Will ward v kovalev live up to the hype?

[Madison Boxing]

Ward must be a star of the sport then which is the opposite of what die hard GGG fans like yourself say.... because I'm struggling to see how a guy that supposedly can't draw flies to ****, nobody watches and is supposedly extremely boring can be responsible for the demise of the sport.

So which is it man???? You guys can't seem to get your story sorted. You're a bunch of flip flopping boxrecing clowns.

its cause this guy is considered one of the top guys in the sport yet he turns people away from watching it. often when i watch a ward fight it makes me question what im doing with my life, its that boring. this is last chance saloon for ward, hes got a chance to reinvent himself as an entertaining fighter, he'll get more respect from me if he comes and takes the fight to kovalev and loses, than if he stinks out the joint and makes the fight a non event and wins.

Respect from you? Who gives a ****..... his legacy will enhanced by a win not a loss, please save yourself the trouble by not watching the fight and wait for the next Golovkin street fight or drama show and stop making threads about the Kovalev vs Ward fight, IT IS NOT FOR CASUALS!!!

it should be for the casuals and the hardcore alike, people who enjoy sport should be able to enjoy a fight between arguably two of the best fighters in the sport. are you one of those boxing hipsters who dont want boxing to be mainstream? As much as ward says he doesnt care, im sure pretty much every boxer wants to be liked by the fans.



people in his own town didnt want to watch his free press conference ^ and a grand total of 68 views on youtube. why do you and the other hipsters make out im being so unreasonable for hoping a fight is entertaining?

Everyone starting to see you for what you are, a bandwagon casual.

It is hard to imagine Andre Ward in a see-saw barmstormer of a fight. It is not so hard to imagine him nullifying Kovalev and the excitement is going to come from whether Kovalev can get to him whilst Ward banks the rounds.

Exactly what I was going to say. We all know what Ward is going to do. He will clinch, fight on the inside, rough Kovalev up and land those short, sharp punches.

We also know Kovalev isn't that good on the inside and one thing Pascal proved: Kovalev can not fight going back. Unless Kovalev manages to deal with Ward on the inside and can fight up close, it's going to be an ugly but effective decision for Ward.

You're a bandwagon casual that thinks all the answers are on boxrec. Boxrec will always trip you up and expose you pal, like when you said Ward-Froch was a close fight.

it was a close fight, ive watched it twice, i scored it 115-113. I use boxrec to back up my opinions.

Or when he picked out Rubin Carter at random for a name and shame, not realising he was quite renowned. Or was that one of the other alts?

BigDramashow, you keep referring to Ward as boring. The only thing more boring are your posts. You are consistently trying to make points about greatness being related to entertainment. But entertainment is simply an opinion. I'm not even sure you have watched many Ward fights, you probably just looked on Boxrec and formed an opinion on who he has beaten and where he should rank. Which if that is the case, I'm not sure where (using that method) that would leave GGG, but fear not, GGG brings Drama, excitement, he allows himself to get punched in the face.

To many of us here, that's boring. Seeing a MW beat up guys who he knows he can beat is boring. Isn't that the catalyst of why Mayweather was called a cherry picker. Because he only fought guys he can beat? Yet here we have GGG calling out welter weights and junior welter weights? . . .

But then again, that's just my opinion, much like your opinion, but the fact about opinions is, your opinions stink. They reak of someone who doesn't enjoy the sport in it's entirety or understand what it takes to win.
When you're fighting at world level (against quality opposition) going out there and putting on a show is not what's spoken about in the dressing room before hand

"Hey Ward, go out there and put on a good show, please the crowd. . . " I can promise you, these are the sort of words spoken by managers to rock groups. This isn't a ****ing rock concert, it's prize fighting. Health, risk, reputation are at steak here. Granted some boxers do not posses the physical abilities to defend themselves as effectively as others. But one thing's for sure. You can bet your bottom dollar if they could they would. So that then leads to the question "If you can, then why wouldn't you?"
