How many headbutts will Ward land on Kovalev?

[mlac]

You are a Golovkin fan though, it's very obvious.... the real Kovalev fans like king_, Mathed and King Krusher actually talking about the fight and how they can't wait for a Kovalev victory. The Golovkin groupies like yourself are huddling together with your blood soaked g strings crying about headbutts that haven't yet happened.

Dude... look back and read what you are typing, bizarre delusional theories from a clearly mentally ill fanboy.

it's really sad

Well, maybe Kovalev needs to listen to that coach who can't teach or tell him a damn thing, and maybe....just maybe he'll be able to avoid the headbutt.

Just my take on it. Moving along.

He is shorter that Kovalev right?

That upper cut / head butt combo should work like a dream in those clinch breaks.

He will land plenty of "accidental" ones......as accidental as when Robert Byrd(the ref this weekend) thought Hopkins(who hasn't landed an accidental headbutt in his life) did this to Winky, by accident of course....

ive gone for 2. i dont think headbutt will be wards weapon of choice cause its been very well publicised. think there will be a hell of a lot of clinches, around the 60/70 mark although not quite 80 which he managed against kessler. im expecting perhaps more use of elbows in this fight, like he did against bika

[King_]

Kessler and Froch are just not on Kovalev's level, it's not much more complicated then that. Take away every single headbutt by Ward against Kessler and he still schools Kessler 10/10 times, Kessler simply just doesn't have an answer for the puzzle Ward puts out.

Kovalev is a completely different story, headbutts and dirty fighting will not affect the outcome of this fight in the slightest, if anything, Ward fighting "dirty" benefits Kovalev more. Sergey Kovalev isn't Mikkel Kessler, he's got some nasty, and his nasty-side would come out victorious in a collision with Wards 'dirty-ness.'

[The Hammer]

I sense that Ward is in the same mindset as he was for his first title fight against Mikkel Kessler. In that fight Ward fought extremely dirty and, among other nasty stuff, landed several blatant (yet uncalled) headbutts.


So what do you think? How many will headbutts will he land?

NOT TOO CONFIDENT IN KOV PULLING IT OFF ARE YOU?

GOT THE EXCUSES LOCKED AND LOADED

I just don't like Ward's style. I find it extremely boring. You like it and it's all good. Ward needs fans.

I personally am undecided on who I think will win. I think that Wards lack of viable opposition in the past 5 years is a big issue. Had he fought a genuine top 10 lhw contender, he would have been better prepared.

Anyway that's not what this thread is about. Its about headbutts. Something that has been very subdued in Wards recent many fights, but a weapon that Ward will look to deploy again in this fight imo.

I hope for a referee who will enforce the rules of boxing.

[BattlingNelson]

I am hoping the same. This is so pathetic and sad at the same time. Excuses flying from everywhere and yet you haven't seen one thread from the other side doing it, but only hoping it's a good fight and that the best fighter win. Truly pathetic

A thread with a poll with the question: "Will Kovalev try to kill Ward yes or no?" Makes room for little discussion.
