Was she answering a question in regard to how Kovalev said he wasn't sure he could beat Ward? Sounds like what she was talking about. Personally, I think people read too much into that. Seemed like he was showing humility, not doubting himself.

Lennox Lewis??? Steve Kim not sure how you became the news editor.

I was wondering what the hell Lennox had to do with this but assumed I was just unaware.

coWard still using Krusher to promote his Meaningless Turd Joust against the guy who will be selling peanuts in the crowd during the undercard. The only people who say coWard will fight Krusher are only trying to avoid being labeled a racist or race traitor. Real Boxing fans know that coWard has zero intentions of getting beat down by Krusher, he will just price himself out and go after some other part time boxer that's serving sandwiches right now in the K-Mart subway shop before his afternoon training session.

I'm so amped for this fight. After 5-6yrs of Floyd and Manny's bull****. And with all the bull**** these clowns Canelo and GGG have been doing. This is refreshing. A legitimate, bonafinde superfight. And its a straight up 50/50 pick em fight. I can't wait.

Let's go!!! I hope we see the best @ 175 fighting each other this year and next. There's a lot of talent, both ****ers and boxers! If Ward could do to 175 what he did to 168, he'll become a legend!!!

I have Ward winning by decision......

I think Kovalev will find it very difficult to find Ward on fight night. Pascal was able to land quite a bit and the real issue was Pascal poor defense. Ward has great defense and a way better offensive arsenal. I'm picking Ward. I am curious what the odd makers will have for this fight.

That about Lewis was in quotes. Quotes mean Duva said it.
I hope the fight happens but I'm afraid what goldenbear said
might be true... Kovalev won't be able to find Ward on fight night.
And neither will anyone else. As far as the actual fight, Kovalev
handled b-hop's dirty tactics easily, I doubt Ward has a chance
but it will at least not be a clinch fest hold and hit type fight.
Sort of like when Klitschko wasn't tall enough to do it to Fury and
found he couldn't do any of his usual pushing the head down, holding
and hitting.

Didn't you watch Barerra vs Ward? If so what was your assessment? Also, why would Ward disappear from a fight he asked for? Not sure what the basis of your fear of him not showing up is.
