I think that most people would see it this way, although I think that Kovalev will win in the later rounds
Ward is more skilfull, Kovalev is more stronger. God Almighty knows. Foreman vs Ali ? Tyson vs Holiefield ? ...or Tyson vs Spinx ?
Im picking Kovalev to win but would like to see who Ward faces in his next fight and how he does, his last opponent was a bit of a plodder but was a big strong guy and Ward looked very comfortable and looked the stronger man against a physically strong Lightheavy. Was impressed with Ward. Like i say pickin Kovalev but i reckon when they meet they will both be facing the best opponent they have faced so far. So that should say something for Ward.
Well if the fight happens we can all do some 1 month ban bets I will honour the agreement Predictions aside I'm excited to see this fight and hope it comes off
For me this fight is as 50/50 as it gets. A clash of styles, two dominant champions eating at the top table. How anyone can say they're certain either way is beyond me.
I see it as a very close fight and if it does happen the betting odds will reflect that. Kovalev is a great fighter but so is Ward.
Do you think Ward will be able to run entire 12 rounds without having to exchange? Hell no. Physical breakdown and stoppage by the 10th. Ward will be battered by a bigger, stronger guy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
All i can say is that the ward who fougth barrera doesnt stand a chance he will need to raise his game by quit a bit
This would be a 50/50 fight if Ward had a consistent career. I don't think you can go into a fight with Kovalev and not been fairly active. 60/40 in favor of Kovalev.
It's Ward 70/30 in schooling Kovalev. Will be a glorious day on the forum. I'm expecting a wide decision and disbelief. It'll be sold as a 50/50 fight but Ward and his team will find the exact gameplan that'll get the win.
A while back I would have said little or no chance. Now, I see it as 50/50. Still believe Kov will ko him but I will not bet the farm on it.
