Comments Thread For: Ward's Manager To Kovalev: Sergio, We Already Cracked Your Code!

[mathed]

He's telling the truth, and NO you dont want it with J Prince. Ask Bob Arum and Floyd Mayweather Jr. But they found out that KRYING KITTY KOV doe snt want that "inside action" so Ward is gonna walk his ass down and make him either try to fight going backwards or STAND HIS GROUND, they already figured out that kitty doesnt want that inside action from the first fight, thats why Andre keeps telling sergio's team that they talk all of that trash but when they are in the ring, its sergio thats not backing up what he talks about, i.e. "cracked his code". Now when his power doesnt work he's a different fighter, when his intimidation tactics doesnt work he's not the same fighter SOG is gonna walk him down and make him fight going backwards which will take a greater toll on his conditioning not to mention the bodywork he will have to endure

Funny schit I've seen in a while, you calling other people trolls and throwing your KKK connection in there. Ward gonna get his ass beat down this time, deal wit it mang.

We'll see.

It isn't complicated changes that need to be made when a guy arguably won in the first place. We saw the best of Ward need a gift decision, but Kovalev can make adjustments.

Listen to what I'm saying. Kovalev needs to stop Ward taking it to a dog fight and keep him on the end of his punches. If Kovalev can employ movement, and throw going backwards, he can keep Ward from getting in close. But simply chucking a bit more to the body won't help as Ward is so highly skilled here, Kov will always come off second best on the inside.

Was it a gift? Not really. I think the body work took it out of Kovalev in the late rounds, it was close, but I left feeling Ward did enough to win just, in that he won more rounds, but Kovalev would probably get the decision, as his work was more decisive.

I really think Kov needs to go for the KO early in this fight to win. Honestly, I don't think he's got it in him to keep Ward off him for 12 rounds, certainly not now Ward is more comfortable at the weight and will have experience of Kov's fighting style. Kov can't get down and dirty like Ward.

I see a carbon copy of the first fight, minus the dominant Kov rounds. It will be a clear Ward decision this time.

I don't really disagree with most of what you just said, up until the point where you say he needs an early KO. You are painting a desperate picture for Kovalev, given that he arguably should have won and did more decisive work in the previous fight.

I agree that Ward was successful on the inside, particularly to the body, as the fight wore on. I also agree that it likely slowed Kovalev down. I am not suggesting that Kovalev fight Ward's fight, I am suggesting that he doesn't fall behind in the body work. He doubled Ward over with a shot to the body (and has knocked guys out with body shots in the past), but it was the only body shot I remember him landing, with very few thrown.

Kovalev fought on roughly even terms boxing and trying to neutralize Ward. Next time, he can take advantage of his ability to hurt Ward by landing some more body shots. He also may need to take some more risks with applied aggression. I believe he spent too much time neutralizing Ward tactically, and not enough time taking advantage of his ability to hit and hurt Ward. I would compare it tactically to skirmishing with the main army in the field versus destroying its supply lines and doing critical damage to its infrastructure. It was too defensive of a posture for someone with such a dangerous offense. Arguably, the reason Ward swayed the judges is because he took more risks.

Reducing his chances to a bum rush early KO is not showing enough respect for the work that he did in the previous fight, but I think we agree in spirit that more aggression is Kovalev's best option.

Yep agreed, but you might have misunderstood what I meant by the early KO. I just think Kov is more dangerous early, I think it gives Ward less time to settle into a rhythm, less time to establish himself on the inside, and less time to adapt to Kov's power. Like the first fight I think the longer it goes on, the more it favours Ward and I'm not trying to paint a desperate picture for Kov, I just believe as the fight goes on it could be his fight to lose, just like fight 1. If you know what I mean.

But basically yeah, we're on the same page.
