Sergey Kovalev vs. Isaac Chilemba

[erics44]

chilembas style is nothing like wards

[Sleepwalker]

It's not so much style, but there were some distinct similarities that will help Ward better prepare for Kovalev


Chilemba had success off the back foot (which Ward is a master at) and was able to counter the Kov popping jabs....he even snapped his head back a few times. Chilemba was also able to roll, bob and weave his way out of trouble until the seventh round where Kovalev finally was able to get inside and land more clean shots. I doubt Ward will get nearly as much.

styles aside ill tell you why it will help kovalev


I reckon before that fight he was unbeatable, or at least he felt that way, probly felt like he could walk through everyone


that fight will help him prepare better mentally and be that little more respectful of the guy he is fighting, even tho he still won by miles

I would go as far as to say that Kov deliberately fought poorly to make ward think he does have a chance.
