Ward vs Kovalev - whos the favorite

Only way for Ward to beat Kovalev is get inside and push him backward. If I was Kovalev I wouldn't even punch at Ward's head. Punch at his right shoulder. I have a hunch that soft tissue is never going to heal 100%. If he can disable Ward's right hand by targeting the shoulder. Ward could find himself in a situation where he cant throw his right with force the fight will be over shortly after. Just stop it in the corner is the shoulder is not up to par. No need to go out and get laid down cold when you know your injured.

 

Which LHW belt does Adonis Stevenson have? I cant keep up with all these alphabets titles. atsch

 

Ward ran from Stevenson and Kovalev is much superior than Stevenson. Kovalev would have knocked Barrera out cold early. SOB has never fought anyone as good as Kovalev. Kovalev has the size, power, stamina, chin, defense, and on hell of an offense. Ward looked soft and Barrera was made for Ward. Ward did not really look good. Kovalev will hit Ward and knock the cheater out cold. Kovalev should not allow Ward to have the fight in his home town with his personal referee, judges, boxing commission, etc., Ward is a cheat............Ward is working on his headbutts, elbows, low blows, a lot..............

 

Ward is an orthodox fighter. Punching at his right shoulder isn't a good idea.

 

Obviously I was in error as Erdei had not retired as I previously thought. Doesn't matter because the winner of Hopkins Pascal II established a new lineage at 175 - which makes Stevenson the champ, NOT Kovalev...

 

Kovalev record is pretty weak when you look at it.
He shoulda fought superman instead of fighting warm bodies while waiting for Ward

 

Stevenson shot down HBO PPV 50-50 with a guarantee.

 

HBO wouldn't allow Krusher face Stevenson.

Kovalev hasn't got a better record than Stevenson either. Their records won't stand the test of time unless one of them beats the other.

 

Exactly.

No way does HBO promote a Stevenson Kovalev fight just to have Adonis KO the TOMATO KAN Krusher then take all that momentum back to Showtime/PBC/Haymon...

 

Yet that's exactly what they did and offered Stevenson the fight couple months ago? :beat

 

Cleverly had Kovalev looking a little discouraged until he was able to hurt him. I just watched the fight again.

 

Team Krusha pulled outa the purse bids. HBO and Duva haven't the kash to be wining purse bids against Haymon.

Sergey ducked that fight something terrible.

 

Adonis is almost like a LHW version of Corrie Sanders in the punch category.Both huge left hand happy guys with lots of speed and power when thrown.

 

Why is Adonis refusing ton fight on HBO when I'm starting to see other Haymon fighters popping up on HBO lately?:think Kovalev is bound by aHBO contract. He cant fight on Showtime. Adonis can fight wherever he wants. Its not that hard to understand!
