There wasn't shyt wrong with Ward, the move you move up the more you have to sit in the pocket and bang, and his speed and pop appeared better than usual, plus he was surprisingly strong, grabbing and pushing in the clinch....
Ward isn't gonna beat Kovalev one handed though, Ward is terrified of throwing a right and keeps his chin tucked to his shoulder and lunge jabs and half chip hooks, well a tall rangy fighter will simply keep distance and jab him and land the straight high on his ear as he lunges in, and eventually clock him.....
Ward was 100% himself the problem was people has been kissing his ass for that ordinary shyt, a slow fighter like Barrera butterbean could slip and dodge his shyt, but Ward hid in the clinch threw little and kept his right in his holster, and failed to get this d class fighter out there, very good, very sharp, but very ordinary and nothing special, the thing is Kovalev is special and rare with his speed fundamentals and pop...Besides I saw Ward complaining of Barreras pop in the corner late fight well he barely landed shyt
Ward needs two tune-ups to get acclimated to the new style and to discover or gain the confidence to leave his chin exposed to throw a right hand
