Comments Thread For: Andre Ward on Kovalev's Talk: He's Looking For Extra Motivation!

[Marvlus Marv]

This is funny. Kovalev should've been quite satisfied with a respectful nod from Andre as they passed one another. It's kind of surprising that Kovy is genuinely butthurt about not getting a handshake. It's like, you want a fkn signed photo as well?

Real boxing fans know that Ward's analysis of the "European" style, successfully used by Kovalev and Golovkin, is based on stalking, cutting off the ring, a powerful jab which also establishes range in order to catch the opponent at the end of the punch where the power is most devastating. Ward and other extremely good boxers know that fighting inside and strategically clutching, disrupts an offensive boxers rhythm and ability to use all of their punching power.

Please review Holyfield vs Tyson

I was a little surprised to see Ward is a slight favorite -145, Kovalev +115. It will be very interesting to see Ward handle the power of the Krusher.This is a great match up.

Who says he has to handle kovalev's power??

You must be new to boxing.

I'm just now realizing that boxingscene takes an interview in one article and makes 10 other articles about it. LOL LOL LOL.

Lol.... Welcome to boxingscene!!

[uniquehump]

name 2 European fighters who are known to fight on the inside.

Soda Popinski is one. lol

[Froch_uppercut]

I'd beg to differ. Euro fighters do have inside game...they like to ****. Ward likes to stay on the outside and when he gets inside he holds...? I like both fighters but that is one hell of a generalization about european fighters.

Correct, and all spoken by a guy who has never fought in Europe. Very disrespectful by Ward. His phony-ness is gettinr laid bare for all to see in November. Bet on Kovalev, it's free money.

Let's just wait and see how Ward fends off the power. If he gets tagged clean it's lights out. And yeah I just turned 12
