Ward making Kovalev more and more angry

You talk like you have to deal with that on a daily basis. Good luck with that. lol

 

Agree with this. Kovalev seems to be a "stone cold killer" type rather than a "raging maniac" type. If Ward could goad him into spazzing out for the first few rounds and gassing then goading him would be a good idea.

But I don't think Sergei is an amateur and that he sees through Ward.

Never a good idea to give guys like Kovalev EXTRA motivation.

 

Emotion can be good for some fighters & disastrous for others. Hatton/FMJ. Hatton got caught up in the emotional side & it added to his defeat.. FMJ was all business. Cool & calm! Golovkin is like this too.. Very patient & methodical fighter!

Kovalev with a grudge is probably a good thing. He looked like he was coasting & barely leaving first gear in his last two fights. Looked quite bored to be fair.

 

I had it for two weeks, not anymore.

 

Kovalev was rattled by Silakh and Pascal and look what he did to them. Also when Hopkins provoked him in the last round of their fight Kovalev almost ripped his head off.

Some fighters fight better when they're emotional and angry.

 

Different Fighter in the second Boone fight too.

 

Also Kovalev is not even angry with Ward, he's disgusted by him. That's a big difference actually.

 

It's a good thing, Kov is gonna do less thinking and more beating this time, just what a lowlife like Ward needs.

 

Less thinking might get him knocked out. He should be thinking every second of the fight.

 

Silakh and Pascal are no Andre Ward by a long shot.

 

I thought only people with money like Floyd had hand picked judges.. Now everybody can get them like they sell judges at Walmart.. Every fight should have hand picked judges then not just the ones where the favorite or most popular guy loses...

 

Can't say for sure. Seems stupid but I think that's Ward's intentions. An aggressive puncher plays right into a counter puncher's hands.
