Andre Ward practices South Paw Stance.....

[boliodogs]

The only times Kovalev was in control were wen Ward went south paw. No idea why they can't watch the film and see the same thing. Going south paw kept Kovalev in the fight. Eliminate that and Ward wins 9-3.

That is how you remember the first fight and you are in the minority. The majority, myself included, think Kovalev's speed, skill and power should have won the fight for him and the judges made a bad decision. I think Kovalev will KO Ward and take back the belts he should not have lost in the first fight.

southpaw, orthodox, why does it matter. as long as he hears the final bell the american judges will give him that win.

I'm pretty sure Ward is naturally left handed, could have spent some time in his early years as a southpaw before more than likely being force to swap, similar thing happened a friend of mine, southpaw for a few years before being swapped to fighting orthodox. Could just be doing it to give off vibes that hes going to switch and then not - throw team Kov. of?

Ward is absolutely left handed. When has he ever scored a knock down with his right. When he flexes his muscles his left bicep is bigger than his right bicep. When a man hits harder with his left than with his right it's a safe bet he is left handed. De La Hoya and Trinidad were both left handed.

Isn't he naturally a southpaw?

^Correct. He's a lefty, which is why he does most of his work with his left hand.

This southpaw training stuff is nothing new. Before the last fight, someone posted a vid of Dre doing it and he said he occasionally uses it when the opportunity is there. That his wife asked him why he's not using it more and he said, "I don't know."

This isn't some new trick he's going to employ.
