Sergei Kovalev vs Andre Ward - height and reach advantage?

I responded to the last installment of this enlightening conversation not a specific poster mr antagonist ....unfortunately for you I don't have any hidden agendas glazed over with clear insecurities inspired by a need to glorify my own culture.

 

then you didnt have to respond to anyones post, just wrote it:good:good

 

Dually noted, last thing I want to do is show favor to the ethnically oblivious.

 

I think KOvalev's success will come at mid range in
exchanging straight shots w/ Ward. Sergey can't try
and time Ward from long range all night while setting
up big shots. He has enough power to hurt Ward when
Ward is trying to establish his power jab while looking
for the right over the top. Sergey is busy enough to mix
in lead rights with that clean up straight-ish left that gets
slightly turned over at the last second, and that is where
Ward will get caught subtlely. It's at that point where KOvalev
may have to adapt to a sh-tty clinching and smothering fight
initiated my Ward. Trouble with that approach from Ward is
that he cannot muscle KOvalev in there or be the boss. Sergey
will push Ward off or back him up and cause the ref to break the
clinches. KOvalev KO's Ward if they meet. I'm 99% certain of it.

 

im 100% lol but youre definitely correct in the way it goes.

 

Should happen at 171-172.

 

Thanks, but i've learned never to say 100% certain because
of the mass corruption and BS politics in this sport.

 

Ward can weigh whatever he wants, but Sergey who's the
champ at 175 will weigh 175 or less. Catchweights are for
punks.

 

Very plausible however I believe Ward would be ahead on pts and Kova won't be nearly as productive as you folks envision it. It will take a couple of rounds for Kova to find his range and start landing telling blows. Once he finds a comfort zone he could certainly overwhelm Ward and win a TKO.

 

Wow, a big 175 pounder tkoing a 168 pounder!!! Holy ****!!! :nut

 

Kovalev dealt with Sillakh just fine :deal

 

:huh

Not sure what your getting at here, Kova surely does have the power to do it and his boxing IQ is above average. Sure he's not at Wards level in terms of boxing ability and versatility but not many are. I'm not necessarily leaning towards anyone at the moment though a TKO by the hands of Kova isn't out of the question.

 

I was being sarcastic. Saying that someone from a higher weight class can KO someone from a lower weight class, Wow!! What an accomplishment.

Klitschko KO's Lebedev too. Wow!!! :roll:

 

Yeah I know you where, just double checking. I'll get into my silly mode soon just been a crazy emotional week :rasta

 

Since when exactly did you become and authority on African history? Shall I assume you have a degree in the subject?
