Great analysis....glad to see you took my advice and you're wearing your hat correctly. Personally I'm with Ward in this one. First of all, I'll take the American 99% of the time over a Russian which I guess makes me a nationalistic ape, but there it is. Kovalev is a demon in the ring, and beats nearly everyone on the planet, but speed usually beats strength and Ward wins in that department. He will control the distance and the jab, which you pointed out are two major elements in this bout. I said on another thread that Ward wins in Bhop-Pavlik fashion. There is a 20% chance of that happening. 40% chance of Ward winning a UD in a close fight. 30% chance the Krusher wins a UD in a close fight. 10% chance of a Krusher KO over Ward. So it's 60/40 in favor of Ward.
"At or very near their absolute primes." Ward is a good bit past prime. Unless he has just been holding out on us.
Yeah, the songs are pretty awful. Although surely you must have enjoyed these 3. This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
Reminded me of a Lynch film, but it also in parts reminded me of the soundtrack from the old Gene Hackman film. I think it was called The Conversation.
Seriously, 20 minutes of that face interspliced with less than 1 minute of footage. Who can watch that?
