It will be called ... "KO insert round number" or "TKO insert round number" Most of us know, that a guy who couldn' KO Paul Smith won't knock out a beast like Sergey. So, in which round do you think is Kovalev going to destroy Ward? And for the GGG haters who will invade this thread: No doubt for me, GGG beats Ward but in my opinion is Kovalev even much more dangerous and going to knock him out earlier. :good
Little G wanted nothing to do with Ward. Soon Ward will put on a clinic against Kovalev since Little G refuses to fight the Irish Billy Goat.
I don't know. If Ward is that outmatched where he feels the power, and is impotent on offense, I think he can probably outdo Hopkins in terms of survival. He has far better stamina than Hopkins, better control of distance, and a better offense with the left hand (although an inferior right hand, perhaps).
That could also be his downfall, there's a possibility that if Kovalev gets too frustrated by Ward and isn't having adequate success, he may go all out and do what he did to BHop in round 12 only a lot earlier. Kovalev has the skills to compete but if that ain't working his power is clearly great enough to be the equalizer and Ward's chin I don't believe is nearly as good as Hopkins.
