In a fight thats 50/50 i go with the one with devasting fight changing power. most great technicians ring IQ Genuises dont go into a fight with a 50/50 chance of winning, floyd was basically always favourite and he his better than ward by a quite a bit.

That's the way a "Krusher" should talk, not whine about how his opponent might fight him. Sounds to me like there are some insecurities there.

You remember wrong. He didn't have a peep to say about Hopkins fighting dirty before the fight.

Which brings me to......

The Madrigal Of The Krusher
A madrigal is a type of classical composition that was popular in Italy around the time of the Renaissance. They were highly unique, whereas many works of classical music follow a linear pattern gradually building towards a crescendo, a madrigal was usually polyphonic in nature, which means that there were 2 to 8 different singers singing at once and all in different keys and rhythms, they were through-composed, sticking to no pattern, continuously shifting it rhythms from stanza to stanza building unpredictably to its crescendo in a non linear fashion all the while retaining its complexity yet remaining hauntingly beautiful. These pieces could almost be considered early forms of jazz, only far more refined.

Sergey Kovalev fights like a madrigal, you may say to yourself, oh please Kovalev is a come forward plodder who relies heavily on his frightening power, he's nothing special....well you couldn't be more inaccurate in your assessments.

He is far more special a fighter than many of you seem to comprehend, I'll lay out what he does that's so unique and why you might not notice it. His footwork is brilliant in three different ways, 1st he cuts off the ring to perfection, he never follows, he corners and traps, 2nd he controls distance with his footwork beautifully, always bouncing just out of range to avoid an incoming punch, he's always close enough to hit you, but quite often he's out of there before you can hit him, and 3rd he does not need to set his feet to punch you, he uses the shifting technique to set down on his punches while moving forward, which is really hard and few can do. That is incredibly important key to his success as well as Golovkin's. Most fighters no matter how fast they are usually have to stop and plant their feet to get proper leverage on their shots to do damage even someone like Gonzalez or Pacquiao. Kovalev and Golovkin have both perfected the ability to shift and sit down on their punches while walking forward, which one of the main reasons their opponents have difficulty avoiding their punches.

His punch selection is also jazz like, its almost polyphonic, he's two fisted and can vary his punches with both hands and adjust them in midair to still find their target and inflict maximum damage. He's playing a tune on his opponent's head and body with a double barreled assault, and he throws in combination, uppercuts, right hooks, left hooks to the body and head, overhand left, overhand right, upjab, right cross, uppercut to the body, he's mastered almost every punch, and he's throws them with such a loose and fluid style and add in the directional changes it makes it hard for his opponents to estimate the time of arrival or its location of touchdown.

He also punches in a very unique hard to time syncopated style, whereas most fighter follow a standard jab jab cross beat, he offsets the rhythm by changing up the tempo of his punches, he instead punches like this... jab jab (slight pause) cross (slight pause) hook, therefore throwing off the opponent's reaction time causing them to either let down their guard or put up their guard too quickly, which opens up his intended target. Or he varies up the rhythm by doing two or three in a row half beat, and the last full beat, and the next combo half beat, full beat, half beat. Its a very subtle tactic, which thoroughly throws his opponents into tizzies completely confusing them, because they have no clue where the next punch is coming from, how hard it'll be, where to defend, what to leave open, they're in constant fear, which usually ends up overwhelming them and eventually they run right into a punch they never see coming, because its usually masked by a feint or two or three, which he's also brilliant at. And add to that Kovalev is also a skilled counterpuncher after all he almost KO'd BHop with a check right hook, that poor Bernard never saw coming. And he can throw a cross over a jab quite well to boot.

So therefore add in Ward's slight decrease in speed and reaction time due to his added weight, his tendency to fade late into fights, probable heightened cautiousness due to fear of counters, inability to get the unpredictable rhythm and timing down of a constantly adjusting virtuoso at setting an off kilter pace, Kovalev's excellent ability to open up intended targets without his opponents awareness, Ward's questionable chin and the fact than Kovalev might be the hardest P4P puncher in the sport, and Kovalev is literally the walking embodiment of a nightmare opponent for Andre Ward.

He cuts off the ring better than Kessler, he hits harder than Froch and Abraham, he's just as fast if not faster than Dawson, and most importantly, like Sakio Bika his offense has a broken rhythm which is almost impossible for a rhythm breaker to key into.

And if all else fails and Ward is able to figure him out, Kovalev can just walk right through him and bludgeon him from one side of the ring to the other like he did Hopkins in the 12th round.

Kovalev is Ward's journey into the heart of Tenebrae personified.

Ward will look like a rusty, blownup super middleweight in there with the most dangerous LHW since prime RJJ.

Kovalev TKO 9 Ward in devastating, violent fashion.
