Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Coach: Ward is No Hopkins, I Hope He Tries To Hold

[MDPopescu]

I notice lately (thankfully) Ward fans are starting to back off with denying Ward fights dirty. Thing is, he has enough talent to not do that, yet he did it for many fights. Like many have said, let's have a clean fight. Hope for a good ref who will keep order in the ring, and deduct points if Ward gets desperate and starts up his bu tt 'n grab crapola again. Kovalev has the tools to do this thing well, if he keeps following JDJ's instructions. Enough killing body shots, and Ward will crumble eventually.

These ignorant trolls who you call "Ward fans" may not even have the knowledge of Jackson fighting B-Hop, not to add that Jackson was in B-Hop's corner for years...

i notice lately when certain fighters do things its considered fighting dirty but when a guy like maidana fights dirty its considered doing whatever it takes to win

oh yeah, chico got a pass for rabbit punching, biting, tackling, etc interesting

okay we get it guys andre ward is a cheater who cant box, all he relies on is cheating and wins only with illegal tactics

Wards use of the head in the Kessler fight was blatant at times. He was lucky the referee didn't even acknowledge it...I just have a feeling Ward will use the same tactics and frustrate Kovalev to the point where he makes too many mistakes. Hope I'm wrong and Kovalev wins...

People have said this every single fight after Ward fought Kessler. It has yet to happen. The Kessler fight was sloppy and yes there were butts and holding, but you dudes are holding onto a fight that happened years ago. Ward has obviously grown as a fighter since then, and besides he rarely switches southpaw now, which bis the main reason a lot of those headbutts happened. Stop looking for excuses and look for a good fight.

JDJ is right, Ward has yet to receive his first issue of AARP magazine and he doesn't take baths in Ben Gay creme for his arthritis and muscle aches .... So in fact, he is no Hopkins....

[Travycat]

Going to be such an awesome fight.

Yep. I think all that came up when Kovalev fought BHop if I remember right.
