    What do you mean by delivers? If you've never liked the way Ward fights up until now, Fighting Kovalev isn't going to change your mind if he wins. The only sort of delivery you can hope for is that Ward gets KTFO. Otherwise you'll be on here just complaining about how boring he is and how he used illegal tactics.

        not slugging as such but landing proper shots and not clinching as soon as kovalev comes within 2 foot of him. thats not much to ask for.

          why so much aggression? Is it really that unreasonable to ask the fighters to deliver an entertaining fight?

Ward is not coming into this fight looking to win fans, he's looking to win belts. He has a roughhouse style of boxing that Kovalev needs to be aware of and needs to be prepared for. I honestly am expecting a takedown from Kovalev at some point if Ward clinches a lot, like he did to Pascal.

              The boxing (sport) fan in me doesnt really like Wards style. The 'real fight' fan in me has an appreciation for it. We are fighting here, not just playing 'two hand touch'. (the exception in my opinion is low blows. No honor in groin shots) You cant just blame Ward and say Oh hes a dirty fighter. There is some onus on Kovalev to defend himself at all times, even from clinches and possible headbutts. He needs to be aware of where his head in with relation to Wards at all times. It might get ugly at times, but its going to be a great fight.
              hmm well i disagree mate, the ref should be stopping ward from headbutting and clinching, kovalev shouldnt have to be actively looking to prevent it

                It will be an exciting fight no matter what. It will not be a mexican style slugfest, but it will definitely be edge of your seat type of action. Two great fighters.

                I also think it's unfair for you to keep bringing up Ward's headbutts. He was only bad once - in a fight with Kessler a LONG time ago. As for clinches, yeah, they suck. But they are part of the sport.. and the last time Ward REALLY overdid with the clinches was vs. Kessler.

                    im looking forward to the fight, im a big kovalev fan too, im not wanting to ward to lose because it somehow justifies golovkin, its because i like the krusher.
