Comments Thread For: Jackson: Ward Has To Make More Adjustments Than Kovalev Does

[Joe Beamish]

The main adjustment for Kovalev is understanding that the judges will give every round to Ward that they can. There's no coasting possible.

Otherwise, it's a matter of being better conditioned (not overtrained.)

Ward should be worrying about krusher's kickass jab. Of course we know his solution: tackle and hold.

So, the guy who adjusted and started winning is the guy who has to make more adjustments?

Makes sense, right?

[Ake-Dawg]

Flawed logic, though. Ward won rounds in the 2nd half due to the way he was fighting then AND the way Kovalev was/wasn't fighting in the 2nd half. You assume Kovalev will be slower, tired, and lacking from the start of the 2nd fight.

The logic is about adjustments. One of the adjustments Kovalev has to make is get more stamina or fight at a different pace. Both are hard to accomplish.

Also, note that because Ward suffered a KD, he had to have won a round in the first half of the fight. So I assume Ward can win rounds against a fresh Kovalev as well.

Doesn't make sense, if Wards made adjustments and had success in the second half of the fight it's their turn to make more adjustments when I hear stuff like this kovalev probably does need a new trainer

I wouldn't take too literally what trainers say to the media leading up to a fight. They throw stuff out there, whatever comes to mind when someone sticks a camera in their face. And they like to try to get inside the opponent's head.

You can be sure Kovalev's camp is well aware they won't win a single close round with these judges.

Kovalev is not as diverse as Ward....thats it.

You're a whining b1tchboy, go watch the fight and see who holds more.

I hope kov wins. He deserved it the first time. If he wins this one clearly they better give it to him cuz id love to see this turn into a trilogy then I don't care who wins the 3rd fight

Yeah they're definitely making adjustments, he might not know them but im sure the Russian "conditioning coach" does haha

Adjustments?

Or Kov gassing?

Kov can afford to make more mistakes in this fight.
