Kovalev quotes:

“This is a new level, new test. I am really excited. It’s a big test for me and I plan to go through and pass the test.”

“My goal is to get this win and be the best. The winner will be the best pound for pound.”

“I must be ready for everything. This is the fight of my career.”

“Now I am ready to prepare for Andre Ward.”

“I must be ready for 12 rounds.”

“Ward is a good universal boxer.”

“I don’t think it will be an easy fight. It’s the hardest test of my career.”

“It’s my goal to break his “0”. A victory here will be big. I must prove that I deserve to be on this level.”
 
For those of you that have boxed, or at least sparred for some time, you'll know what I mean when I say it is not so much of a challenge to last against a much better opponent. I don't doubt that Ward can go 12 rounds if he simply focuses on defense. However, while US judges will favor Ward, he can't win with defense; he'll also have to hit to win. That is where Kovalev's shots will get in -and Ward can't take Kovalev's shots.

Jackson, Kovalev's trainer, has said he has spotted 3 "major faults" in Ward's game. Anyone spot them? I know of 3 but I won't put them on this page. Private message me if you want to chat about it.

I hope you are right, Ambrose. This fight worries me more than the Hopkins fight as Ward is much younger and fresher than Hopkins was. Kovalev didn't look his best against Chilemba and I hope that was just an off night.

Ward is slower on his feet at 175; from studying Ward's past 3 fights, and comparing them with when he fought Froch, there is no doubt. To beat Kovalev, it will take lightening fast feet with very clever footwork. Kovalev is known mostly for his power but his footwork and foot speed are brilliant. There are many other factors why I would favor Kovalev, but like I wrote, I won't put them on this page. Boxers DO read boxing forums and ARE influenced by them. I don't want to help Ward.

If I could be in either man's body for this fight, I would gladly take Kovalev's because I think he has the superior machine and superior tactics to win this war.
 
I loved watching the highlights video. Will have to watch it again a few times in the next 3 weeks to continue to get hyped up for this mega fight. I can't wait. This could end up being the fight of the year. I say Kovalev by decision with a few knockdowns. I would rather he get the knockout!
 
Ward's obviously a talented fighter, but I just can't see this fight going any other way than Kovalev. Ward has only had 2 fights at light heavy and neither was a credible threat. He also wasn't able to really hurt either guy that bad or put him away. Ward has also never been hit by anyone that punches like Kovalev. The only question in my mind is will Kovalev be able to put Ward away or will he hurt Ward and send him running all night. The ideal outcome would be a solid beating of Ward with several knockdowns before his corner throws the towel in round 6 or so.
 
Ward has been speaking to and through social media for this fight. He seems to be trying to convince himself he has what it takes to win. I don't think so. I'll put my views of the fight online a couple of days before. Kovalev has had almost nothing to say. He'll be ready.

The video is ok. Thanks for posting it. The host makes a couple of odd points though. Kovalev is often a long range fighter not a mid range fighter. And, while Froch has a body similar to Kovalev, Froch is slow as a tractor on his feet and his foot work is limited while Kovalev moves around in and out like mongoose. No comparison of the lower half of the fighters at all. Another point that we all know opponents' react like having been tazed when Kovalev hits them while Froch is more of a scrapper take one to give one type. Fun video though.
 
The bookies have the negro a very slight favorite. I have Kovalev a 5 - 1 favorite.
 
Be prepared for the worst.

The (((establishment))) in boxing will want a Andre Ward win. A Sergey Kovalev win doesn't fit well with (((their))) anti-White agenda.

I think they'll have a crooked referee like (((Jack Reiss))) or a racist Negro ref to help Ward. The Las Vegas judges will give Ward the rounds unless Kovalev completely dominates.

There will be lots of head games the day of the fight (for example, they'll likely question Kovalev's gloves, even though there is nothing wrong with them - Ward said in an article today Kovalev loads his gloves).

HBO and the rest of the Cultural Marxist boxing media will score all the rounds for Ward unless Sergey completely dominates. The very racist (((Max Kellerman))) will be saying Kovalev is sadistic (he's not) bigger (he's not) and a bully (he's not), discrediting him while praising Ward.

On the payroll refs and judges, built to order ring sizes, mobbed up drug testers, shill tv announcers, every dirty trick in the books, that is a given for a fight in Las Vegas. Kovalev needs to knock the bum out and he will do just that!
 
I can just a hear it now. Kellerman will say Ward has more boxing RAM and a better boxing CPU than Kovalev. They desperately need a black boxer that can be their invincible god. Imagine what we boxing castefootball guys will have to endure if Ward somehow wins this. I keep saying guys, Ward had always fought smaller guys who don't punch extremely hard. Kovalev is a whole new beast for Ward. BJ Flores was rightfully put in his place as a bitch recently. Hopefully Ward follows!
 
Really? I can't see Kovalev losing to Ward based on Ward's last fight. Ward had to struggle the full 12 rounds with a taxi cab driver. Come on. It should be game over for Kovalev in round 8, Ward draped over the ring ropes, with Kovalev being pulled away from the carnage.
 
The only hope for Ward is to confuse Kovalev similar to Hopkins versus Pavlik. The problem for Ward is Kovalev is a better boxer who probably has better punching power too. Ward at some point in the middle rounds might be in survival mode.

And that Kovalev will not be suffering from a two day drinking binge and hangover.
 
Kovalev needs to stay on the outside, pump his jab and move around. Then he wins 100 percent. Wards only chance is if he makes it an inside fight but even then I think Kovalev is just too strong for him. Ward won't be able to pull the same crap he did with Froch and Kessler.

The good thing about this is that it will make the Las Vegas referee's fight fixing job harder. Hatton needed to stay inside against Mayweather so the crooked ref, Cortez, simply dived in the moment they got close - but this is the opposite case so K stays on the outside, what is the LV referee going to do except maybe deduct points from him for not fighting if Ward backpedals a lot.

He will let Ward get away with headbutts and everything else inside. In this case, Ward won't have much success inside because of the strength.
