How would you advise Kovalev on how to deal with Ward's lunging/bull-rushing tactics?

The russien tend to bend at the knees kova and GGG also usyk for some reason body movement isn't in theyre training

 

GGG V Lemuiex he needs to watch

 

Maintain range, step back and upper cut.

 

Take notes from Duran Leonard two and Ali Frazier 2,also monzon v briscoe for some techniques and also lol Camacho v everybody

 

I think Kovalev did fine on the inside neutralizing Ward by headlocking him or manhandling him. Obviously he got hit few times but it wasn't anything like what Ward was able to do to Froch or Kessler.

Kovalev needs to focus more on the outside, he needs to go for the kill and pressure Ward the entire fight, tire him mentally and give him less time to thing about setting up his (counter)attacks. Ward has no power to threaten him while Kovalev can knock him down easily if he hits him flush.

I don't think Kovalev has the proper physique to ever become a great inside fighter. His best punches are long straight punches that work at range. He just doesn't have good uppercuts.

 

Why you all salty CST, you worthless puss. What, you gonna ban him now because his opinion doesn't align with yours. You should bump up the article you wrote before the Ward/Kovalev in which your asserted that Kovalev will destroy Ward. Now that's funny!

 

Kovalev proved who was the far more talented fighter while ward proved who was the far tougher fighter who triumphed only because he proved his dog had much more fight than kovalev. With the drastic (as I pointed pre fight) difference is talent kovalev had zero excuse for letting ward EVER see the late rounds..

Kovalev should had destroyed him in a huge mismatch. Kovalev I believe fatigued from the mental pressure, imo.
If they rematch it's a 50/50 and that's only because the terrible weaknesses kovalev showed, now in back to back fights. Did he get old over night ?

I fully expected kovalev to fight every round like rounds 1 & 2.. ward fought exactly as expected but kovalev proved to be a level below truly ELITE fights. Ggg would 100% stop ward mid rounds, guaranteed

 

No he didn't do very good.

 

O

Only to ward fans he lost and will always be a bum and nobody,he got exposed and is a disgrace to boxing...to everyone else he did great in nutrilizing wards inside assualts,ward had 30%40% of inside attacks land,watch Kessler and froch vs ward he was inside all day

 

Do what all the Kovalev fans thought he would just knock Ward out. Isn't that what most Krusher fans thought he would do?

 

Wtf are you talking about loool! You actually think Kovalev proved his much more elite that Ward? Yet he managed to allow Ward to come back and snatch the victory after losing the first 4 rounds and a knock down.

You need to think about it more logically because you cannot say Kovalev is levels above Ward when he didn't school Ward or knock him out.

 

Or jab the top of his head, maybe step back and throw a quick check hook.

 

not fight in the usa

 

You have more faith in Ggg than he has in himself. By the way, Golovkin won't win more than two rounds against Ward.

 

You hit the nail on the head.
