Ward has little chance of beating Kovalev

ward is on borrowed time.

 

Ward is going to have to fight kovalev on the inside and smother his power make it an ugly fight and use his superior athleticism to score on the outside then go back inside.

 

he can't clinch Kova off, like he likes to against punchers.
And at distance he can't do much either with that jab constantly in his face.

I actually begin to think it would be horribly onesided as well.

 

I can't see ward beating him either too small Stevenson has he better chance even though he's on the way out

 

it won't go to the cards. odds are ward never even shows up.

 

Hell no ward is too good to be obliterated kovalev knows ward can box he will be patient. Kovalev is smart to.

 

I think Ward pulls it out, but Kovalev is truly a beast. The only fighter out there that gives me pause when I think about Ward beating.

 

Will Ward get in the ring though?

 

this is a great fight and could be a great s****. but kovalev destroyed pascal without getting out of second gear. ward could be in trouble

 

Kovalev will take the Ward fight serious again, you will see a Kovalev like agaisnt B-Hop, just that he goes this time for the knockout. Ward can't take thse shots.

But let's no talk like Ward will fight Kovalev 100 percent. He has to win his next fight first and his opponent is not Paul Smith.

 

Ward's difficulties will be Kovalev's jab, a good jab has always been the reason he has lost rounds in the past - and the fact that Kovalev is just immensely strong and has a mean streak. Bullying Kovalev will be very, very difficult.

Ward's advantage is handspeed, and a lower center of gravity.

I favor Kovalev to win, because of the jab though -especially the jab to the body. As long as Kovalev keep his jab centered low and doesn't let Ward get away with too much weaving low and in and out it will be a very, very tough night for Ward.
