Fair shout, Really is one of them ones I don't know which way it would go.. Leaning towards GGG at the moment
I think Golovkin gives him hell and even drops him, but Ward pulls out a close split decision. Ward will maintain distance and counter, but will get caught at times. Plus his clinching will keep Golovkin from firing off at close range, which is the smart thing to do. But Ward needs a tune up first. I had a dream months ago, Ward was outboxing Golovkin, then in the middle rounds got caught flush and was KO'd.
Ward and most guys would be surprised how easy, as i posted before Ward is better in every department beside power, wide UD for Ward
Ward unanomous or maybe split decision. Ward is bigger, and has an infamous and dirty style. He wouldn't be there to be hit, and 3G missed a lot of shots in his last two fights. He has also lost part of his speed, to me. Ward couldn't hurt Golovkin, but olovkin wouldn't land enough to win a decision.
Andre might have some skills and quality's we haven't seen yet, he does know how to win, but as it stands, I think Golovkin wins this. His offense is just too good, you can't even practice for it. He hits very accurately, frequently, and HARD! Plus he cuts off the ring like no other. Ward will do his best to neutralize this offense, but there will be times where he is going to get hit harder and more frequently than ever. If Ward had an amazing chin, or devastating firepower, he could weather the storm, or put Golovkin down - But Ward has an average chin and ordinary power. Ward cannot win this fight at range, with guys like Frock and Kessler, he could use their nervous energy to feint and setup his shots while timing or tying up anything they tried to muster. Golovkin is in a league above these guys and he has the confidence to dictate the fight. Ward's only chance is to smother Golovkin on the inside and keep him from getting leverage on his big fight ending shots. Ward is great on the inside, but so is Golovkin. He wastes very little energy in the clenches, and people don't try to hold him after a couple of times because he gets the best of it by throwing short powerful shots that seem to hurt people. The guy is amazingly strong, and I think he will be able to hurt Ward on the inside.
ward has the advantage height, reach, speed, skill, weight, stamina etc etc the only advantage ggg has and he might not even have that at 168 is power. ward by unanimous decision.
