I put something together for the upcoming fight between Kovalev and Ward. For any fans looking forward to this fight, feel free to read it over. http://a-neutral-corner.blogspot.ca/2016/10/appraisal-and-prediction-andre-ward-vs.html Have a good one!
I agree with your analysis. I am really hoping we get an entertaining scrap, but that is just never the case with Ward.
I think your anаlysis is indeed fair and balanced. Also the аssessments of both fighters styles, strenghts and subtile weaknesses is pretty good. I myself predict another winner though, by kovalev doing exactly the same against B-Hop with the differences being youth in Ward's favor to that one, but less punch resistance.
