    if ward does his 'head control' on kovalev, kovalev will respond with his own version, e.g knocking wards head off

      WTF? Do you even know what that terms means? Never mind, you don't and are unwilling to learn.

      When a fan just wants to watch big punchers because that's all they can understand, that's fine. But, don't start talking shyt about a guy like Ward not being slick because you clearly can't hang in that convo.

        ive watched ward fight enough times to know his style, dont need some youtube guru telling me whats what. Hes an inside spoiler, dirty tactics a lot of the time, effective at what he does. DO know what it means, not some legal tactic is it to push someones head with the glove

          I have Ward as favorite but Kovalev brings a lot more to the table than Postol

            Just cos 2 guys are black doesn't mean they fight the same. Ward is a lot slower on his feet and a lot stronger on the inside, plus he holds a lot more and is very adept at using his head and elbow. Ward will win in a much more physical and ugly fight.

              I would be even more surprised than I was by Crawford/Postol. Mainly because Kovalev has that vicious streak that would never accept getting outboxed and humiliated round after round like Postol accepted it. Kovalev will get ugly and try to force the fight in ways Postol did not.

              Also, Kovalev is used to being the aggressor, where Postol is used to being the boxer.

                Ward is very slick and very versatile. He does a hell of a lot more than fight dirty and spoil on the inside. When even is the last time he clinched and spoiled a fight inside? Green or Bika?

                  no, but i think kov will have periods of trigger shyness like postol had just bc ward will definitively counter his right making him scared to pull it.

                    lol these ****ing americans are so funny, I love seeing your hate. Postol always been a bum, but admit that Kovalev will mop the floor with all light heavyweights now except for Ward

                      Ward doesn't move around like Crawford, he feels more comfortable controlling the action from up close even though he'll move a little from time to time. On top of that, Kovalev ain't afraid to get dirty, Postol was afraid to take chances and waited until the last round to try and make things happen.

                      Just no, it never crossed me.
