ya i mean ward looked good but there is no way around fact that he was very rusty. all we heard all week was how aggressive and active barrera would be unfortunately we didnt get to see that

he threw 800 punches bro..dont take ward's credit away..u cant get more active than 800punches vs a target that is not a sitting duck for you to unload. and anytime he did unload ward won the counter battle much more than not.

i dont take anything from barrera i give all the credit to ward in this one. he was schooling him with just enough movment and sitting right in the pocket hurting the bigger puncher

I actually went to the fight and had a pretty decent seat so I saw all of the action, so here is my honest report: Andre's right hand was non existent (but it didnt matter because he was landing the jab and left hook all day long) Andre never appeared to hurt Barrera but somehow seemed to keep Barrera at a distance and unwilling or unable to put together punches. Andre has enough pop to get respect but nowhere near enough to beat a kovalev IMO-and I am A fan of Andre BUT I have to admit that watching Andre is like watching the San Antonio Spurs, they both play and win at a championship level but it can be very hard to watch-VERY hard to watch

Kovalev KO's lil Ward !

[Butch.McRae]

Ward has no pop yet he dropped probably the strongest (in size and physicality) LHW out there with a hook that didn't even land flush in the second round. You guys are hilarious lol After that Barrera became ultra defensive and was getting completely outclassed.

The truth is Kovalev is not in the same class as Ward as a boxer and its obvious. Strength doesn't mean at thing if you can't land any good shots. Based on Kovalev's performances in the past he hasn't shown anything to suggest he could actually get to Ward. When they meet it will be an easy win for Ward. UD in 12 rounds.

Which is exactly what happened to Barrera last night, and the exact same thing would have happened to lil'G, and Sanchez knows it.

Ward will be right in that fight, Kovalev will be the one with questions to answer.

Sucks that Ward/lil'G didn't happen, there woulda been tonnes of dumb money floating around for that fight.
