Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Coach: If Ward Can't Hurt Sergey, He's in Trouble!

[tiliheels]

... Kovalev waits until he figures out his opponent's stereotypes in movement... and as soon as Kovalev starts countering, shifting and hammering his "slick" opponent is paralyzed by indecision, anxiety and fear and fells into some sort of prostration...

That's how it goes... with Ward too -- but I doubt that Ward will enter the same ring with Kovalev eventually...

u keep going racial..im sure you listen to thunderdome..and u really dont understand boxing..u're "slick" term isnt fooling anyone..
the fact are this kovalev doesnt more his head, he lunges with his jab with his hand low, he uses very wide movement all around the ring..
but he doesn have crazy power, but with a prime fighter like ward(if he still is the same)..kov will have to show a new wrinkle u just cant be pacquiao like..thats is who he reminds me a lot of..he wasnts to be at range but never does any work in the inside but is easily smoothered and countered

All said & done the general public/fans are 95% behind a Krusher/Stevenson fight 1st, as to prove who's really #1 @ 175Lb. Ward to fight the winner!

Haha, Kovalev routinely drops people with jabs to the stomach and face. He has broken the nose of his last two opponents with a jab. Ask BHOP about Kovalev's underrated boxing skills....he said the most surprising thing about him is that he is a very technical boxer, not just some brawler.

There is a reason why Ward left that Kovalev fight last week, he wanted anything but to be put on the spot having to answer about getting in the ring with Kovalev with Kovalev standing right next to him. Fighting Kovalev is the last thing on Ward's mind.

your last sentence is just ****** bro..they dont have a beef..they have a match that is possible..they are not enemies like pascal and kov showed to be.
he doesn call ward a chicken..there is nothing to confront..he did his interview and left..u should stop listening to the thunderdome's of the world and get a grip on reality..

bhop is the most overrated thing known to man..his style is play possum and lung with his head and right hand...bhop jab barely exist..his defense is overrated or he wouldnt to the canvas as much as he has..and his boxing IQ is like ****** but smart at the same time..the man thinks a beard is a target..smh..he's a coon..bhop fougth WW's aw mw basically..and lost to the top mw and ducked him when he told him to meet him at 168..fough tarver after tarver had to lose all the weight form rocky..only fought winky when he made him fat as hell to move up in weight..pascal and dawson shows you that when there is an even playing field he's average at best and kovalev showed that as well...he has slow feet, no power, and basically 2 punches...
him and ward dont compare one single ffreakin bit...
ward is 100 more explosive and knowledge on the inside

Jackson is one of my favorite trainers but I disagree, Ward has enough pop to keep Kov honest. I still think Ward needs at least two fights to get ready for a fight with the Krusher.

In all due respect to Andre Ward, he is very adroit and clever. He knows how to make adjustments on the fly. In this regard, he puts me in the mind of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. His ability to adapt to almost any kind of style.

While he can't be counted out, he still cannot be regarded as the favorite in this bout. Sergey has got too many physical advantages and weapons at his disposal to be considered an underdog against Ward and in addition, he is a fundamentally sound boxer too.

However, if any one can pull this one off it's Andre Ward because all of the unforeseen and intangibles favor him.

Easy work Kovalev. Ward has no chance.

a 50 year old brotha that he couldn't even knockout

oh yeah? so if Kovalev defeats SOG then you are going to say, "he beat a past prime version of Ward 30+ years old, and after a long layoff"

To me the BHOP win, proved a lot of things for Kovalev

ward was getting rocked by a faded and bloated edison miranda. it's over for huggy man

... kid, dear: I think your education is mirrored by your spelling...
... Therefore, I can't make you responsible for not knowing that the term "slick" is to be found in Old English, starting with year 900, and it's coming from Old Norse slīkja (meaning: to give a gloss to)...
... as about not "understanding boxing": I don't like Russians generally, but I understand their boxing style -- which you, there in the U.S., clearly don't... Fortunately, your boxers understand -- that's why they duck those Russians like hell...

And I'm sure you search out dontae boxing nation lol.....horses for courses son.......as for the fight....wards inactivity will hurt him in this fight and I don't think he really wants to face off with kovalev....he can say what he wants but he hasn't even signed the Barrera fight yet.......Kovalev has to much fire power for a boxer that's always enjoyed a slight physical advantage over his opponents in terms of size and strength ..this time it's different as kovalev is immensely strong and technically sound so he can compete with ward inside and the outside...but he has far more power and he is cruel in that ring....I think wards lack of competition and past injures added to the fact that kovalev is getting better spells out a late stoppage for kovalev....I don't think the fight will even happen
