"SOG" Ward vs "King" Krusher Kovalev @ 175 lbs / 12.5 stone: Who wins?

[King_]

Can't wait for this fight to hurry up and come so Kovalev can easily outclass Ward and finally rule as the "official" P4P #1 by the non-believers. Ugh. Oh well, gonna be a fun 2 month wait.

Like when you guaranteed that Shafikov would beat both Vasquez and Barthelemy or more like when you guaranteed Postol would KO Crawford?
Face it, you're a cheerleader not a boxing fan.

Bro this fight has nothing to do with that. Crawford won legit, he is the better fighter. He completely outclassed Postol.

Shafikov got neutralized by his inability to get in and he could not do anything effective. its boxing, what do you want me to say?

I have been saying Kovalev is the best fighter in the world and would clean out 175 since before he even fought Campillo in the beginning months of 2013. Literally. In those exact words.

The time is now, Kovalev is ready to do it. I said Kovalev would beat Ward, Hopkins, Pascal, EVERYONE, i mean everyone, more then 3 years ago..... and it's happening just like that. Ward is the final nail in the coffin.

and I'm saying the opinion of someone who guaranteed Shafikov would beat both Vasquez and Barthelemy and swore Postol would KO Crawford (this is you) has ZERO value.

Grow up, not every fighter from the former Soviet block is great and not every great fighter is from there.

Judging from your posts, you're a cheerleader not a boxing fan.

Backing KOvalev, but can see Ward winning this, controversially, through cuts.

Expect tactical head-butting.

You're crazy, you have some kind of obsession with me, judging by EVERY single time I post you quote me on the same ****.... YOU are not the boxing fan since it bothers you so much, creep.

It's a message board, calm down bro.... People make dumb posts all the time. Not every post has to be serious.

Kovalev is NOT going to win because I say he is, you dimwit. Nor did Crawford beat Postol because someone on NSB said he would, wtf is wrong with you. Our opinions on here have absolutely no effect on how the fights actually play out dude. Hop off me.

I could give two ****s whether my posts have any value to you or if my prediction about Kovalev, Ward has any value to you or any other dumb ass on here. I said since before you even knew who Kovalev was that he would beat Ward, and I've gave a legit, real analysis as to why I believe that. Sorry, I don't feel the need to give analysis for every fight for every one of my posts..... I also don't feel the need to have serious boxing discussion on here at all, because I realized long time ago, that hardly happens, hence a lot of my "predictions," before.

With that said:


Easy work Kovalev

(once again, lets be real.... since my "predictions" bother you so much.... who's the one who's truly a cheerleader?) I could give two ****s about the "soviet union," you ****ing recluse, stop analyzing this forum so much, it'll lead to dumb ass posts like this. Even if I was a cheerleader.... who gives a ****? How about you go follow the REAL cheerleaders on this site making the same damn posts 24/7 every damn day for 365 days out the year. Until then, stfu and stop being mad that one single person said some random Russian (Shafikov) would beat your favorite fighters, wtf. Lmao.

I rate it 55/45 or 60/40 in Kovalev's favor, I could see him winning by KO as well as by UD. People turned their back on Kovalev after Chilemba fight, but than Ward vs Brand happened. Now Ward clearly outboxed Brand, but in the last 1/3 of the fight he tried everything he could to knock him out and he couldn't. He was so desperate and frustrated. Go watch in between round 11 and 12, Hunter is urging him to pressure Brand and knock him out and Ward got angry at Hunter, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The reason I mention Ward failing to KO Brand is because it really made me ask myself how is he supposed than to keep Kovalev off him if he can't make him respect his punches. The only way I see him frustrating Kovalev is with his movement and clinching. Chilemba is a real top 6 or top 7 fighter at 175 and he still lost 3 to 9 against unprepared Kovalev, nearly got knocked out, while Brand is a an unranked top 60 type of fighter.

Things that could play in Ward's favor are his movement, clinching, frustrating Kovalev with his elusiveness and counter punching, especially as I've seen Kovalev getting lazy a couple of times right after throwing 2 or 3 shots... Normally he does but it looks like sometimes he forgets to follow up with some kind of a defensive movement. I've seen a couple of times fighters nailing him just after he throws the straight right. Also his jab-jab-straight right looks kind of predictable. I've never seen Kovalev fighting on the inside so I'm imagining him having some problems with Ward there IF HE ALLOWS HIM TO COME THAT CLOSE.

Things that could play in Kovalev's favor are obviously his power, as well as Ward's non existent power, which makes me think it would be the reason why Ward won't be able to keep him off of him. Kovalev has faster feet, has two great straight hands, a jab and a straight right, so no matter how well rounded Ward is, despite the fact that Ward normally doing very good fighting from the outside, I see Kovalev winning tha battle at the long range.

You're delusional. Who is the one with the problem? Just because I made some random post last year saying that Shafikov would beat Vazquez and Barthelmy... means I think that? YOU clearly have some issues with certain fighters, and you're exposing yourself you ****ing idiot by being so bent out of shape by this.

ANYBODY who thinks what I just bolded in your post about ANY fighter from ANYwhere is obviously a complete moron, and I am certainly not one of those people. Please stop hating and how about YOU start to expand your views because you are obviously the one who thinks like that
