed to bodywork in this fight which is why Pascal was out of gas so early. More body less head in this fight so it ended earlier. Pascal isn't shot he just took hellacious shots to the body by a vicious puncher that ends anybody's night early. Pascal needs to work on his defense which is horrible. Couldn't dodge Kovalev double jab right hand combo all night.

Kovalev is the Senator Barrack ***** of boxing. Everybody wants change in boxing. They want a white guy for a change. Yes they can. The problem is that he hasn't done anything yet. Andre Ward is different pedigree. He is an Olympian. Not to mention that he is too fast, and too crafty for Kovalev. He looks like a guy who has been boxing for a thousand years; he can fight inside or outside, he can fight dirty or clean, and he can do it all very calmly--very aloof, like he could take a nap in the ring. James Tony is the only guy that I can think of that was more relaxed in the ring. Ward will make Kovalev look and feel naive on his way to a UD.

This happens every time there is a white guy that can hit hard. They call him fighter of the year and act as though there is no point in anyone fighting in that guys weight class until that guy passes away because he can't be stopped. How could he, after what he did to the likes of Karen Avetisyan and Michael Birthmark. Better watch out!
A sane person's best bet is to nod their heads politely and put all their money on Ward.
