Comments Thread For: Kovalev Rips 'Sofa Experts,' Says Chilemba and Ward Are Similar

[Combat Talk Radio]

I just hope Ward/Krusher don't turn into Pac/mayweather! boring fight where kovalev doesn't show up, is largely inactive and domesticated and ward wins by easy work Decision!!! looking fwd to a great scrap!

I don't think you have anything to worry about IF the edited quote is what you really meant. Since that's what happened to Manny

Chilemba and Ward similar?

Ward would never allow a guy like Miranda to land 32% of his power punches against him lol.

miranda hurt ward several times during their fight and had him holding on.

does kovalev really have to step it up that much against ward? Please tell me what wards done in last 5 years that makes him so great, and let me know the elite competition hes fought that prepares him for this fight? Kovalev should be clear favourite.

You're really trying to convince yourself of that aren't cha buddy.

preach big lou!!!!

Really, lol
Lou is the dumbest MF on this entire site, so for u to be lauding him speaks volumes about your iQ

I would imagine it's extremely hard for Kovalev to stay sharp and focused against fighters he knows he can beat without really focusing on them, such as Chilemba. Make no mistake, he will be razor sharp against Ward. Ward will have to pray to his heavenly Father to pull out a win.

Ward doesn't run.

Poor reflexes, slow hands and bad footwork aren't things you can change overnight. These are the types of things you are either born with or learn at the amateur level.

He is likely comparing the fact that they both have good movement, have good defense, slip punches well, etc. He said they were similar, not that they were the same in terms of talent. I'm sure he damn knows Ward is a much better, much tough fight.

Sofa experts would disagree lol

[Bipolar Hero]

Ward is levels above Chillemba that's not debatable. Kovalev is going to have to be on his A game against Ward.

Miranda is my favorite fighter of all time, but Ward put on a clinic that fight, he was never in trouble. It was Ward's 1st time stepping up and Miranda was actually closer to his prime too.
