I'm not sold with Kovalev dominating Ward

Hopkins is slicker and trickier and more awkward than Ward and Kovalev outboxed him. Kovalev will do the same to Ward. And KO him.

 

Kovalev is the very definition of a Boxer-Puncher. The guy has a size advantage, never gets outboxed, has knock out power and moves around well. Andre Ward will never go to 175 as long as Beterbiev and Kovalev are there.

 

Hopkins at 175 can defeat Ward... Wards best win was against a non-technical Carl Froch who wins his fights by having an iron chin and a heart made of steel, complimented by two steel fists.

 

lol Lay off sniffing the airplane glue.

 

:yep

 

So he's got an iron chin, a steel heart and two steel hands. WTF is he, a robot? You forgot steel *****.

 

Maybe he is :think

 

I favor Ward but it's 50/50

 

Ward wont even face Kov I'll bealive it when I see it

 

Box4Life, you are talking about someone that fought Kessler, Abraham and Froch.

I think Ward will seek out the biggest challenges soon.

 

Kovalev can keep distance and nullify Ward's duck-n-rush , and throw long hard shots to the body with either hand which nullifies a good bit of Wards AAA class upper body movement.

Without either of those attributes of Wards being key cornerstones of his fight game, he will be at a severe disadvantage against any top shelf comp. KOvalev is all wrong for Ward stylistically.

 

Ward would KO that Russian robot. Beep Beep.

 

Keep on playing Ward cheap but don't bet against him or you might find your pockets a little lighter after the fight. Ward is not slick, what he is, is well balanced and technically sound with the ability to think and adjust. He is a handful at 175 and a nightmare at 168. Kovalev is not a shoo in to beat Ward.
