Comments Thread For: Kovalev: Chilemba Was Very Important in Preparing For Ward

[therealpugilist]

Ward isn't a puncher either.

This is gonna be the most Kov will have been hit

most of the guys he fights doesnt have power..........also none of them have the accuracy or speed of Ward

it doesnt matter how hard you hit as much as it does that you land shots at the right spot, time, and place.

you can have all the power in the world but if you dont land enough, you wont gain your opponents respect

thats why guys like Hopkins, Whitaker, PERNELL, and floyd could disarm punchers....they knew how to take away their power and earn their respect by being hard to hit and accurate.

power is a plus but its not the only way to gain respect

nothing is more frustrating than missing shots, and your opponent landing.

Why are you pulling for Kovalev?

Russians aren't pulling for Ward.

I'm not pulling for Kovalev. I just want a good fight.

Tough fights are good for fighters. Gives them something to work on. You know for sure that Kovalev is going to spend his training camp working on all those flaws and come into the Ward fight at his best.

Sounds like you're assuming Kovalev can't box. He'll surprise Ward as much as Ward surprises him... maybe even moreso. This is going to be a very tough fight for both guys.

Great humble statement !
That occurs some bad omen for US megalomania.

Russian Kovalev will crush BlackIrish Ward. (who begin to show some kind of humbleness toward Kovalev)

That will open a new area for boxing : Ivan Baranchyk, Artur Beterbiev, Sergey Kovalev, Dejan Zlaticanin, Eduard Troyanovsky, Vasyl Lomachenko, Oleksandr Usyk, GGG, Denis Lebedev, Grigory Drozd, Vyacheslav Shabranskyy, Oleksandr Gvozdyk, Sergiy Derevyanchenko, Krzysztof Głowacki and who knows Klitschko return....

IN THE FUTURE MORE WILL COME AND SHOW to USA WHAT EASTERN EUROPEAN ARE MADE OF !!!

Eastern Europe can't show the US anything...they are an old dying population.

im not assuming he cant box....he showed he has good skills....he just hasnt encountered someone as well schooled, naturally talented or can adapt on the fly like ward

Kov is one of my fav active fighters but they all have flaws. Ward doesnt shoot his right hand from the shoulder most times and also he tries to counter straight rights with left hooks, if it isnt timed right, he'll get clipped or dropped.

I just think Ward will deal with the style match up better and adapt sooner. Also I just dont see Kov winning enough rounds for a decision and will have to ko ward in order to win

I just dont see it as a 50/50 fight...I respect Kov a lot.

to **** in order to produce child is not in itself a proof of leadership for the humanity because animals can also do that with far better efficiency.

It's only a way to rely human to animal... Human is cerebral animal is physical...

Kov.. Has never fought anyone that wasn't scared of him though.. Everyone u named was scared before they touched the ring.. Ward not scared.. Just like Holyfield told Tyson"I'm not scared of ya Mike" bet tha house on ward!!!!
