大战之前安德烈沃德，谢尔盖克瓦列夫之间的紧张气氛再度升级。
本周四，34岁的科瓦列夫情绪非常激动，在沃德发言尚未离开之时便走下席位，不恰当的用手指着沃德进行嘲弄，“我已经说的够多了，17号我将证明它，你要准备好”。沃德回应道:“请转过话筒！不要用手指我！”
回到席位继续说道“这不会干扰我，希望他能拿出最好的状态，但你们会看到一个完全不同的沃德，你们会看到另外一个人，周六晚上将开始我的时代，我将展示自己，”
The Russian sent Ward to the canvas in their first fight in November but failed to close the deal and is now hoping to prove his claim that he was robbed of a victory. Ward, 33, won the controversial first fight by the narrowest of margins, 114-113, on all three judges' scorecards, which earned him the IBF, WBA and WBO belts. In the build-up to Saturday's contest, Kovalev mocked Ward's "Son of God" nickname by referring to him as the "Son of Judges." Three of the four major belts will be at stake as the pair meet for the second time in just seven months in a light heavyweight world title fight at the Mandalay Bay hotel and casino. If Kovalev learned anything from that first bout, it is that he can't take any rounds off or rely on the judges' decision. Prior to his November defeat, Kovalev had been on a more than five-year winning streak dating back to a draw in August 2011 with Grover Young. Like Kovalev, Ward has beaten his share of elite boxers. Ward (31-0, 15 KOs) is trying to prove he didn't get a gift decision in the first fight. After suffering a knockdown, he was able to regroup and change the momentum of the fight in the sixth round. Ward prides himself on being calm cool and collected, but he couldn't help but show emotion on Thursday. "I am not going to be distracted by the talk," he said as he took his turn at the podium. "I am expecting his best, but you are going to see a different Andre Ward. You are going to see another guy in there Saturday night. That is my favorite time. Show-and-tell time." - See more at: http://www.boxingscene.com/andre ... thash.5CZAtfLI.dpuf |
