    I'm excited to see a potentially great fight that I really can't call.

    Kovalev is one of the best at maintaining distance and has igreat boxing iq. He' counter watd if he tries to bullrush like he did hopkins and kovalevs jab will be key factor if the fight turns in to a boxing match. Ward has no chance on paper.

    I could see Ward winning this. I'm not favoring him, but it's not too hard for me to see a scenario where he pulls it off.

    I've seen crafty spoilers with countering ability dispatch quality boxer-punchers before. It's not going to be an easy win for Kovalev unless it turns out there's a fundamental weakness in Andre's punch resistance that compromises the rest of the fight plan.

    Ward will win & it will be an easy win for him. (Or at least he will make it look easy)

    I'm giving Ward a ton of credit for even getting into the ring with Kovalev. That said, I think he has a serious chance. I'm picking Kovalev but I'm picking this being an awesome match up even more.

    Close fight. I have to give Ward a slight edge.

    It's the constant bashing and rooting against Black fighters and you've done this for years with multiple alts.

    Great fight , one of the best in boxing , the only "ez" thing that can happen is Kov KO`s Ward early , otherwise its a LONG night for both fighters if it goes 12 .
    Hope it gets made , i gave ward tons of credit for this step up he really deserve it if he goes through the fight win or lose.

    Ward is as white as he is black.

    As for the fight I just want to see two elite fighters going at it. It'll be a close fight but I lean in favour of Kovalev who I think stops Ward in 8 to 10.

    Kovalev has a great sense of distance and has underated footwork. Ward will have to put Kovalev on the back foot to win imo and to do that he will have to fight the perfect fight.

    Just hope Ward keeps to the promise of a November date, but with sinister Hunter b itching recently and no second opponent fixed it's not looking good.
