Ward has an excellent lead right, and that's what he would use to get in, following up with a left hook. Honestly, I don't really see Stevenson causing Ward any trouble at all. IMO, I can't really take anything away from the Cloud fight. Cloud is always a punching bag and as shown in the BHop fight and in the Stevenson fight, he cannot deal with movement. Plus, this version of Cloud was broken mentally by Hopkins. Couple the fact that he is with an aging King who is doing nothing for him, he was served up as a cash out. That is all I got out of this fight. One fighter to be showcased, and one to be cashed out.
Man Id hate to see Ward lose to Stevenson. Dangerous fight for Andre here and Id be on the edge for the duration of it. Ward probably sees Stevensons few weaknesses though, the question is can he make it count. With his lack of power, and having to be super cautious of much of what Stevenson throws it will be hard to capitalize on it. I would honestly favor Ward here, for a few reasons, but Stevenson is a very very live underdog in this one. Ward should probably just stay at 168 though if he can continue to make it comfortably.
