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

[torosboxing75]

Kovalev can't be faster as he carries so much power with his punches.

Who said he was faster?

[RussB23]

Ward isnt a power puncher but hes capable of hurting ward with a shot he doesnt see coming.

[Brickyardigan]

he clinched kessler 88 times and headbutted him 5 times. he was deducted points for fouling rodriguez

Yeah? Fact of the matter is Kessler skillwise and every other intangible quality wise can't compete against Ward so quit the bs.

You acting like Kessler had a semblance of a chance to win on boxing skill, intelligence, and power. Ward beats him in all catergories. When Ward is fouled like he was by many fighters, he doesnt wait or complain to the public or ref. He takes care of his own problems.

Its the one you dont see that takes you out , its not always raw power often its accuracy and sneaky sharp that puts them on ***** street , Ward is very capable of stopping Kov with that kinda shot and what follows it .

Ward is very efficient and slippery gee he boxes a tight game I think Ward will give Sergy a boxing lesson by moving , using angles and picking him apart , he could stop him but I dont think he will , and we all know Kov can take Andre out with one shot ,,,,,,,if he can land on the button , thats not easy to do because guys like Ward see the most shots coming and the ones that touch them are having the power taken off by having a head attached to a very hair triggered hinge , its very hard to catch guys like Ward clean and hard .

Its a great fight I dont care who wins and both can , I just see a Ward UD .

we didnt get the chance to see what the result would be in a fair fight

Again JDJ can talk until he's blue in the face about Ward. Kov is his charge. I'd rather hear him talk about two other fighters, not when one is his charge. But hey that's me. I feel the same way with Ward's trainer. And basically, all you're doing is complaining about how Ward fights. Good luck with that one.

And I wasn't trying to disrespect you. But you have never fought on their level which is what I should've said. World class boxers in tough fights will do anything to win legally. Mustafa Hamsho butted Hagler on purpose and he was the one who got cut, not Hagler and lost in less than 4 rounds.

Well I can tell you I don't have to have been in the ring at a top pro fighter level to know what's up in the sport and how things go in the ring. And I don't see any fotos of you with a major title belt around your waist, so just maybe we're both just boxing fans and neither is better than the other.

I'd rather not talk about us or our ring experience. Fighters deserve respect, not a cheap outlook.

If Ward turns southpaw can this happen? I mean it was years ago and Kovalev has gotten tons better.

yeah a hell of a lot rests on who the ref is. Ward with a bias ref who lets him clinch and headbutt is one of the toughest guys in the sport to beat, take away the fouling and hes nothing special

you guys sound like a broken record....where were all the clinches and head butts vs Froch, Smith, Barrera, Dawson, and Brand.


seems like a ready made excuse in case Kovalev loses to me...i like both fighters, but its pretty lame how some of you guys act like Ward needs a ref and judges when he has won EVERY fight in his career clearly.

reaching for straws that dont exist fellas.....how many head butts and clinches did you see in his last few fights?

i got you bro

I dont understand why some people act like Kovalev wont be getting hit back to the head and the body and also act like he is a one punch ko artist...he isnt, he breaks you down with hard accurate sharp shots...he isnt bob foster or even a spinks type of guy with high light reel 1 punch knockouts

you dont have to be a power puncher to score KD and Kos....you need accuracy and timing.
