Tough fight for ward.

Ward wins then beats GGG in a catchweight fight.

Then Retire as the best.

Yes because he is loaded and has too much money in his ban account.

The ref is important for this one. If he's going to let Ward jab and clinch all fight it could easily end up another horrible to watch Ward decision.

I thought Ward looked pretty bad last time out though, if he's like that with Kovalev then Kovalev will have no problem hitting him. The weight isn't doing him any favours either. If he isn't much improved on his last fight I think Kovalev sparks him.

Got to think that Kovalev just hammers him into submission....I remember back when Ward was "the next RJJ", what a bunch of crap that turned out to be. RJJ was fun to watch, Ward is tedious.

Interesting, that is the first time I have ever heard anyone compare Ward to RJJ.

He seemed to get compared to him right at the beginning of his career but not really after that.

Great talent but could have been so much more unfortunately

Ward ended up more like Hopkins that Roy in terms of style.

All the better for him. Fighting like RJJ is not something that is easy to do and have success with, it's more of a gamble. B-Hop's style isn't fun to watch unless you appreciate the attention to detail, patience, and caginess he utilized.

Man this fight better happen it is one of those fights were best fight one another near there peak which is not what happens at all anymore. People i think i really underestimating how well Kovalev can box that jab was destroying hop say what you want but Hopkins and Pascal were top guys and they got crushed by that guy pretty hard. Ward style is a lot like Hops but he is younger i think Kovalev Jab will be a problem he is very precise when hunting down his opponents great banger who can box and has very heavy hands.
