Usyk undresses Ward thoroughly, and then stops him via corner retirement in 8. Yes, Usyk would break his will and steal his soul, like he's done with every other opponent he's shared the ring with aside from Briedis.
Agreed. Ward wasn't able to separate himself from Kovalev in their two bouts. Usyk twenty-five pounds higher is asking far too much. Ward would be thoroughly outclassed and would either retire or his corner would save him.
There are two things you can be sure of in that fight. 1) it takes place in Ward's backyard. 2) Usyk will beat the breaks of him.
Usyk is too big and too good. Even with all of Ward's dirty tricks, he won't see the final bell. Usyk KO.
Conte didn't have Ward playing those juicing games. Vitamins, prayers, and hard work is the Conte way.
