    fuuny thing is i remember people counting Danny Garcia out the same way leading up to the Lucas fight. It was a lot of, "he's ducking", :"hes gonna get destroyed" etc. I kept calling it a 50/50 fight. And that was Danny frikkin Garcia. I perrsonally think Kovalev is a lot better than Lucas but around here, people fall in love with power. Its real easy to I guess. But counting Andre Ward out in this fight is silly to me. He's clearly one of the best fighters of this generation and we haven't even seen him really struggle before.

      ... Points (that's also why we are gathering them)... In my view it's too childish to bet on images...

          Yes because they have to process the post fight drug tests. Once all testing has been completed, they will post their results.

          It's too bad that inbred haters can't just admit their ignorance regarding the sport. You said Ward doesn't get tested and avoids VADA. I provided a link from the VADA website proving Ward (and Barrera) were tested by VADA for this fight. Instead of admitting you're wrong, you continue spouting off like a clueless f*ggot.

            he said I said i dotn want rust to be an issue, butttt even though I had only 1 fight last yead and naother fight 2 years ago cause of my own choice, i was rusty, no i dont plan to delay the fight I gotta talk to my handles lmfao.


            dude is a coward.
            Half the posters on here who are so confident that Ward "schools" Killa Kov with ease, go on to say after one or two more tuneups........blah, blah, blah. If you thought he would easily school Killa Kov, Ward could do it next month, not after a few more tuneups, not in 2017.

              lmao ok tough guy, i'm sorry to get you so mad and emotional. if you comprehended my first post, I was referring to the previous fights. good for him for FINALLY doing it. man you're so mad lmao

              but again the "proof" just says "welcome" lol, when the results shows "completed", good for him.

                it's like they saw something they didn't like last night, something that tells them that kovalev will be too much and they are hoping is something that has to do with inactivity, they are trying to convince themselves that it's just ring rust. but maybe ward isn't all that, just good or maybe kovalev is all that and they are trying to delay the inevitable

                  i think ward prolly know's at 175 he isn't as fast and athletic or can grab and hold like he did at 168, so if he can get paid good bread for fighting a #23 guy, he prolly wants to milk 2 more fights to get those payments lol, good business guy i guess

                    Tonight he was testing his power , chin, stamina . He slips looked slow , his athleticism looked lessened. He tired somewhat vs a guy who fought his pace.

                    I think he knows deep down he cant beat
                    Kovalev.

                    Kovalev should want the fight in NY
                    No later than november.

                    JDJ imo will have a great gameplan.

                    Kovalevs power , straight punches and reach will help stop ward inside of 8 rounds

                    Thoughts
                    Where have i heard all this before??
