Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Canelo's Fighting Sergey Kovalev, Not 'The Krusher'

[PunchyPotorff]

the guy is an egomaniac. ward, like conor and mayweather, become so full of themselves and their heads become so far lodged up their own asses that they start wearing big round glasses - "Mhmmm yess, quite. I found his performance, frankly speaking, very droll and uninspired. *sips red wine from diamond glass*"
m8, we saw you lose to krusher and then smack him in the balls fifty times in the rematch, we dont need you to comment on every fight as if you are the supreme knowledge on anything and everything boxing.
nothing more cringe than seeing people wear glasses to appear 'more smarter', they always carry themselves like such pretentious *******s.

Yeah like I said elsewhere... this is easily the most pathetic fighter rundown by Ward I've ever seen. Kovalev landed a BUNCH of body shots on Yarde.

And here's Ward PRAISING Kovalev:
Andre Ward praises Sergey Kovalev's speed and focus after defeating Anthony Yarde, saying that "Kovalev still has a lot left in the tank" and it showed in his fight against Yarde.

And here it is, PROOF Kovalev landed a BUNCH of body shots on Yarde... even if the commentators INCLUDING WARD ignored them.....

And did you notice in that clip how they stopped round ten SEVEN SECONDS EARLY, saving Yarde?

Ward can spew a false narrative all he wants, I am NOT buying it. He's just mad there are rumblings about him smacking Kovalev in the ballz a BUNCH during their 2nd fight. So now he just has to say derogatory things about Sergey. Total b.s. Ward just needs to grow up and admit he isn't the great analyst he thinks he is.

Thanks for sharing that film study in Kov's body punching last fight. Interesting.

Considering, Kov's focused again and his trainer mentioned the will come with a body attack, I can see Canelo running from Kov all night trying to make it to the cards.

Looking forward to this fight!!

[Butt stuff]

Ward obviously knows what he's talking about, but Kov is known for that ramrod jab to the body – he's even stopped people with it? Though I don't remember seeing it in any of his recent fights tbh.

[SceneBoxer]

i didn't read the article but i agree with Ward that Kovalev is not the old Krusher. Kovalev is not much of a Krusher anymore these days, he's now a much calculating smart fighter as a result of his KO losses. But even that I still pick Kovalev to stop Canelo in the middle rounds...

[CaptainWalrus]

What I’m about to say has nothing to do with Ward because I’m still a fan of his.

It doesn’t matter how many intricacies Canelo haters bring up, the facts still remain, there are no other 160-168 fighters whom called out Kovalev.

If Haymon and PBC shills swear by PPV and it’s strength then why didn’t Haymon offer Charlo vs Kovalev a nice guarantee plus PPV upside?

If the LDBc claim to run narratives in boxing, then they would easily, in theory, help sell Charlo vs Kovalev as strong as Spence vs Mikey. That’s a fact. Kovalev is getting $3mil guaranteed plus extra. So Luis Ortiz could make that but not Kovalev?

You guys sit on them apples for a second. But if you Caneo haters choose to be in denial, then perhaps sit on bananas instead.

Ripe or rotten banana?

[PRINCEKOOL]

I picked Yarde to beat Kovalev for all the same reasons and more, but Yarde is a real LH with some pop. Now I'm going with Kovalev because Canelo isn't a LH and isn't scaring anybody at 175. If Kovalev blows it, I won't feel bad. He's getting paid enough to do anything, including humble himself in search of rematch money. Actually, he wants to get robbed on world wide TV, that would play right into his pockets.

Canelo does not really fight at a pace ether, it is not as if? He is going to be pressuring Kovalev in every second of every round. Yardie is a quite intense fighter, and somehow Kovalev to his credit out lasted him 'He out endured Anthony Yardie' the manner in-which he won that fight, would of given him self belief coming into this fight tonight.

[CaptainWalrus]

Dilemma! Masvidal vs Diaz or Canelo vs Kovalev?

[GlassJoey]

The Krusher that Ward fought is still looking for his nuts in the ring

[SteveM]

Kov is not the same fighter as he was pre-Ward. He is 3 years more past his prime with a KO and tko.

On the other hand he'll have more ring smarts after fighting Ward and Eleider twice.

[hugh grant]

Yes, there's always a trade off. Nelo fighting past it but still good krusher. But he is stepping up. Just like rjj fighting John ruiz and not lennox lewis. Like Floyd fighting Pac who hadn't koed anyone for years and gun shy not far removed from jmm ko.
It is what it is.
