Andre Ward's Own Lawyer Richard Dwyer Just Picked Kovalev By KO.

Oh damn! that's quite a jinx there :think

Now let's hope Teddy Atlas picks Ward :yep

 

:rofl Beautifully callous law man

 

And?

 

I picked Ward by decision although will be rooting for Kovalev.

The problem with Kovalev is he is a very good boxer but not the kind of tier boxer Ward is on his best night. Kovalev offsets this somewhat with the size advantage...but if he doesn't get a rhythm going and allows Ward to BARELY pick him off round by round then it will get interesting.

Can't believe Andre Ward is already 32...I hope he didn't take this fight as a response to him recognizing the onset of his physical decline from prime because he needs everything in this fight.

 

You watch dwyer videos? :huh

 

Didn't Kovalev say he plans to outbox Ward. How likely is that? Also it's a good thing I don't believe in jinxes or I'd force CST80 off the Wilder bandwagon (just joking).

 

Dwyer looks at it from a betting angle. He recommends to bet that Kovalev wins by KO and the over which is good for both sides of the bet (as a hedge). I personally don't hedge often, your upside is greatly diminished and if you are wrong you lose both sides of the bet. I'm probably just going to take Kovalev as the dog; he probably wins by KO but I think he could very easily win a decision if Wards goes into Hopkins-Esque survival mode. I honestly don't see Ward winning although I'll admit I could be wrong.

 

He's saying it as a betting man I think, like I bet on Postol to win because the odds seemed good but I expected Crawford to win without too many problems.

 

He's more likely to win trying to box than trying to knock him out IMO.

 

And if Lewis picks Ward we might as well write the W on Kovalevs resume now.
