I hope the fight happens, Ward seems to be dragging his feet regarding the "tune ups" prior to Kovalev. Genuinely great fight but one in which I think Kovalev wins via ko in a close but cleat victory.
Does a guy who hasn't been beaten in 16 years, got an olympic gold medal, won one of the most stacked boxing tournaments in a decade and also is in his prime have a chance? Yes he does, a good chance.
This is one fight that is really 50/50 right now. I can see Ward schooling Kov or Kov knocking him out savagely. I have no idea who would win.
My opinion is the correct one If ward can prove me wrong I'll hold my hands up and admit I was wrong but I can't see him beating kovalev
