Ward is no ducker and hes a top elite boxer but i think he will regret signing the fight, when hes actually in the ring with the KRUSHER! it wont be pretty for andre. I tell you now this doesnt last 7 rounds. Ward gets Annihilated, KRUSHED. :bbb
I think Ward will have some success until he gets hammered by a big shot. I have doubts about his ability to take a hard punch from The Krusher.
Kovalev wanted to show that he can box and he respected Bernard's career and age, which is the reason he didn't look for the knockout, except in round 12 when he showed his tongue. With Ward it will be different though. Kovalev is icecold. He hates arogance and disrespect of this sport and the other fighter. Ward is a terrible human being, the epitome of arrogance. Kovalev will finish him quickly and give everything from the beginning, punishing him with his power. This fight doesn't last more than three rounds.
No kovalev will punish him slowly for his lies, arrogance and cowardice. Nevertheless his kovalev will duly remove this thug's blasphemous blacked soul within the 12 round duration.
It's good that you give Ward some credit, unlike the Goon Squad. I'm not even going touch that last part, but I will put this out there regarding it.:nono
It sounds like you didnt get anything out of his gym bag you took from his car at the olive garden, huh hater? What did you expect? A belt?:rofl
God, make this fight as fast as possible. Then you can go on and hype Thurman because he has a Black father.
Ward's HBO extension was announced as contingent on him fighting Kovalev. So if he doesn't he'll be backing out of his contractual obligation and ducking. But Ward's an honourable champion and great fighter, and I think is aware of the doubters and looking to prove them wrong. If he fights and beats the bigger, harder-punching, classy Kovalev in 2016 it'll be a career defining, hall of fame worthy accomplishment. And a lot of fans and posters here will have a lot of crow to eat. Big props to Kovalev too. Sure Ward's coming up from 7 lbs south, but he's by far the best, most accomplished competition for Kovalev to prove his own generational greatness. Maybe Gonzalez-Inoue tops it for a few hardcores, but I rate Kovalev-Ward as simply the best fight in boxing.
Does Kovalev have to go ahead and agree to 50/50 split right now for a fight sometime next year/18 months?
