    I never said nothing about his promoter. He fights on Showtime under Haymon. Same as Fonfara.

    Why is Krusher fighting weaker tune ups than Ward:huh

    Unified Champions don't take tune ups. A tune up for a lower divisional guy just adds insult to injury:tired

    Easy win for Ward this, Cleverly is too much of an easy target to hit and Ward is elusive. UD for Ward IMO.

    Fail again, Chilemba is managed by Jodi Solomon not Haymon. He usually fights on HBO, fought several times on Kovalev's undercards (Pascal I, Caparello).

    Chilemba is a good preparation for Ward. He is awkward, slick, tricky, hard to look good against him and he is durable. This is a solid and reasonable tune-up. Unlike Cleverly who offers nothing to prepare for Krusher.

    Shouldn't be fighting any tune ups or interim fight but Ward isn't ready because he chose inactivity for 18 months:lol:
    Also, Kovalev already dealt with Ward's next great tune up opponent rather easily 3 years ago

    So.....

    In terms of value, and in terms of expanding Sergey's LOC......

    You believe he'd be better served KTFO a china chinned, GirraffeNeck(IB*) Polish fighter who has been KO'd by a journeyman, downed hard more than a 1/2 dozen times, and couldnt dent Cleverly, yet demands more money than most and has had a recent title shot vs the lesser LHW titlist......

    Than Chilemba, who's been in way tougher throughout his career, never down that I can remember, and is a slick fighter who's always right in the fight........


    Hmmm......I wonder.....

    why do you hate Kovalev?

    He is so far removed from the K2 that it's incomprehensible. :huh
     
  10. Did you really need to add the at Oakland bit in the title. Like we couldn't have guessed that ourselves :lol::lol:

    How do i hate Kovalev now? He's a top quality operator.

    But a spade is a spade. He ducked a Fonfara to fight a guy coming off a loss. At the least he could've fought Alverz , but he chose the loser instead :huh

    Thats weak sauce bro and you know it. Fonfara was a bigger and better fight than the two of those guys put together

    Yeah but what is the tuneup for? He's fighting arguably the best P4P fighter in boxing next for big money. I'm not mad at him for taking on Chilemba.

    He was good enough for kovalev and fonfara to fight wasn't he? Ward is fighting kovalev next after cleverly are you going to criticize kovalev for fighting chilemba as if he's any better?

    I am pretty sure that Chilemba is going to last more than 4 rounds against Krusher.
