    Ward. Just like him more as a boxer and I also admire the relationship between him and Virgil.

    I like Kovalev too but the guy is a legit psychopath. Caused a man to die in the ring previously, yet took great pleasure in "punishing" Pascal and prolonging the fight to hurt him more. That made me less of a fan of his tbh because it's not an attitude I can relate to.

    Definitely prefer Ward all things considered. Very tough upbringing and the way he has risen to the top is commendable.

    Yeah, Ward seems like a nice guy to boot as well. That said, I'm having to back Big Psycho Russia

    Kovalev by a mile.

    We all know how inactive Ward will be and what level of opponents he's going to fight if he comes out on top. Just like what happened after the S6.
    And besides that, "the General" will become unbearable as well, no matter how close the fight was, due to the many anti EE/EU/CA trolls.

    Initial reaction when talk of the fight getting made was ward on points. But have seen his tune ups I would now say Kov to win either ko late or more likely points, SD being in USA. Ward could get the SD on home soil.

    Ward isn't the same guy who fought in the super6, he is not as slick and slow down a bit due to inactivity, age? and perhaps move up in weight. Kov is a brilliant boxer too, some people seriously underrates his skills set. He has been active, campaigns at LHW since pro? Will have a tiny bet on kov winning, although will not be surprise to see a hometown decision.

    It's not an attitude that you can relate to, but you enjoy watching grown men punch each other in the face?

    You sound like a psycho, bud.

    Genuine 50/50 for me.

    If I had to pick a winner I'd go ward sd.

    I can't see either getting stopped,

    Ward wins. He just always finds a way to nulify his opponent so I predict we will be in here on Sunday morning discussing his ATG status.

    Kovalev. Guy fight anyone and anywhere as wants prove he best Too many boxers scared. He took punt takin clev in wales pascal his backyard also. Ward never out Oakland (rarely) and is a tech genius yes but a dirty fighter as well whereas kov underatted skills and can punch. A see others sayin attitude punish pascal. Pascal before fight sayin all kinds ****. TBf kov aswell the chickenson comment aswell guy afraid no one he willing fight best and at peak no one wants part ward kov no prob steeped up. Whoever wins would love see beat Stephenson holdin that belt hostage in canada

    I personaly dont think wards legs looked as good since the lay off and its going to take a prime ward to win this but if he does, then boy what a guy! Im still struggling to pick one but because of what ive just said im gonna go kov. Im just not sure its the same ward!

    Agreed. Not to mention that his last true test was Carl Froch about 5 years ago.

    Kov via TKO.
