Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Coach: Ward's Lack of Power Will Be Biggest Drawback

[aboutfkntime]

Do you actually believe the garbage you post on here or do you just post for shock value?

the ****tiest alt's have been pouring out of the woodwork since about May

[aboutfkntime]

....and Ward landed 225 total punches to Kessler's 125 AND Ward landed 132 power punches to Kessler's 47. Very hard to clinch and punch at the same time.

Both Rodriguez and Ward were deducted points in that fight.

The whole story.

[aboutfkntime]

I don't know but I do know that having 3 points deducted in a 30 fight professional career......isn't really worth talking about.

the casuals are having a good ol cry-a-thon today

Don't think power is gonna matter at all. If Ward is strong enough to fight in a clinch/inside like he did @ SMW, that's all he'll needs in the strength/power department.

I think the actual factors will be completely different.

Can Kovalev fight inside or dictate his own tempo?
Can Kovalev land a few flush shots.. and if yes --
Can Ward's chin hold up against legit LHW power?

Even Floyd, who's a better defensive fighter than Ward, absorbed some flush shots. If Kovalev lands a few shots that Pac and Maidana landed on Floyd, can Ward's chin hold up?

If you compare Kovalev to Maidana you make a big mistake.

How so?

If B-Hop and Chilemba can last 12 rounds so can Ward...

Why's that? Chilemba has a concrete beard and Hoppy has a better resume than Andre 'The tune up' Ward.

He's getting knocked out, IF he doesn't deliberately make negotiations so difficult the fight doesn't get made, which is an actual real possibility.

[MDPopescu]

How so?

Watch the B-Hop fight again.

Watch the B-Hop fight again.

I don't know what you're trying to say - can you clarify?
I'm not gonna go and spend an hour of time rewatching a fight.

Mark my words. If Kovalev uses his power jab to the stomach from the first round, Wards in big trouble. Ward beats him if he uses any other strategy.

[Raggamuffin]

I wonder how many times we have to repeat this friend? Scribes are constantly after him for interviews. What's he to say? "Oh I doubt my guy Kov beats Ward, but hey we gotta do this fight, so..."



Exactly. Glad to see a few fans bring up this reality... although I think Ward's better than some think he is. But no worries, we'll find out soon enough. I just hope like he!! it isn't some lame ref allowing a Ward hug n' headbutt fest all night long.



Yep



So, friend, you're ok with dirty fighters?



Ward takes punches every fight. Especially uppercuts and other counters. He'll definitely get a wakeup call soon enough vs Kov.



I just hope Ward gets a wakeup call and gets deducted points for that b.s. If you can't win a fight fair and square, IMO you haven't won the fight. I don't care what the official results say.

Nobody cares what a trainer has to say before the fight. Maybe we might listen to him afterwards or if they're doing a special.
A fight is a fight. You don't fight professionally so stop trying justify what you think fighting is. Ward may get a wake up call, or he might win. All you can do is hope who wins like everyone else.
