He had him down once in 7th. Where are you getting the other 3 times from?

Boone said he had him down 4 times.

I put a thread on it 'was ggg v brook the blueprint for kovalev v ward'.

Yeah I just looked at that thread and NOBODY agreed with ur ****** ass you dumb fck!

when someone says : "i am not afraid" they already are aware and cautious about whatever they are talking about.

This is a reassurance sentence from Ward to his inner self.

I just hope for a good fight and may the best man on that night win.

WBO/IBF/WBA light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev (30-0, 26KOs) is one of the most feared fighters in boxing. Many regard him as one of the hardest punchers, pound-for-pound, in the sport.

Kovalev has no advantages other than what he does inside the ring..... Ward won't be psyched out or overawed, been there done that. Kovalev will have to continually adapt, and over the course of 12 rounds he will need to prove that he is the better fighter, not the harder puncher.

Punching power alone almost never is at the top level, nonetheless it IS a factor. TBH though I think Ward's biggest challenge will be controlling Kovalevs movement. Still can't make a decisive call on this fight though. I been sitting on the fence so long the splinters have got splinters.

true, well said

Ward frives under pressure,,

the kid kovolov can punch i aint gonna deny it but we see what happens when these hypped punches go up elite american defensve fighters,

Kovalev dosent really rely on just power anyway. He dosent load up on his punches. He works behind the jab, maintains a distance and goes to the body pretty decent. And yes, when an opening presents itself, he looks to drop the right hand.

Ward's first point of order will be to address Kovalev's jab.

The key to this fight will be how Kovalev adapts to Ward.

We will know a lot more about Kovalev after this fight.

Huge Kovalev fan but can't see him winning on the performance he churned out in his last fight. Ward should win 116-112.

We already know Kovalev can't help squaring himself up and dropping his hands to his waist after every punch.
