Comments Thread For: Sergey Kovalev: I Overtrained for the First Andre Ward Fight

[Metho_4u]

Kovalev won the first fight but he also didn't help himself by fading down the stretch

I really do feel ward will win this time for real because Kovalev is going to come out and try and take his head off then frustration/desperation will set in when he realizes the rounds are ticking by and its going to the cards again

Ward did win for real...that's why the judges scored it for him.

Wasn't prepared for inside work. Wasn't prepared for a fighter with a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gear. Can't wait to see how being even less prepared works out for him. We saw the best possible Kovalev that night, and not the best Ward.

KOV blew it! He had WARD down and didn't finish him. Now WARD has collected the necessary data to win a 2nd fight convincingly. WARD has the better IQ so look for him to make needed adjustments!

awwwwwwwwwww poor thing

??? You DOPE Ward lives and TRAINS in Oakland.

Kovalov is the one who relocated to LA in 2015 and trains there.

LMAO. You got your fighters residence mixed up.

Haters don't care about facts. Hilarious.

Kova fired Superfly JD Jackson as his trainer?

Ward > Kovalev

LOL good point.

Ward is nowhere as athletic as he was in the past. The time of the constant vertical level changes and quick lateral movenments are done. This is a lesser version of ward- which is own fault-- but also what shows his ultimate grit and mental toughness.

Let's not be mistaken. Ward has the tougher objective because he will need to go to the body earlier and avoid big shots while being less athletic than he was in the past. Kovalevs only objective is to not get out punched numerically or aesthetically.

The fact that Kovalev was tentative is what helped him in the first fight. He didn't give Ward a lot to build off. Ward would rather be inside where Kovalev is less skillled. Instead he made Ward fight by timing jabs for jabs.
