Sergey Kovalev vs. Andre Ward

[Batman]

I stand by what I said before, I want kov to win but I think Ward will grapple and spoil his way to a win.

If he stands and trades Kov wins, Ward isn't that stupid though.

I can not see Ward keeping Kov off him for 12 rounds. The aggressor will win.

This is a toss up for me. I'd like to say Andre, but then again Kovalev has proven he is not simply another straight forward boxer-puncher. He has a lot of skill and fight IQ himself. And of course, he's the bigger man and the much bigger puncher.

I'll go Kovalev by UD.

Ward whitewashes Kovalev. Kovalev has as much chance of winning as someone finding a vegetarian pit bull terrier.

Boxing needs this to be perceived as a close fight going in, but it won't be in the end. Kovalev is getting schooled from start to finish. Easy night's work for Ward.

Kovalev calls himself "Krusher" yet doesn't fight like one. He comes out looking to land his jab and looking to maintain a certain distance.

He has to be a Krusher or bust.

He wont be out-boxing Ward for 12 rounds. Ward will take Kovalev's best weapons then drag him to the deep end like a crocodile. This is not a competitive fight.

Ward's boxing skills are fucking amazing. People will also be suprised that not only will Ward outbox and school Kovalev but he will also bully Kovalev too. Kovalev has been stopped before in the amateurs and dropped 4 times vs Boone. If Ward decides to fight inside then Kovalev won't see the 10th round.

People underestimate Ward's brute strength, he ties you up and beats you up, you spend the fight getting tired trying to untangle yourself, he pushes you and you are off balance and tired.
If ever there was a hyped fighter, it's this Siberian bum slayer - and on Nov 19th he will get found out.

In a way I hope you are right but Kov is a quality fighter and the best at the weight.

It's a great fight. Last time I looked forward to fight as much as this was probably when De La Hoya fought Trinidad. In truth I was only kinda joking that this is an easy fight for Ward. I think I'm only 65% confident of Ward victory. If it was Ward Vs GGG at super middle I'd be 85% confident of Ward victory. I think Kova is a better boxer than people give him credit

Whoever wins is the best fighter on the planet.

This is worth the red bull and coffee to stay up for..

Ward on pts is obvious pick.

I'm going with SOG. I like technical skills over punching but I especially like Ward's ability to tie up and frustrate his opponents and then hammer them with elbows and even butts while in the clinch. SOG is border-line dirty and that ads another dimension to his already lethal arsenal.

If it did not work for Hopkins it will not work for Ward.

Im not a Ward fan but Im rooting for him, Kovalev is a bully.

Hmm. Hopkins was a fossil. Ward is fresh, fit, ready to go.
