Andre Ward vs. Dmitry Bivol.

I see Bivol taking the early rounds, possibly with an early knockdown. Ward adjusts somewhat as the fight goes on, but doesn't win enough rounds to overcome Bivols lead.
Bivol wins seven clear rounds, maybe eight. With the KD, there should be little doubt.

Ward gets the decision by a point on all tree cards.

 

I never denied the first kovalev-ward fight wasn't close. With that said it shows you how mentally strong ward was in that fight he got dropped and then started to take the fight to kovalev whereas others simply retreated or melted down against him. The mere fact that ward was willing to move up and face kovalev at that time when kovalev was seen as a killer shows you how mentally strong ward was. It's hard to beat a guy like ward who doesn't know how to lose and hadn't lost since he was a kid. Ward gets alot of hate because people didn't like his style but he was a force to be reckoned with in the ring.

As for canelo that fight couldn't have happened while ward was at 175 after he beat Canelo.

 

with lowblows and headbutts Ward,fair and square in neutral teritory Bivol.

 

I’ve noticed a pattern, people love to hate on fighters who retired undefeated
And ones who avenged all their defeats, people cling onto them defeats for the rest of time

 

Not entirely accurate.

 

You are right, some admit it. Most don’t.

 

Ward UD

 

Let me see how Bivol handles the pressure that Canelo will bring him before I guess at what he'd do vs Ward. If Bivol shrivels up vs Canelo then no way does he beat Ward.

And I'm basing that idea on the fact that Bivol cannot and will not win a decision vs Canelo, no matter how many times he hits or knocks Canelo down. If, in my mind and probably many others Bivol out boxes Canelo but loses in a robbery then I'd say yes, he could outbox Wards although he would need to stay outside and away from Wards head of course.
