What concerns me about Kovalev is he couldn't make the adjustments after Ward made his. In the second round when Ward got dropped, Ward came in with the jab and tried to follow it up with the right. This kept Ward in the pocket long enough for Kov to let the right go. If you notice, Ward never tried to use that 1-2 up top again. He adjusted his attack with a lead jab or left hook and would duck down and either work the body and hold or just hold. By ducking down immediately Kov shot the right over the top of Ward. I think if Kovalev uses the jab up and down and is first, he will prevent Ward from using that attack. He needs to be patient and wait for Ward to try to counter the jab to the body, this will keep Ward in the pocket long enough for Kov to throw the right when Ward is in an exchange and not trying to duck low. I also think if Kov comes out guns blazing Ward will make it a very ugly fight and this may work against Kov if he doesn't get Ward outta there early. I don't think Kov's stamina is on the same level as Wards, but he may have that covered in the rematch. I said it once and I'll say it again. I can't wait for this fight!
Yeah and if Ward does win convincingly the Kov lovers will just say Kovalev was sick, had 2 broken toes, a broken rib and a lung infection. LOL
SOB is full of crap, he not only refused neutral judges, but he also picked a prejudiced referee..................
Agreeing with farmboxer logic does wonders for your ESB credibility. You're a good boy Todd simple and good.
The fighters he's mentioned are top 10 but not top 5. Rigo hasn't had a noteworthy fight since beating Donaire. Crawford whilst a 2 weight world champion has a paper thin resume. Ward himself is definitely top 1-3.
Well I'm not like certain other validation seeking dorks here on this boxing forum And I'm guessing agreeing with 'Caper logic' would be better?? I guess I'll stay against the grain there guy
lol oh quite the contrary the day you agree with my logic is the day I know I've reversed my progress towards self actualization. Lmao! You're a good dude like cooked food cheers.
