He did show up, and what we learned is that Kovalev is not the bigger man. This content is protected [/IMG]
He wasn't the bigger man against Sillakh, Cleverly, Chilemba or Campillo either, and.... oh wait, they all got brutalized.
That's not the point, Kovalev is not the bigger man as everybody once thought. So the size advantage goes out the window. This fight will be won by the man who fights better that night, and it will be Ward.
Exactly.. size advantage doesn't mean **** and won't mean **** cuz there aint so size advantage to begin with. Kova is good, but not good enough. Ward will beat him with smarts.
Skills only went so far for Brook didn't they? If Kovalev goes on the attack from the opening bell and sets a pace like he did in the 12th against Hopkins.... Ward won't see round 3. If Kovalev takes his time, Ward might see the 8th. Kovalev will land and land frequently, old or not, Hopkins isn't easy to land on and Kovalev landed more on him that any opponent to date. Like I said in my article the rhythm breaker will face a two fisted guy with an off kilter rhythm, his Achilles heel, this will not end well for the Son Of God.
Nice video but tries to be too sentimental and pretentious. "Oh my god a jab to the body, look Floyd did that too!!" With this sad music in the background.
You're right.... Ward's chin isn't as good as Brook's And unfortunately for Ward, Kovalev hits a lot harder than GGG.
