    In the video, Andre Ward says "I was sandwiched in between a heroin addict and a crack head, I shouldn't be here"

    But heroin addict or not, at least Ward's father had money, Ward grew up in a good neighborhood and his father took him to the boxing gym very often. Kovalev grew up poor in a rough neighborhood and had fewer opportunities, having a disabled father.

    I love how ward previously says he didn't want anyone to know so he never talked about it. But now that its out, why not serve up mom and dad's memory for exploitation and work the angle, right? Good thinking..
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

    Kov is a nasty individual you see the way he fights he wants to really hurt his opponent, Ward is a clever fighter but can't see him surviving 12 rounds I think Kov in about 6 rounds.

    I like both fighters. Kov is a brutal beast with under rated boxing skills who will not be denied. Ward is a very good fighter who should have been a superstar by now.

    Ward has stepped up to take on the best fighter at the weight after a long lay off so think he will lose. I can not see Ward stopped but do see him lose a decision.

    I intend to stay up and watch this fight because it is the best fight of the year for me.

    Had Ward stayed active with decent competition, I would say he would win by decision, but he hasn't fought a really good fighter since Froch 5 years ago, and has only had 5 fights since then. He's gonna have to make this fight boring & ugly by running & hugging all night to get the win, because if he stands and trades with Kovalev, he's gonna get hurt.

    Running and hugging does not win a fight, even Wlad punched to win his fights.
