Ward initiated 99% of the clinching? Conversation over. I've seen you go all day with posters over lil stupid **** set in your head. Ward won, Kov lost. Deal with it.
All day? Ward got a gift, his fights are horrible and that's probably his first and only foray into PPV.
No he wouldn't and he won't even try. Kovalev had a reach advantage over Ward and still ended up being outboxed from the outside in the later rounds. Ward will have the reach (and size) advantage against Golovkin. Kovalev hits harder than Golovkin and Ward managed to handle this. Yes he was knocked down, but that won't give you the win and Kovalev didn't succeed in hitting him clean following the initial knockdown. Golovkin might have a better punch repertoire, but I think he would have a hard time getting to his target due to the combined skill and size of Ward. Lastly Golovkin is just too susceptible too counter punches. He is at times wide open when punching and this is very dangerous against a bigger man, with longer arms, who is a skilled counter-puncher.
Kovalev won the fight and it wasn't even close. Ward will probably get an WWE contract................Kovalev hurt Ward, Ward could not even blink Kovalev's eyes.....................the rematch clause will be enforced, they will probably have to sue Ward for the rematch because Ward does not want a rematch............well, Ward signed the contract.................
Golovkin never wanted to fight Ward when it maybe could have happened. What makes anyone think Golovkin would want to face Ward now that they're 2 divisions apart and that Ward is coming off a victory where he survived a knockdown from the most dangerous P4P puncher in the sport?
Even if Kovalev might be the most dangerous P4P puncher in boxing, by design I don't think he's the most dangerous due to his style. If GGG fought Ward, I'd expect a stoppage because GGG's face would be target practice for Ward, but GGG is more of a predator than Kovalev and would probably take more to give more. Should GGG tag Ward, he'd be more efficient in trying to finish off the fight IMO and there's little doubt in my mind that he could trouble light heavyweights with his power should he actually connect. Ward should be considered a heavy favourite but I see a win condition for GGG rather than it being a waste of time. At the moment though, the fight does appear to be a pipedream. Ward is utterly proven and GGG is still somewhat a mystery.
Golovkin had trouble against a relatively athletic fighter in Kell Brook, who's a tonne smaller, less technically gifted, has a worse chin and overall is a B- fighter. You honestly think Golovkin has a chance against Ward, the peak of the sport and who's bigger, the best technically gifted fighter over 140lbs and who can take a better punch than Brook, Lemieux et. al? If Golovkin made it past 8 rounds without his face falling off I'd be very impressed by him. He'd be a moving punchbag with wings for Ward.
GGG and ward are two divisions apart. The only comparison between them is theoretical...p4p comparison. GGG wins this comparison hands down.
There's no lie in this post. It's funny to me how people don't see this. It's easy to be a world beater of bums. Brook exposed a lot about GGG.
The best fighter, and this is by a very large margin , that Ward had ever fought is Kovalev . that's a fact. ggg has beaten the better fighters when your add amateur and pros together . And amateur is all about point scoring which is heavily favored towards the accuracy of fighters, much more so than the mauling style of ward. I don't think ward would be that much bigger than ggg especially in 2018, but huge problem rematch clause and now we know for sure wards never going to escape the ring against the much less technically sound Kovalev and less powerful Kovalev , compared between ggg and Kovalev , GGG is superior in every category except height and reach. Ward will never get another gift like that again, he won a few rounds, NON clearly.. give me 1 (ONE) clear ward round, just 1
So guys from different weight classes can't fight each other? What a load of chit. They both once fought in the exact same division. Ward fought twice at 160 in 2006. GGG was at 160 in 2006. They both have the same reach and their height is only separated by an inch. If Arthur Abraham can fight Ward , then so can GGG. The fact of the matter is you don't want to see GGG get a beating off the superior Ward. Neither does ggg himself. Thats why he avoided him like the plague and will continue to do so.
Yeah. Lets just get rid of those confusing old weigh classes eh? I guess you're right - I mean Kell Brook did exactly what you want to see when he moved up to compete against GGG, and it worked out ok for him right? ....er....um.....
Golovkin wins, yes. The shots Ward was successfully ducking against Kovalev are likely connects from the shorter Golovkin. Also, it pretty much goes without saying that Golovkin is a better infighter than Kovalev. As Darnell Boone has said, GGG wins over Ward and he wins by T/KO. There is no way Ward can escape GGG for 12 rounds, particularly given that GGG is the smaller and shorter man and Ward would not be able to slip underneath his punches.
