Comments Thread For: Bradley Could See Andre Ward Doing a Crawford-Job on Kovalev
Former two division world champion Timothy Bradley is not only backing Andre Ward to beat Sergey Kovalev - he expects the Olympic gold medalist to do it in style.
No idea what he means by a "crawford" job because to ME. He hasn't fought someone who's as a complete fighter as he is. kovalev is a COMPLETE fighter when he's 100% focused. Did any one else see the video of brand sparring the other day & he gets knocked down by a right cross against Shabransky??? Andre couldn't do that ONCE. He has zero for kovalev. I think kovalev beats him in 10 rounds if he's got Dre shook. You can't adjust to power shots when they are landing.

Over 12 rounds: Hit and not get hit/Sweet Science/Boxing lesson.
After the fight: tons of threads on here talking about how Ward ran all night.
The one difference here is that in my opinion Kov isn't afraid to engage, nor is he terrible at cutting off the ring. He doesn't rely on a jab only and he knows how to evade punches thrown at him. If Ward tries that nonsense he'll end up schooled as bad as Hopkins was.
I don't see Crawford/Postol here, not at all. I do see some slick boxing from SOG, but I also see him taking at least some risks here and there.
Former two division champion Timothy Bradley is picking WBA/IBF light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins, 49-years-old, to continue his incredible career forw
I don't think Kovalev is going to get embarrassed the Way Postal did. Ward doesn't have the legs to move like that for 12 rounds and Kovalev is not gonna get confused and look terrible loading up on just one shot all night. Ward could win easily but I expect a hell of a fight.
