Kovalev has more casual appeal in the States than Ward.

No he doesn't.

I think you need to re-read the whole article.

I think you need to re-read the whole article.

no lost disinterest when right away he didnt call kovalev a duck for backing out of the purse bid..bc rest assure if they could blast stevenson right away they would within the first 2 paragraphs and i've seen it.

u want a knowledgeable person's attention you have to play it fair and get right down to it if that is the standard you have set even...

stevenson articles seem to right away go to when he signed with haymon and left hbo...but kovalev gets breaks like "by way of virtue and until time says so they blah blah blah"....NO F ALL THAT...call it like it is that russian hooker ducked he purse bid bc his pimp kathy said so..

Hard to sell? I see landslide business with a decent undercard. Canelo vs Smith is hard to sell.

I agree 100%, even casual boxing fans know who Ward and Kovalev are!

No he doesn't.

Yup he does. American boxing fans are fond of the Krusher and they think Ward is boring.

For many fight fans, most would prefer to see Kovalev or someone who fights like Mike Tyson in his prime, but for fans who appreciate the sweet science and skill, they'd prefer Mayweather and Ward. If most people were pro boxers, the best option would probably be to fight like a Ward or Floyd, hit and don't get hit, the name of the game. Of course, they should try to be entertaining here n there, but I'd say, get in the ring, win, and get out with your health intact.

No he doesn't.

He he does. In the states Kovaleve is more popular than Ward I bet right now.

I live and am from the bay area, Ward isn't that big of a deal, even here.

Kovalev has an exciting style, and a good fighters personality, he can probably draw anywhere, some fighters are just like that. Has nothing to do with who you think the better fighter might be.

Great fight but ain't nobody checking for this outside of boxing fans. This will flop in a major way.
