any danger that kovalev is overlooking ward?

[mathed]

not much trash talk from kovalev and hes said hes not interested in watching or listening to ward. Is there a danger that kovalev underestimates ward and doesnt see him as a threat? Although his CV is lacking, ward is a good solid fighter and he is an awkward opponent for anyone.
Much like chilemba, ward doesnt have any power but can be an awkward customer. Is there a danger that kovalev is too relaxed for this fight, like he was chilemba, and it turns out to be trickier than expected?
With tough fights against proven power punchers like beterbiev, stevenson and perhaps usyk at cruiser around the corner, maybe kovalev could take his eye off the ball for this one, and ward may have a chance of pulling it off....

I think Ward is underestimating Kovalev.

It's going to be a Kova KO or a Ward decision. I can't wait!

He's repeatedly called it the biggest fight of his life and said it was a fifty fifty fight.

There's zero chance he's overlooking Ward.

Barring injury, both will be getting the best possible versions of each other fight night.

[Larry the boss]

No this is the biggest fight of his life and he is focused

If anything, I'd bet that Kovalev is nervous. That's not shyt talk, just an honest evaluation about how anyone with a scrap of brain would feel in his shoes. People who think Kov wins, thinks he does so on "power". Power is not going to be enough against a guy who is notoriously hard to hit clean. His challenge next month is to be able to apply that power while dealing with counters, traps, etc. Kovalev has really got to go above and beyond anything he's done in order to out-gameplan Ward, then shift into mode B and mode C after Ward adapts.

Not an easy fight for either guy and Kovalev is not ****** enough to overlook Ward.

Proven against whom man?? let him fight top level comp first man...and power isnt everything..Ward is far from featherfisted ,thats why fighters dont just walk thru him

[Kigali]

He's articulate but a little whiny

Ward a little whiny??

Kovelav was the one crying about Ward not shaking his hand.

Beterbiev got dropped on his flat ass by the dreaded Jeff Page Jr....a guy with zero experience and zero power.
