Definitely not in terms of the higher profile guys. But tonight can change that perception. Or perhaps just reinforce it. I'm hoping the prior and I can't wait!
This better be a barn incinerator. I can't handle another big fight that actually happens to be a major letdown again.
kovalev power is too much it will be a close fight where kovalev wins in on more effective punching there will be disagreements but the judges will see it the same way canelo-cotto fight went. with ward in cottos shoes making more movement around the ring. kovalev will land a few big shots that will shake ward but not enough to take him out. there will be controversey in the decision and calls for a rematch
I like Ward via 12 rd decision. If a 50 yr old Hopkins goes the distance, Ward should do much better. He is faster and has the better hands and just as strong.
