Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Promoter Pleased That He Struggled a Bit With Chilemba

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Sergey Kovalev and Andre Ward each had tune-up fights ahead of their Nov. 19 pay-per-view. Wile Andre Ward had an easy night winning a unanimous decision over an undersized, unheralded Alexander Brand in August, Sergey Kovalev struggled a bit while winning on the scorecards over contender Isaac Chilemba.

Chilmeba isnt Ward but this was a smart fight to take before Ward. Kovalevs timing and range should be on point. 1 thing that team Ward can benefit from Chilemba vs. Kovalev is fresh tape on Kovalev and see his reaction to Chilembas offense and defense. Kovalev really doesnt have anything to go off of on Ward as far as tape is concerned. This fight is great on so many levels, they say timing beats speed, and intelligence beats strength/power. You can pick and choose as to who has what but may the best man win, I just hope its Ward!!!

Really similar to what roid jones said.
Kovalev fighting a tricky slick boxer despite looking bad was the best thing that could of happened instead of a stay busy fight
