Ward could not even come near knocking out a middleweight Abraham, he could not harm Bika, will not fight outside his home town. If the fight were to take place in Vegas, you can bet Ward will own the judges, referee, boxing commission, but I think Kovalev will knock Ward out. Ward's last opponent was a bum, he could not come near knocking him out...............Kovalev has a good defense, superior power, great timing, distance, etc. Ward was sucking wind in his tune-up fight, did not look good at all.................Ward's opponent had very wide, slow punches............I suggest that Ward fight Stevenson and Beterbiev as tune-up fights before Kovalev. Ward has not signed the contract yet either...............Ward keeps saying he needs another tune-up, ad infinitum............
Why would this be a cashing out fight for Kovalev, the winner of this fight in my eyes will determine who is P4P #1. The best of the best.
