Kovalev needs to KO Ward to avoid getting robbed!!!

Sergey KRUSHER Kovalev will KO ward in 7-8th round

 

Gold medal

End of thread

 

If he establishes his jab and sticks to the body it's possible.

Although he clearly won 8 or 9 rounds vs chilemba he looked like a fool in there rushing things.
Establish the jab
Invest in the body
Open up around 7 or 8

 

Kov is the house fighter in Vegas? :rofl

 

Ward has never been the house fighter in Vegas either. So what is your point?

 

That Kov is not the home fighter.

 

yeah.. pretty much

 

That " 50 year old man" just happened to be the great
!!!!!!!!! BERNARD THE ALIEN EXTERMINATOR HOPKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!

atsch
EXECUTIONER, not EXTERMINATOR

 

Good question, looks like a Recs Box moment lol

I always wondered why folks stressed the Oakland thing so much as if Ward didn't or wouldn't dominate based on the location. I mean the strength of my extra leg would likely end up on the same angle if I was shagging J-Lo in Kansas vs the Bronx.

 

I agree SK needs to go for the KO to secure a win vs Ward, this may very well backfire but its really his best option. I tend to believe SK is an underrated "boxer" however I don't think his mind works at the same level as Ward for all 12 rounds especially when he's not in complete control. I personally had Ward winning the first encounter 114-113 and this conclusion involved several factors that fell completely outside those marginal compu box numbers that revealed negligible variances in punches landed and accuracy. I avoided providing Ward with additional Kudos for surviving the initial knockdown and strictly focused on who controlled the climate, pace and dictation.

SK certainly has the tools to make it a short night but can he execute and out will/out think and essentially tell his story instead of allowing Ward the opportunity to make him look desperate. I've watched the fight 3x now and one of the most glaring observations I've made has to be SK's inability to focus on the moment, he was too vested with past production from the early rounds and to worried about the unpredictable future rounds which hurt his ability to write an efficient and effective story in the current moment. Ward on the other hand took every opportunity he could to score and dictate pace while SK searched for alternatives.

I hope a rematch does happen.

 

see, anti kovalev.
