Kovalev-Ward is not a 50/50 fight.

    If Ward wins Kovalev will make him earn it, the rounds will be exciting. If Kovy is down 3-0 after three everything goes out the window and Kovy gonna bring that heat. It's not gonna be boring at all, in a fight where the winner becomes P4P#1 they'll put it all on the line. Andre's gonna have to dig deep for this one, I think it's toss-up. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

    73-27 for Kovalev. Ward can make him sweat it, frustrate him and even bring it to a MD, but Andre ain't winning that fight. Kovalev matches him in skills, albeit a different set, but brings power, volume punching and workmate to the game. And Ward cannot manhandle him, like he did with smaller guys. In any case - kudos for both for agreeing to make this fight happen and I look forward to it as the most exiting fight of the year.

    Wards another soft coward from the hood.Ward will to train twice as hard as he's ever trained to be in the same shape as his opponent.Kovalev is the first elite boxer Ward has ever had the courage to fight.Ward's just too soft for the light heavyweight division,and he's going to be destroyed.Ward doesn't even deserve the fight as their are ten better light heavyweights out there.

    Ward

    - Better Speed
    - Better Ring IQ
    - Better lead hand
    - Better defence
    - Better upper body + head movement
    - Better footwork

    Kovalev

    - Bigger Size
    - Better Power
    - Better back hand

    Think Ward's jab and movement will shut down Kovalev and befuddle him. If he's still close to the Ward that beat Kessler , that is.

    I didn't think the lines were released. God , I'm praying the odds makers have Brain freeze and make Wladimir some sort of laughable favorite .

    only ONE possible outcome here, AJ by destruction

    About 60/40 fight in my eyes, in favor of Kovalev.

    Still though, I have a STRONG feeling Ward is gonna win. I really don't see him losing anytime soon. If he wins this fight, nobody can argue against his greatness.

    Does he need a TKO to win this fight?.
