    Hard to see how anyone can last with Kovalev without going into their shell for most of the fight, but its just as hard to imagine Ward not being able to impose his game and shutting shit down. Man I cant wait for this fight.

      jimmo85 boom you've hit the nail on the head mate!

      jimmo85 Chilemba lasted 12 rds without going into a shell.

    • @musicmusic6595
      @musicmusic6595 7 років тому +5

      chilemba was in a shell pretty much the whole fight, all he did was run and get shut out.

    • @tankboxingandsports7278
      @tankboxingandsports7278 7 років тому +1

      Music Music no sir Sergio was clearly out boxed for 12 rounds by chilemba. Chilemba is the first true lt heavy that kovelev has fought. Hopkins was a middleweight and pascal was a super middleweight. If he couldn't deal with Chilembas movement what is he going to do with ward or Stevenson ?

    • @YungJuve
      @YungJuve 7 років тому

      You make a legitimate point, but Stevenson is busy avoiding fighting legit LHWs! Haha I wouldn't consider him on the same level in terms of movements inside the ring with the likes of Ward.

      jeffery guy how so? The way he speaks and breaks things down is done in way that makes it easy for new and seasoned fans to listen to and he tells a story too when he does talk about a fight

    • @round105
      @round105 7 років тому +1

      jeffery guy dude I hate max Kellerman, there was a fight I saw and this guy had won a minor world title. that was the fighters dream to be a world champion and max comes in for the interview and says the belt is a small world title and means nothing. basically telling the guy that the belt is useless and he shouldn't consider himself a world champion. Max is a piece of shit. never stepped on in a ring.

      WARD WINNING SOME ROUNDS UNLIKE HOPKINS LOSING EVERY ROUND,
      REMEMBER,3 BIG MISTAKES.
      I KNOW THEM, JACKSON KNOWS THEM.ANDRE ISN'T EVEN AWARE OF THEM!!
      WITH ALL OF WARD'S SKILLS, HE'LL BE EXPOSED FOR A FEW KINKS.

      ward's not going to win 7 rounds. maybe 5. the power is too much for Ward and sergey will land ENOUGH shots to win a decision.
      true, ward is faster but doesn't have that numbing power and all it takes is a big kovalev right hand on the BACK of andres head to put andre either on the canvas or in defense A mode, can't win in defense mode with a big kovalev jab and huge right hand, You have to take it away from kovaev to beat him and andre doesn't have that strength or size to do it. This russian aint's no carl " the tomato can"Froch if ward thinks that.

    This is a hard fight to call , even by the experts . I felt that Hopkins did not get enough praise for lasting the distance in this bout. If pushed I will go for Ward because of how smart a ring general he really is . I was pleased he took this fight , because Karl Froch had made such a deal about him being terrified and he would never face Kovelov for any amount of money . This is the 2nd time he has shown that Froch still bears him some ill will for having beaten him with ease ,

  • @J2dADispora
    @J2dADispora 7 років тому +10

    Ward roughed up Carl Froch, who was supposedly the bigger man. Beat the breaks off of Kessler, who was supposed to be too big of a puncher for him and schooled Abraham. He also schooled and outboxed a durable Chad Dawson. He's had bigger tests in the earlier stages of his career, when he was even less experienced. What does Kovalev can bring to the table that Ward hasn't already faced and defeated? More size, a punch, aggression..? I think Ward takes this one, easily. Ward has been tested, Kovalev is still an unknown quantity. Beating a smaller man in Pascal and a pensioner in Hopkins proves nothing.

    • @BoxingScientist
      @BoxingScientist 7 років тому

      The Mujin Windrusher This right here us why I give Ward the edge. But the puncher brings high stakes drama to the show if he lands clean!

    • @J2dADispora
      @J2dADispora 7 років тому +1

      R. Virk Don't get me wrong, Kovalev has every chance of beating Ward. And I think this is going to be a great fight. But for me, Ward has taken the bigger tests and looked abominable in his performances. Kovalev looked a little perplexed from the craft of Chilemba. I've seen more holes in Kovalev, but, I can't wait for this fight.

      King Naka man its not just a good fight. its a rare fight nowadays. two guys that have no loses in their career decide to challenge each other instead of making "correct management choices" and picking some too old/too young/less professional guys to blow up their own KO record. boxing is full of shit like this, it is so refreshing to get that kind of fight from time to time. i think that the media coverage is actually great this time, lots of preshow meladramatic trailers where they compete who had more misarable life and stuff, with "this is my first gym" stories. =D i cant wait to see who wins!

    He's been a legit, top-level guy for quite a while now!
    No disrespect to Kovalev, but it's frustrating when people get too caught up in the hype of athletes with amazing win / KO streaks and forget about others.

  • @jasonhounsell3297
    @jasonhounsell3297 7 років тому +6

    Never bet against someone like Ward, what makes them a huge force isn't always athletic ability, its the same as Mayweather, Ali or Hagler, their desire to win and be the best, there is no comparison, They don't get hit and give up, they don't meet competition and give up, they just won't admit they can't control something or someone. This is also the same makeup of business's, why most business's fail, they all want to be the best, but only a small percentage have that drive to never back down. The confidence they speak of is not unfounded its because these men have never given up or admitted defeat in life.
    Very skilled boxers like Roy Jones didn't have this quality and it made them beatable, seasoned pro's like Hopkins don't have this quality either, they win on sheer experience and athleticism.
    Kovalev looks like a very skilled and hard puncher, world class. Ward looks like a intelligent man who doesn't know how to lose. So I think when it comes to it, Ward has this huge advantage because they want back up, they want to win so badly it means they force themselves to adapt to anyone and overpower them. The same as Ali even after Fraizer 1. Same as Floyd or as Hagler (Hagler however wasn't scared to lose, he was determined to prove everyone wrong, and never managed to do it enough)

This fight is coming up. Lomachenko vs Walters. Joshua vs Klitshko. Garcia vs Thurman. GGG vs Canelo. All on the horizon. Mayweather's 50th also imminent. BOXING IS ALIVE AND WELL.

      @oscarspark2396 7 років тому +7

      veniblanco don't count him off all of a sudden. 50 year old bhop can still easily outpoint most young boxers in that weight. Only a few years ago people would talk about him being one of the best technicians available. And he is a great technician regardless of his age.

    Unbelievable fight. Both fighters are in their prime right now which should make the fight amazing to watch. Kovalev cuts the ring off and blitzes his opponents and is a murderous puncher and has a solid jaw. Ward has very good skill and is difficult for anyone to beat. I am picking Ward to win on points because he seems to do best against fighters who have a similar style to kovalev.
