    Yeah but I look at the other 11 or 10 rounds. Which were competitive, but Ward wasn't hurt outside of the first two rounds. At the very top level I tend to value power as less of a factor.

    You two would have a great debate if you havent already clashed

    IMO Ward will be hurt again, and he wont be let off the hook this time

    I respect you and your opinions Bogo, and its great to see you back here from time to time, but i'm very confident of a Krusher stoppage i'll wager you if you have such confidence in Ward

    I'll take that bet. I wouldn't be surprised at a Kovalev win but I have more faith in Ward to make the adjustments so I'm game!

    Ward controversially DQ'd for excessive holding and wrestling or has points deducted leading to a decision win for Kovalev. I don't see a KO

    Ward UD! Kov gets 0 knock downs, but Kov will put up a tremendous fight.

    I think I'm going with Ward by UD and this time he will actually deserve it. Kovalev was robbed last time. But as the fight went on into the later rounds Ward began to figure Kovalev out.

    Ward was caught by surprise at how well Kovalev could box from the outside. It was only until he recalibrated his gameplan and got over the buzz of the KD that he got back into the fight.

    Kovalev had that advantage last time. In my opinion Ward has the advantage in basically every department except power. Timing is probably about even. Ward has better head movement, defense, inside game, punch arsenal, stamina, speed, etc.

    The difference in power though is just so great. Kovalev basically beat Ward last time (and he did win) with just his power and timing.

    Andre Berto is confident in a Ward stoppage.

    :risas3::risas3:

    I wish there was a way to get a hold of him to put up a little wager on that :D I'm sure he'd have NO problem putting 10 large on that.

    Kovalev by stoppage, he has no choice, he has to stop Ward.

    He won't get a decision, no Russian is getting a decision in the US.

    Guys like Berto have no shame. He is coming off a hammering but instead of shutting up and working on his game he starts cucking and yapping on behalf of another man. The guy is just creepy, living vicariously through his contemporaries accomplishments because he fell short.

    money?! oh dear. I thought you meant an avatar bet. I was going to put less than 20 on an online bet. Why don't we both bet at the casino and then have an avatar bet among ourselves?

    Then again you do offer better odds at even money I think...hmm
