will ward entertain versus kovalev?

[Metho_4u]

I expect the same fight the second time around. Ward will tackle and wrestle. The ref will allow it all day and twice on Sunday. Kovalev will gas himself throwing actual punches, and the two will wrestle it out to a lame decision victory, probably for the home team again.

Hmmmm, why is it that kovalev only landed 10 more punches total then? AND he was outlanded 11 out of 12 rds as far as % goes? Another imbecile who just goes with the crowd.

if he fouls and clinches or wins via robbery yeah i will complain about it, cause its an injustice.

No, you cry like a b1tch anyway because Ward punked your boy...guaranteed you'll be here whining that night.

Hmmm, why is that you don't mention the power punch stats? Maybe it's because Kovalev landed 17 more power punches, AND more punches AND jabs overall. I don't care about the percentages (which were close enough anyway.) I care about who lands what. Sounds like you're the imbecile.

Andre Ward is super boring. I promise that I am not hating. Kov won the first fight and Jacobs beat GGG. I'm all over the place.

I think beating one of the best p4p fighters in the world is ENOUGH. Expecting for any fighter to shine on one of the best p4p fighters in the world is dumb.

Ward has been entertaining plenty of times in his career and at a high level too. The Froch fight was entertaining and that was against an elite level champion. The Abraham fight, the Green fight, Edison Miranda, all highly entertaining fights. There are probably more fights where Ward has been entertaining than not actually if you take his career as a whole.

He has been in some boring fights and some messy fights for sure, but he is a defensive minded fighter so you are always going to get that, but he has been in very few unwatchable fights. Even the Edwin Rodriguez fight, Sullivan Barrera, these are hardly bad fights. To be honest, since Ward made his comeback against Smith, he looks like a fighter who is carrying injuries and is past it physically, there is a stark difference if you watch the fights since Smith and the fights pre 2014. So he has definitely lost some dynamism in his movement which has made him that much more defensive and 'boring' as you call it.

PS I think Kovalev will win this fight.

Hmmm, well anustaster, here are ALL of the stats



As you can see, ward was far more accurate, and the percentages ALL favoring ward...now, normally I wouldn't even bother arguing numbers since detractors of Floyd, ward, etc only point to numbers when it suits their agenda... however, as you can clearly see, ward was HIGHER in EVERY category AND all but a single rd. Which means for people like you that not only was he MORE accurate, but that serGAY threw over 100 more that missed, which means ward also showed better defense. Ward won lol

Please do tell how

I don't think Ward has anything to prove in this fight. Kovalev is the one who has to quell the controversy and win convincingly. He's been crying about getting robbed and maybe he's right but it won't change anything until he avenges that loss. Ward knows how to win. For Kovalev's sake he better have learned something from their first outing. Otherwise Ward will take it again.
