Will Ward vs Krusher be just like Calzaghe vs Kessler.

I don't know, don't lol.

I just made a thread stating my state of mind going into the fight and the nirvana I am on right now and where my mind is at all week, so you can understand how I just don't want to "get into it" about this fight with anyone right now.

Send me a link. And at what stage did I suggest these guys were alike ie Joe being Andre and Krusher being Mikkel, I wrote I see the situation unfolding similar did I not ?

Everyone calm down...lol. Great fight, i think it'll have its own nuances. i fully expect Ward to pull it out. We have yet to see him fightg at 100% skill level. Although the truth can be said of Kovalev. What i dont put any stock in is this idea of a knockout happening. Ward is too skilled for that. He's smart enough to avoid Kov if he's in trouble. And typically speaking, Kov has power, but he doesnt have that one shot power that would make you worry about Ward. He usually accumulates damage after a number of rounds of handing out beatings.

You'll enjoy it better if you judge this fight on its own merit & not really act like my mom & try to compare with my friends to see why I did not do well in my exams..

All I would say is - Open a can of beer, kick back your feet & don't blink through the fight..

The best man will come on top & there is no sloppy seconds in this one..

I'm just hoping whoever wins, the ones who feel begrudged accept the winner and don't act like sensitive emotional wrecks like when Pac lost to Floyd.

Ward's own power is underrated he'll humble Kovalev and he won't be as adventurous as he was in the Chilemba fight. I'm struggling to see how Kovalev wins due to the fact I can't see him landing combinations.

I have calculated a 40% chance of this happening. Although it's unfair to compare Krusher to Kessler who in my mind was an OK boxer but not as complete as K is.

Can't change the nutters, I speak for all the sensible ones that win/lose/draw the biggest fight of the year is finally here..

Kessler was more skilled than Kovalev. IMO he is the more complete.

See how Kessler negated Froch's jab in the rematch, he has the ability to adapt has Kovalev ? All real champions find a way to adjust mid fight, again can Kovalev upon the likelihood he falls behind on the cards versus Ward ? I am not convinced also Kovalev has shown he can lose his focus and has appeared to show malice against opposition before, that to me shows he has allowed it to become personal, professionals should never allow it to become personal.
