Jackson is dismissive of anyone reading too much into Kovalev's or Ward's last performances. He says the goal was to get the W and get here, the point for either man on those nights wasn't to look spectacular and they were saving it for the big stage against each other.
Rully noice to be hyur. Kovalev as usual sounds like he's drunk and doing a "hold marbles in your mouth" challenge with that Xtra thick accent.
Based on what? On the flip-side (even if what you said was true, which I don't agree it is), Ward is quicker, smarter, and more difficult to hit clean.
This is hilarious. Ward has been in with world class elite competition that have several different wrinkles to their games, including boxer-punchers before. "Ward.........never has anyone he faced brought the same heat and torque" Hmm if you go back before the Froch fight people said that as well, and Ward beat him 10-2 with a barely working right arm. The boxer who will be answering questions in this fight is Kovalev, not vice versa. If some of y'all think Kovalev fighting 48yr old B Hop, and a B level Pascal, will have him with the slightest idea of how to handle Ward--I think you're dead wrong. Kovalev, has nothing on his resume compared to one, and he will be the needing to dig down deep.
"I hope this fight is great for all of you, an honest fight with the best of us both." He says he is uncowed despite having never fought at this level , "HBO PPV is the highest ".
Nah , 55/45 for Ward i'll go with. The Krusher is good , but people don't wanna admit how similar his resume is to Da Pimp's.
Ward is talking up Claressa Shields, his fellow US gold medal Olympian making her pro debut on the PPV undercard.
Would love to know which 175lb Elite boxer puncher Ward has been in with ? Whilst i've picked Ward to win a decision, your analysis is way off, and you need to remember that Ward isn't the bigger man fighting smaller guys like he did at 168.
