Kovalev/Ward aftermath..

[Master]

Cruiserweight is indeed quite barren.

Ward is probably too small to become a proper CW in his prime (he may bulk up when he gets older).

Kovalev could do CW, and he would beat the crap out of Bellew.

However, I'd love to see him against Usyk, who I rate really highly.

When Kov beats ward, Stevenson and Beterbiev he can go up an dominate Cruiserweight.

easier said than done. It's taken long enough to get the Ward fight on, He'll be 50 by the time Stevenson and Beterbiev fights are made.

You think Kovalev would beat Usyk? SMDH

I hope that fight comes to fruition so you can see how wrong you are.

You are right he could not beat Usyk never mind Bellew.

Dunno about Usyk, but Kov would beat Bellew every day of the week and twice on Sundays, even if Bellew came in at 18 Stone!

I've only seen usyk fight once (which was last fight that he won the title) and he looked pretty good. I haven't seen him enough to make a real fair judgment I'll admit, but i think it's pretty obvious that kovalev is better, but is just smaller. The biggest question is if his power moves up well with him or not. If it does, I think he beats usyk. If not, he probably doesn't because he won't be able to throw usyk off of his game plan.

Look at the body language when Ward refused to shake kovolev hand...

Kovalev is facing something new in Ward...there will be no quit in him.

Complete kudos for Ward taking this fight..Sunday morning we will know exactly who the best pound for pound is...

They are talking it up, but much excitement in the undercard. Interesting to see if Stevens is still improving after that change of trainer,but should be a walk in the park for him.

Win or lose, Ward will go back into hibernation and resurface in the ring in 2018.

The aftermath has happened..

Very close fight but if I'm being honest I expected kovalev to get the decision and Ward perhaps get better in the rematch.

Ward has to give kovalev the rematch and now that Ward has figured kovalev out I see Ward doing a better job this time..

Close fight...but in my heart I had kovalev the winner..perhaps I need to watch it again tomorrow.

We know the result guys..let's talk about what happens next?

You should watch more of Usyk. He's really entertaining but also sneaky diverse. He'll tap you a few time with the jab, then bring the sledgehammer jab once you relax. He does this with a variety of punches too. Just one of those guys the more you see him the more you understand everything he does has a purpose. Not trying to do things, doing things to create other things. Whoever coaches the Ukrainian amateurs produces very very clever fighters.
