He has to or he will be flamed by the fans. It is a travesty that a fighter of his ability has been sitting on the sidelines for so long. Yes I know he had his contract issues but as far as I'm concerned, its now or never for him to become a genuine star. If he doesn't take the fight, he can forget the big $ going forward.
Well it seemed to good to be true like a year ago with fights constantly falling out but I believe it will happen now.
I do If anyone will duck out of the fight, it will be KKKovalev who already ducked Stevenson like the plague
I think Ward is a special kind of talent and will be ready for Nov. IMO its a 55-45 in favor of Andre. The Krusher can't waste any time and let Andre dance around him as I think that Ward will win any decision not involving KD's, so Krusher should go out with bad intentions from the first bell. My 2 cents
Sergei is a slight favorite IMHO because he's comfortable at this weight with freakish power. Sergei is not as technical but his skills are underrated. He's fundamentally sound all around. Will be a close fight and if Sergei lands a power punch it could be by KO. 55-45 Kovalev It would not be surprising if Ward wins ugly.
