BHop didn't have the legs to fight at the range he wanted, Ward does this will go exactly like the BHop fight should have. Ward setting him up with his jab and mangling him on the inside where his "power" all of a sudden isn't an issue anymore because he can't get the extension he wants on his punches.

nikkas see power and go :noah: when we have seen power get offset by the better boxer time and time again. :manny:

its not just power tho. kovalev is extremely good at controlling distance :what:

I think you're a little bit confused..all 3 moved up to light heavyweight....superman was at 168 prior to facing chad..kovalev however has been a light heavy pretty much all his career

my bad.

but still he has not faced a lhw champ that has speed/one punch power of adonis.:yeshrug:

true.

he saying ward's footwork will be able to negate that and get inside of kkkov.

we will see if thats true when they fight.

im not sure if ward has faced someone as powerful as kkkov but his chin has been tested.

he certainly is and is far from some meat head slugger, he time's and knows where to attack.
All this is true, but Ward is a master at smothering fighters and dictating the pace and range of the fight. Regardless of his power and skill level I think Ward is a tall order for Kovalev. The handspeed, defense, and boxing ability are all huge in Wards favor. Plus that dirty roughhouse style frustrates the hell out of other fighters and throws them off their gameplan. Dude is baby BHop. Unless he really hurts Ward with a shot I see Kovalev getting outclassed.

Once kovalev touches ward to the body from the outside like he did Hopkins it's going to be insteresting how he takes those.

I don't want it to seem like I think kkkov is :trash: I was arguing that he should be ranked higher than #ShookBoys p4p because he is more skilled imo and has better scalps. It's just that Ward is that good. I'll take any bet on this fight colicash/Avi/ban.
