Brehs in your opinion who is a trickier fight for Ward? Stevenson or Kovalev?

Stevenson... He's a awkward fighter with power.

KkK is more robotic. Both still good fights.

How is Ward gonna handle Kovalev's power tho?

How is Ward gonna handle Kovalev's power tho?

block, move, neutralize and counter..

block, move, neutralize and counter..

Counter with what?
Ward doesn't have the power to KO Kovalev. Probably doesn't have enough to seriously hurt him.

I think Ward's gonna get hit.
A lot.

I understand that technically, he's a more skilled fighter. But if it goes 12...it's gonna be a long 12.

agreed...the fighter that gave ward the most trouble was bika..bika's awkwardness and rough housing threw ward off his game for half of the fight...if only stevenson learned to throw a better variety of punches with both hands instead of just setting up only to throw that left hand

That's exactly who I was thinking of. Yes you are right with everything you said.

See people think I don't be reasonable in my criticism of fighters. I generally tend to agree with you guys more often than not. I just put the bias shyt to the side and just hate everybody Lmfaoooo

You guys are so hype off this power shyt. You don't need a hold bunch of power to stop people from moving forward. Look at Floyd light punching ass. I have yet to see people just walk through and take his shots to get their off(aside from Miadana and Castillo).

And I think you dudes forget that KK been put down by lesser punches.

You can't use Floyd as the example.
Floyd is a once-in-a-generation fighter.

What

The fukk you think Andre Ward is?

yeah I can't wait. This shyt going to be hilarious come fight time. Dre going to be ruffing him up on the inside and Kkk and going to be able to do shyt.

And he isn't a volume puncher at that yeah buddy

and you don't see that in Dre??? just look at the man and his achievements already.

I think Ward is great.
I don't think he's on the same level as Floyd in terms of elusiveness.

Save for later
The British boxer Nick Blackwell is in an induced coma after suffering a bleed on the brain following a domestic title fight defeat on Saturday night.

The referee stopped the largely one-sided fight against Chris Eubank Jr in the 10th round after Blackwell, who had taken heavy punishment in most rounds, was deemed unable to continue by a doctor, due to swelling over his left eye.

Shortly after the bout, for Blackwell’s British middleweight title, which was televised live on Channel 5, the 25-year-old, from Trowbridge, Wiltshire, collapsed and had to be taken out of the ring on a stretcher with oxygen.

The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC) general secretary, Robert Smith, said: “I spoke to one of the doctors this morning and he said there is a bleeding of the brain.

“He’s in intensive care, he’s in an induced coma and he is resting and being looked after by the experts.

“It’s a very normal procedure. They put you in a coma to get the swelling to go down. There’s no timescale. Now it’s just a matter of waiting and seeing.”

After the fight, Eubank said: “I was hitting him with some big shots and the referee saw fit to let the fight go on. Looking back now, maybe he should have stopped it earlier.”

On Sunday morning, he paid tribute to his opponent’s courage and wished him a speedy recovery. He tweeted:


Eubank’s father, Chris Eubank Sr, who was in his son’s corner for the bout, said the incident brought back painful memories of his world title fight with Michael Watson in 1991, which left his opponent with severe brain injuries.

Watson nearly died as a result of injuries sustained in the fight and the incident forced the BBBC to boost safety at bouts to ensure that boxers who suffer such injuries get speedy assistance, including oxygen. Eubank Sr said he was banging on the canvas during the Blackwell fight urging the referee to stop it.

A number of British boxers, past and present, have tweeted their support for Blackwell, including the world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, who accompanied Blackwell into the ring on Saturday night.
