Ward should be a bigger favourite with the bookies

Well i have few problems with Ward being the favorite in this one :
1-He is inactive for years,fought very poor opposition 2-3 times for last 4-5 years.
2-He just moved up to 175 and will face big puncher
3-His chin is not the best already.
4-Hes the smaller man,reach,height and weight probably.

Other than that i agree,hes faster,better boxer,better stamina,can fight on the inside also,fights dirty as wel when needed,but not sure if that will help him now due to sheer size.

 

they are both 6foot tall

both 72 inch reach

ward is 1 year older.

weight is the same . dont know about figth night weight

 

Ward does not have a 72 inch reach. Kovalev had the reach advantage

 

71 1/2 i would say thats the same. you overly technical sob.atsch:rofl

The odds are correct. But, I actually favor Kov.

 

Kov is older right?

 

ward 1983
kov 1984

 

The little reach advantage Kov has won't help him because Wards hands are so much quicker, he'll get beaten to the punch everytime and countered/smothered when he does throw. Always thought Ward would probably beat Kovalev, but after watching the Chilemba fight there's no doubt in my mind. Might be controversial to say this but I see Kovalev getting schooled and barely winning a round. I rate Kovalev highly, just think Ward is all wrong for him.

 

You mean
Ward 84
Kov 83

 

I thinks its the opposite. but its only a year. what is more important is 150-0

 

:good. I just checked because I remember them saying that Kov was 33 for the Chilmba fight and kept hearing that Ward was a year younger.

 

:deal

 

Doesn't mean he's a bum, but he's about to get whitewashed by Ward. There's levels to this **** and everybody needs to see it.

 

I hope this is not a educational experience. This needs to be a epic fight for this generation which really dont have those kinds of fights to look back on and reference. (they only have purse snatchers judging how great a fight was by the number of ppvs:-()
