Kovalev stands no chance against Andre Ward, smh at people thinking he will KO Ward

[hectari]

the only thing that will save you is if Teddy Atlas picks Kovalev


you guys got Hectari'd...i might put some money on Krusher now...i feel a LOT better

The only time I ever got a pick wrong is the ****** Pacquiao fights, those dudes never followed the plan. Jessie Vargas will beat Pacquiao,he is different he isn't scared to trade and he can counter him.

Algieri, Rios were both unfamiliar with the early morning fight time, and were groggy fighting at 8 am in the morning.

if that's what you're basing the outcome of this fight to be on, then i guess you're not as smart as you think

I've already given several assessments of the fight. Ward surprise him with his physical strength and have the edge inside. Kov is best at mid and long range but Ward is the most elusive fighter today at 160 and up. Its hard to land more than 1 clean shot on him at a time

Kovalev, is often off balance and his footwork gets sloppy. Ward controls range better than any fighter in the game, he changes levels, and he throws counters off his blocks, pivots and slips

imo the only way Kov can win is by ko because I don't see him winning enough rounds to get a Decision

boxing is simple. if you land at a higher percentage and get hit considerably less, 9/10 you win barring a ko

Kovalev is a complete boxer puncher but he is a one punch ko artist like Stevenson who has the one punch ko snap. Kov is a sharp puncher with good technique but he needs room, the proper distance and he also has to break down his better opposition

I don't see him being able to land enough or control the pace to take the play away from Ward

the fight will be competitive, I just see Wards boxing ability and underrated strength seeing him through



so how and why do you think Kovalev wins?

[Dean_Razorback]

Hectari just predicted a Ward win


Ward fans, you're ****ed

the jinx is real #KOByJab

A lot depends on the referee.

If he enforces the rules of boxing, Kovalev wins. He's the better fighter.

If it's Jack Reiss, Lawrence Cole or some other crooked referee, Ward will get away with his illegal tactics and win by TD or UD.

[just the facts]

Ward is going to cruise to a decision win after the first 6 rounds. Seems like all kovalev fans think hes going to win just because he has so much power. Ward is the more complete and more skilled fighter in every single area, he just has less power. And power doesnt mean anything when you cant land. Kovalev is going to get frustrated by missing so much and will eventually gas out towards the second half of the fight and ward is just going to tie him up and smother him on the inside and pepper him with shots from the outside. Hes gonna win 9-3 or 8-4 you can bump this after the fight.

There is a chance that kov catches him and knocks him down early and kos him but a small chance , hes simply just not the better fighter.

pretty fair assessment of the fight and that's how I see it going

so how and why do you think Kovalev wins?

the long lay off, the subpar opposition, the move up to 75


this is a nightmare waiting to happen for Ward

and if that physical strength that you're banking on doesnt show up against Kovalev?


what you'll have is a rusty, limited power, natural SMW eating power shots and clinching for dear life


since you LOVE bringing up the last fights, do you REALLY think that punch output by Ward is enough to win? too economical


this wont be an easy fight either way and i scoff and these clowns who think they know the sport that think so


what happens if that chin gets checked early and it doesn't hold up?


i will bump this thread-jinx after the fight

[Roscoe337]

No I didnt? dude you are an annoying Pac-turd, im about to block you, saying no you didnt lying sack, I have never went against Ward or Floyd ever dude. EVER because they are hard to be and it would take a fluke KO to beat them they are too defensive and careful.

I said its possible that Rios can KO Pac with a jab and posted the video of Pac being let cross eyed with a baby jab by nedal hussien, Pac was given a long count dude he was knoicked out.

You are ******, how the hell is Ward getting to get hattond by Kovalev, make some sense dude, Ward is not a face first brawler.

Hectari I think your right but I will say this. It seems to me that Ward has started to open up more in the higher weight class. I don't think he fights as safety conscious actually. This does not scare me because he knew whom he was fighting his last two outings. Ward is my favorite right now but I won't lie, I will be tight knuckled when he fights the strong Russian!

In what world is Kovalev the better fighter? He has a power advantage and that's it. Everything else favors Ward.

If Ward is such a great fighter, why does he need to cheat with illegal tactics?

Why can't he win with boxing skills?
