Ward has already mentally defeated Kovalev

[MDPopescu]

Ward is a great boxer, but he's not a killer. It just makes no sense for Kovalev to be nervous or scared of Ward. Ward will win a decision against Kovalev, and Kovalev knows that this is the only way Ward can win. However, Ward knows Kovalev can KO him or decision him. If Kovalev is nervous of Ward then that's really weird, Kovalev is literally a professional killer, he killed a boxer. Ward is no killer, great boxer though, who I predict will win a tough battle vs Kovalev

Hopkins outlands, outboxes Kovalev and the only chance Kovalev has is not even a punchers chance. He has a judges chance, where the judges shaft Hopkins like they always do. Especially that recent one where one blind judge gave Shumenov the fight. That's the only way Kovalev wins. Bad judging against Hopkins is more likely than a KO against Hopkins.

Hopkins is going to embarrass Kovalev. He might make him irrelevant.

Maybe you are right. I can't read minds. I am a Kovalev fan. I believe in my favorite fighters and get inspiration from their victories and I am saddened by their loses. I like to think of Kovalev as a fearless boxer. I am hoping and expecting him to knock Ward out. I am not a Ward fan and wouldn't mind seeing him get KOed by Kovalev because it would help the career of one of my favorite boxers. I think Kovalev has respect for Ward as a great fighter and a difficult challenge. I don't think he has any fear of Ward at all. Kovalev is a fearless warrior in my opinion.

Kovalev's whole personality has changed. People say Kovalev has a dont give a fuck attittude. He's called different fighters pieces of shit. Called Hopkins a clown. But in this fight he's acting totally different towards Ward. Not just respect. He's acting passive and emotional.


Look at him nervously fidgeting with his hands. Cracking his knuckles trying to relieve the anxiety. Watch him initiate the handshake.

This is after Kovalev was upset Ward didn't speak to him in the hallway. Sergey was supposedly upset at this time. But once again he initiates the handshake. Ward exerts his dominance by tapping Sergey on the arm to let Sergey know he's dismissed. But after this Sergey told the press fuck Andre Ward and complained about Ward not speaking to him.

Not that i give a **** about any of this...but didn't kovalev tap ward on the arm first?

Ooohh a wrong prediction. How many big fights have I gotten correct...Mosley-Margarito, people were laughing at Mosley. Margarito vs Cotto I. Mayweather vs Pac (easy), Ward vs Kessler (Kess was favorite, I rooted for Kess to win but predicted Ward)...W/e one wrong prediction, I owned up. Also, the same people who said Kovalev will kill B-Hop in 6 rounds or less were wrong too

who is more emotional? KOvalev for saying fuck ward for not shaking his hand or ward for crying to the media about not getting the recognition he thinks he deserves and admitting that this bothers him?

Why did he reach to shake Ward hand then run to the media crying and complaining? Ward was complaining TO THE MEDIA ABOUT THE MEDIA! Kovalev was complaing about Ward to the media instead of to Ward himself. If you got a problem with a person you address them like Ward did. You don't run complaining to someone else.
