Comments Thread For: Ward: I'm Ready For Whatever Kovalev Brings - That's The Key

[SugarRaRobinson]

Chilemba and 50yo Hopkins did not prepare Kovalev for Ward

you never thought of it like that, did ya?

I'm sure he thought it was Muhammadi that gave Kov the necessary tools to beat Ward

[Dean_Razorback]

that is exactly what I said months back

this fight will come down to adjustments

this all depends on how Kovalev/Jackson react when Ward adjusts to Kovalev

they better have done their homework, and they better have a tricky southpaw in camp

what if kovalev adjust to ward? what if is the other way around? is this such an impossible thing?

[SugarRaRobinson]

The psychology of these Kov and ggg fans is very touch and go. When Ward was injured and dealing with contractual issues ggg and his team was spewing that 154-168 nonsense and Ward was mum because he couldn't answer the call due to his situation. But little g fans were talking all kinds of sh.t about Ward don't want it.

As soon as Ward cleared up those issues and was able to fight he called ggg out immediately and little g fans changed their tune saying that Ward was picking on the smaller guy. They also said he should move up and fight Kov if he was sooooo tough, awhile also stating he'd never have the guts to do it because he knows he'd get KO'd by Kov.

Now they see Ward is more ready than ever to take this guys belts and isn't gonna fake an injury and now all u hear is how beating Kov is no big feat . Please don't let Ward make u tuck your nuts in anymore .

A sorry bunch of Castrated insurance customers .

He says a few more things in that quote too of which all are noticeable. The winner might well be the more intelligent fighter on the night; could just be the gutsiest one in the end, too. How great would it be to se this one be a war, but one to involve all the tactics as well.

He didn't fight Paul Smith.

Huh? Not faulting him after a 19 month lay off, but he did fight him.

If Ward wins, the winner of Kov and Stevenson gets the next shot at Ward. That fight is long over due.

I have even seen someone quote "Ward was the bigger fighter and beating a smaller Kov doesn't proves nothing."

No its not impossible but its unlikely , its a fight either guy can win but we all know its not likely that Ward would KO Kov or Kov out box Ward but both outcomes are possible , thats what make it such a good fight .

U misunderstood the post, I said the ggg fans started saying that Ward was too big for ggg and should challenge Kov if he's so tough. Never said anything about Ward being bigger than Kov . But there has been much rhetoric on here suggesting that if Ward wins it doesn't really elevate him because Kov doesn't have the best resume. Some are attempting to preemptively marginalize a Ward victory.

nope

but it is highly unlikely

Ward is extremely well-schooled, and likely the most well-rounded fighter in the game today..... he is very savvy, I think his jab/feints alone will cause Kovalev big problems.

Kovalev is not known in that same light.

This will come down to how Kovalev/Jackson react to Ward's adjustments..... but they better have done their homework
