Kovalev's skills

[kafkod]

Rumor has it his camp for chilemba was so so. He was distracted by being russia before the fight and he was visiting with friends and family often. He wasnt in the beat shape and he wasnt his hungriest.

For ward I expect the beat kovalev we ever seen. Sharpe , powerful, focused , hungry and strong.

His straight punches are the best in the game and he very subtle about certain things he does.

His power is so natural. He has a good stance along with a good understanding of what it takes to win. He has a good coach that will have a great gameplan.

I dont think he has any doubt or fear of ward.

Kovalev's performance against Chilemba was actually pretty good. Nobody has ever floored Isaac or beaten him clearly before. Chilemba's losses to Bellew and Alvarez were both very close and could have gone either way.

He can still headbutt if he feels without answers. He can be dirty. Has Kovalev ever fought dirty?

how many head clashes were in the brand fight?

how many in the Barrera fight?


not many at all nor clinches....sit your simple azz down somewhere

Guys with high caliber skills got something called a defense, bro. And they don't trip over their own legs. Kovalev got skills, but very limited ones, not ones worth mentioning for this fight. Kovalev is just not good enough, simple as that.

I'm not going to argue with you over something so obvious. He has skills and that's not even debatable. As I said, he also has weaknesses that can be exploited, but you don't get to his level without a high skill set.

His physical attributes plays a bigger factor than his skills, sadly.

Lol. You had no idea either.

As for Hopkins-Kovalev, I was not a member of the site at that time.

Lucky guess on a 50/50 fight proves nothing. And your comments on Kovalev prove that NOTHING is what you know about boxing.

Kovalev has serious issues with balance and squaring up, but otherwise he has a very solid set of skills. Good with distance, good jab, good combinations, good counter-punching. He relies too much on retreating backwards to avoid shots but his defense is far from bad.

The man is dangerous for many reasons besides power.

Dude, it's not about getting it right on a 50/50 fight. It's about predicting the exact outcome and how the fight would play out. Check the comments in the thread, if you doubt it.

And what's more, it's not just this fight. My predictions are correct all the time. Just like this one will be when Ward spanks Kovalev. Our posting history is documented here, y'know?

Ward will secure me yet another correct prediction on my unstopable winning streak and more haters like you will pop up to say "you just got lucky!". Will I still be lucky when I have predicted 10 "50-50" fights, without ever being wrong? Ward-Kovalev may seem 50-50 to casuals, but not to experts. More like 90-10. Their skills are worlds apart.

1) If there is an IF in the statement, then pay attention to it.
2) Has Kovalev ever fought dirty?
