How SHOCKED Would Everybody Be if Ward Knocked Kovalev Out?

[Mike D]

Yeah in that case his foot got stepped on and he lost balance.

I don't think he stepped on his foot...you can't see Caparello's feet from this angle, but it looks like he was at range when he lands (0:08).

That said, Kovalev clearly wasn't hurt whatsoever. I think he just lost his balance and his glove touched.

He KD him with a Jab to the body WOW,i forgot about this fight,Kova was of balance Capo didnt even land clear.

how will kov react to fighting on his back foot?

[Rip Chudd]

Wouldn't be too surprised, been watching boxing for a long time. Anybody can get knocked out. I would take a step back though like "Dang, didn't know Ward had it in him"

[al-Xander]

I wouldn't be shocked. You are assuming Ward won't land anything solid on Kovalev. Otherwise, Ward's vaunted skill is all hype. You are also assuming Kovalev is this invincible guy who can't get hurt.

So this is a 50/50 fight for me. At first I thought Ward is smaller, but when I saw them side by side with each other, man they're almost identical in size.

Put your points where your mouths are.

He will be accused of being on something INSTANTLY if he pulls that off

I would be shocked to ****.

If Ward is sharp on fight night and Kovalev gets careless (which is a real possibility if he can't hit Ward) anything can happen. Ward hits hard enough to do the job. As boring as I'm expecting this fight to be, I wouldn't be shocked if both men hit the canvas at some point. Even if its just flash knockdowns.

[Madison Boxing]

no chance he KO's or stops kovalev. no chance whatsoever. flash knockdown wouldnt be a shock in the slightest however, seen as caparello (however the **** its spelt) managed to knockdown kovalev

Shocked, cant see Ward Knocking out anyone at 175. Maybe a Knockdown but a knocout is hard to see it for Ward
