Shut up, punk. You are one of the most mixed-up people on this site. You take this stuff so seriously you have to wonder if you have any outside life. lol
Kovalev just didnt look into it as much, Chilemba's jab didnt help. When you starting slow, which kovalev rarely ever does, and the opponent is boxing clever, especially a durable experienced one, you in for a hard night.
I take everything seriously, especially when I'm trying to make a cogent point and some heartless cretin like you like a ***got "lol's" the legit point I just made. Most of you ****wits on this site seem to have no practical understanding of emotions and how they effect fighters, they're human not ****ing robots, lol all you want now, but against Ward he won't have the fact that he's fighting in a place that he killed someone in looming over his head.
I didn't think this was the wisest move when I found out about it either and it only made that bad feeling I had about the fight a bit worse.
I felt weird about him going back to Russia in general when the Fonfara match was being rumored, this was a terrible opponent for Kovalev to fight if unfocused and when I heard in was in this arena, like you I got a really bad feeling.
I don't give the slightest of ****s about your opinion of me and my opinion. So I guess we're even. And yeah you're a bad person.
Golovkin. I actually prefer the pre B-Hop Kovalev to the one of today. He used to come out of the gate letting his hands go much more freely than he does of late. He's more a boxer-puncher these days whereas back when he fought the likes of Thompson, Campillo, Cleverly, White etc. he was more seek & destroy. He used to double and triple up on left hooks, banging whatever he could hit, arms, shoulders, gloves and it was very difficult for his opponents to defend against because it was hard for them to know where the next punch was coming from and he gave them very little respite from his marauding attacks. I honestly think he's overdone the strength work and lost some fluidity. I know his strength and condition coach pushes him really hard but I think he might be pushing him too hard.
