lol I see the hate started nearly 2 years ago. Fast forward to today and the tone has changed. It's now about finding past fighters who would be Kov. Loving the EE man making dirty rats who think they tough shiver in their in knockoff Jordan's.
Ward is another American hype job. He has absolutely no chance against Kovalev, the strenght, power and reach advantage will overwhelm him. Even people who favor him admit now that he can only win this fight by making it an ugly fight, like that would work against Kovalev. Kovalev will beat him even easier than Pascal.
What I'd love to be able to bet my life on is that Kovalev could and would krush ward before the 10th round ends. I say could and possibly would because ward claimed everything with barrera was agreed upon, and they're currently waiting on the contracts to be completed, for Han****'s . I'll tell ya, the barrera fight is the 1st ward fight I didn't know was a waste of time, waste of time because the outcome was a guarantee. I was shocked when Boone had ward out on his feet, and out on his back. He's so lucky the ref even let him **** Boone to get our of the round. Since that fight, ward had not fought anyone that was a threat to any true top smw, non. He is in no way a man tooled or prepared to give himself even a remotely slim chance at competing for more than a couple rounds with a kovalev and even much worse shape for the king GGG. If ward is able to dismantle barrera in a way that makes it 2 completely different level of figgter, I'll give him a little better shot at seeing the final bell vs Kovalev. My only worry is ward will not beat barrera, killing the fights against one of the dudes I'd have a much better time watching destroy ward.. And I'm born and bred in the US, this must be reverse racism. Well, that's wrong, I'm Caucasian so I must hate blacks. But fmj is a top 5 all time favorite of mine.. Maybe calling it exactly like I know it's going to be is my own personal form of racism. Idk why I jumped in with the racism bullsh!t, I must have felt out of place with everyone yelling race this race that, fack your race
You said it and I'm glad you admitted it. Nobody is worried about Barrera. I suppose the day after Kovalev loses to Ward many will be in total shock. It's better this way.
I think its a very interesting fight I wasnt super impressed with Ward vs Smith. I thought he looked slower and did not do all that much in there. It could be rust but he had a long lay off and looked much better vs Rodriguez once the ref cleaned it up. I know Ward is the best defensive boxer but Kovalev is really good at controlling range and hits very hard. He had Hopkins down and hurt and completely disinterested in finding a way to win from a very early moment in the fight and was totally in control and probably carried him a little I think Ward will find a home for the left hook like Pascal did and keep Kovalev less active and more selective with his punches. However, Kovalev is a guy who doesnt need much to hurt you, he can graze you and hurt you and only needs one good clean shot to put a guy down and take them out of a fight I can see Ward get inside and land and make it ugly and see kovalev start slow and very cautious but I just think at some point he gets his right on Ward and drops Ward and finds a way to win
