Listen! If Ward loses I will be here to take my licks and admit I chose the wrong man and praise Kovalev. I can do that because, I love boxing and I like Kovalev. I'm not picking Ward to win for any other reason except I think he's the better fighter. I'm pretty sure if Ward wins you will be the one to abandon this site not man enough to show up and give Ward credit for the win. If you do show up you'll just keep up all the ward hate and try to twist the truth! That's what guys like you do! Not a real man! Just a pretend man!
Ward looks thick, definitely a full 75 pounder Pumped for this fight! Still going with Ward UD, but pulling for Kovalev, boxing needs scary guys like him
If the referee does his job, Kovalev wins by TKO. If Ward is allowed to head butt, hold, throw elbows, etc. Ward probably wins by decision. Personally, I have Kov winning by TKO.
Always. The thing was though, both Pascal and Hopkins were very disrespectful, with their aggressive ways that's why it didn't even get so far. He thought that Ward at least had some class but he was wrong. Refusing the handshake, as a man in his early 30's, who has the privilege to earn millions of dollars for doin a sport. I am very, very disappointd and cheer for Kovalev, a real sportsman. It's not the UFC ffs!
It's laughable that you claim to care for boxing, yet you are here excusing the words of a man who wants to sell the sport down the river. A man who has appealed to all fighters, to think of their pockets first before concerning themselves of striving to achieve everlasting legacy. Know that I have no issue with Ward as a person, as I believe he is a good man at heart. However we cannot ignore that has mind has been poisoned by men such as Virgil who impart such a philosophy; for had it not, questionably we would have witnessed even greater spectacles with him tested against many more great fighters.
Ward looks the bigger man in fact. He also looks bulky and fleshy, he's probably going to look huge.. Is this a good or bad thing? It can mean slower and bigger target... Ward might be going for bully boy tactics here and outmuscle. SK . I wouldn't be surprised if the script was flipped here and SK became the hunted boxer. I suspect this fight might throw up a few hum dingers..
Perception is everything so I'm not the least bit surprised some fans see fear from Ward, its a hilarious concept because all boxers experience a degree of anxiety before a fight. I believe its healthy for a fan to think this way as it adds to the fight night allure for them....it builds confidence in themselves and their selection.
Your definition of charm is relative to your surroundings, family, friends etc.....if you asked me the same question SK has the charm and depth of a sand stone compared to Ward. Of course you make a good point he doesn't speak much English so it unfair to make the comparison. I've seen countless interviews with Ward and he seems like an intelligent, progressive deep thinking man with solid values and morals. The cognitive biased you've created for yourself regarding this fight will help comfort you once your ego gets shattered (again) if SK does end up losing. I'm still leaning towards SK 55/45 solely due to Wards combination of inactivity and lack of high quality opposition. Still if you're a Poker player you know you'll take 45/55 odds in a heartbeat.
Ward looks a like making 175 has really helped him. Kov looks gaunt but I expect him to rehydrate with no problems. As far as who said Ward is shook. YOU'RE A DICK RIDER! LIKE WE CARE WHAT YOU THINK. #DAFUQ
I've just watched the clip of the stare down and looking at Ward's expressions I can clearly detect he's thinking: 'Is a rhino on roller blades faster than cheetah wearing work boots?'.
