'I think Alvarez planned to put on the pressure late but Kovalev already put on too much damage and now it's too late. Good to see consistency from Kovalev again. Glad he's finally listening to a trainer and being disciplined.' -RedFox

Kovalev was absolutely fearless before. Now, he's VERY mindful of both his cardio and of getting hit. Both of which are good things. But, after losing to Ward twice he had to accept that his cardio is not on that level. That his body is soft. That his inside game isn't on that level.
After getting ko'd by Alvarez, he accepted that his chin isn't impervious.
It's so obvious that he and his trainer are compensating for these things. You can HEAR it in the way Buddy instructed him during the fight. Get educated in the science and this stuff will become petty obvious.

Kov boxed more or less the same against Chilemba, Ward and Hopkins as he did against Alvarez in the second fight. He, as he and his trainer said, went back to the basics and started boxing instead of looking for a KO. All the Ward robbery did was piss him off and he went headhunting for his next 4 fights. It took the Alvarez KO to really let him know he needs to change. Pretty obvious stuff here as far as analysis goes.
But anyone who co-signs the robbery in the first Ward/Kov fight is not anyone to take seriously as far as boxing analysis goes, and is clearly someone who backs fighters and results purely on skin color. Root for whoever you want, but as far as analysis goes your opinion is obviously biased and irrelevant.

Giving that worn out line tries to give credence to the belief that the Ward fights took anything out of Kov, when, as he showed against Alvarez, he is actually better than ever.
It is fair to say the 2nd Ward fight and the Alvarez fight changed Kov's approach somewhat, and forced him to change his mindset and consider his weaknesses and adapt his game. But to say that 'Kovalev can no longer krush and has had to take a much safer approach proves he's not the same fighter. That said, I'm really glad to see him adapting.' shows that you are not a serious person analytically as Kov did as much damage against Alvarez in fight 2 as he did against Ward (1), Chilemba, and Hopkins.
He went back to doing what he always did and clearly the Ward fights had a mental impact on him but just as clearly they had no physical impact on him. The Ward stans seem to be having a hard time with that.
Continually attempting to marginalize Ward is making u look buffoonish. So my question to u is, is it worth losing what little credibility u may have left just to try to drive home what’s obviously a false narrative ?Last edited by SugarRaRobinson; 02-05-2019, 11:31 PM.

I’m sure there are multiple factors y Kov isn’t the fighter he once was, and Ward is DEFINITELY one of those factors, but not the only factor. Age, partying/drinking, stubbornness and self doubt r some other factors.
Actually, I’m going to redact self-doubt from being its own independent factor, because that’s the same as the Ward-factor who obviously initiated it.Last edited by SugarRaRobinson; 02-06-2019, 06:20 AM.

You really don't know shyt about boxing and you're making one desperate reach after another. You're getting emotional because everyone can see you're full of shyt. Get help kid.

FYI, the same fans not calling Alvarez dirty are crying that the judges robbed GGG. Its lame excuse after lame excuse for why GGG isn't the ATG they made him out to be before he proved it.
