Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Trainer Questions Andre Ward's Chin: Expects KO!

And Boone didn't drop Kovalev in their first fight.

Yea, he did.

Andre Ward will make Kovalev look clumsy and lead footed slow

Kovalev will look ****** and slow chasing Andre around the ring. Kovalev will look a caveman with a club chasing Ward as fresh meat. Andre outboxes the slow Kovie and wins a decision as the crowd boos ands Ward ambles away with the win. It will be a Kovie learning experience for the commie.

No he didn't. Boxrec record knockdowns in fights and there is no record of any in Kovalev/Boone-1

Not just that Ward was dropped, it's that he was badly hurt and needed the bell to get him out of trouble. There are knockdowns where the guy gets up and ain't really hurt then there is the Ward - Boone type of knockdown. I'd put a question mark on Ward's chin.

Power is good to have but skills pay bills.

Take away Kov's power and what are you left with??

Boy, are you high or something? It is like saying take away Ward skill and what are you left with? Lovable persona maybe?

Kovalev just needs to be in great shape
And spar lots of rounds in training camp.

Have his strength on point and stay focused.

Kovalev has great straight punches .
Natural power. Rely on technique and wear ward down.

Ward is gonna have a lot of wasted movement. The goal for kovalev is just get started fast, dont feel ward out ,dont allow ward time to think and rest ,make him fight. Cut the ring off and let your hands go.

Basics will beat ward

And Boone dropped Ward in Ward's 7th professional fight, that's not the same Ward that Kovalev will be facing. It's interesting that John David fails to mention that Boone actually KO'd Adonis Stevenson and fought his fighter, Sergy Kovalev, twice. Losing the first bout in a SD and losing the 2nd by KO.

John David also fails to realize that the Ward Knock down by Boone was at 160. Second he forgets Boone dropped Kovalev at 175, and third Boone KO'd Stevenson.

Kovalev's chin isn't anything to brag about either..He was dropped hard in full headgear and was put down by light puncher Camparillo.

Ward has the better defense.

That's what I'm saying, everyone acts as if Kovalev has a cast iron chin or something!

[r1onnie2]

The same Boone that dropped krusher? Obviously Boone can **** he dropped your guy too, not to mention krusher been down after that so both guys China are questionable but let's face it he might not have the power but he gain respect from other fighters that they not rushing in or walking through his punches to get to him

Exactly, John David acts as if Boone only dropped Ward which was at 160. He also dropped Kovalev and KO'd Stevenson. The same thing I use to say about Mayweather I say about Ward. He may not hit the hardest but must have enough pop because people damn sure don't rush in.
