It's certainly a plan. I guess it depends on how confident he really is going into this fight. Personally I think he feels that's he's a class above Kov and is going to take him to school. He may well do this. I only see him resorting to a bad headbutt if he's getting comprehensively outboxed.
I find it funny that ward is considered the headbutt & clinch king But outside of the kessler fight & maybe the green & bika fight non of his fights have been foul filled & clinch fests All bika's fights are foul filled & ugly & he killed green who cares how he fought him ward doesnt usually fight like that anyway He didnt headbutt or hold froch or dawson & even in the Rodriguez fight rod was initiated all the fouls & clinching All of his last 3 fights was just clean boxing no running no clinching
These guys are trying to be covert assholes . They say they are not yet have 1000 inside jokes for every "urban" fighter alive. Remember Postol was a beast until the fight was official. Pacquiao was a beast until the fight was official. Froch was a beast. Sullivan was suppose to expose "old Ward". Kovalev is a killer until the bell then his win over old Hopkins and Clevery and **** goes out the window. Classic knob slobbers from the ESB Ult-Right Doc Martin squad. The minute you discredit Gennady though...
