there will come a time when Kovalev just says F it and walks through Ward

    The first couple rounds will go to Ward. They will both be feeling each other out. Kovalev will measure Ward's strength, reflexes, inside fighting, overall gameplan and skill level.

    Then sometime around the 4th round he will come forward. Take Ward's best haymakers which may buzz or even drop Kovalev. But eventually Kovalev will get him in range and then crush Ward.

    That's what many people are ignoring in this fight. Kovalev will be able and willing to eat Ward flush shots in order to land his own.

    Yeah in the 12th round when he realizes he needs a KO to win.

    I doubt it. Kovalev is a smart fighter. Kovalev may look out of sorts at times in this fight. He may get caught clean by Ward. None of that matters though because all Kovalev has to do is knockout Andre Ward.

    Another thing being ignored in this fight is Kov doesn't have the best of chins. Not saying Ward has tremendous power but it's enough to keep mostly all opponents he's faced honest. This fight is going to be great and I'm happy one quality match up between two top fighters is on display.

    Maybe it will be in the weigh in, when Kovalev doesn't like Ward's smug look and ends him there and then

    Kovalev definetly has underrared skills and ring IQ, but Ward also has underrated strength and pop. I doubt It'll be that easy for Krusher to walk him down.

    A 40 year old cab driver took Ward's best shots for 12 rounds so this is a possibility.

    Ward fans make me hope Kov knocks him OUT of the ring.

    LMFAO!

    This is just DUMB, why didn't Pac do that to Floyd when everyone says Floyd punches like a powder puff. Floyd almost knocked him out, Pac knew how hard he punched.

    Same thing for Ward

    Mayweather kept Canelo honest with his "powderpuff punches"
