You can't hit what you can't see.
Ward Clowns Kovalev. Kovalev is too slow

I was just about to say this: Kovalev is not slow by any stretch. In fact, he's one of the faster guys in the LHW division. His punching power must overshadow this. But there's a reason the punches are hitting their mark so often, and its not just brute strength.Comment

Nonsense! Kovalev's speed is nothing special. In fact, it is very average. He has skills and good ring IQ and timing, he certainly is no speed demon though.
He is very slow compared to Ward. Pascal has **** defense and Hopkins, apart from being a granpa, has never been known for his speed either.
Just coz he tagged those two doesn't mean he will tag Ward whatsoever. Pascal is the same guy who was beat by slow ass Carl Froch.
You can praising a good fighter and hopping on his ****, in which case, you would fall under the latter category for hyping Kovalev's non-existent speed.
He's not slow, but he's not fast either, just normal. He does however have great power, skill, and ring IQ.Comment

Kovalev can throw fast but he's not a quick thinker. That will be very apparent when Ward starts to counter him. Notice how Kovalev throws and resets immediately? Andre is constantly thinking, measuring, responding. Kovalev's not been challenged by anyone dangerous and when he gets in deep with Ward, he's going to get frustrated.Comment

Ward is faster I agree, but the disparity is nothing great.Last edited by Hype job; 03-27-2016, 03:48 AM.Comment

Wasn't this what people suggested with Hopkins? Suggesting Kovalev doesn't have great ring IQ is a misconception.Kovalev can throw fast but he's not a quick thinker.
