Light Heavyweight / 175 lbs / 12.5 Stone

I have a close feel out type fight for one round, til Kovalev turns it up and walks Ward down and mauls him, beating him from pillar to post for several rounds til the 7th, where Kovalev knocks him down twice. Ward has a spirited 8th round which he wins but takes massive damage, and the towel is thrown from his corner in the 9th, Ward still on his feet but bleeding from cuts and ears.

What say you!?

[Earl-Hickey]

Ward by ko

[Disturbed]

I'd see Kovalev hurting Ward there in the ring, probably knocking him down, but i'd still have Ward by decision in the end. Hopefully we will really see this fight one day.

Ward is getting hit way too much by a bigger version of angulo. Kovalev is way more accurate and powerful. I can't see Ward taking those shots from Kovalev and he has nothing to keep him off.

I got Kovalev by KO. But I wouldn't be surprised if Ward wins a decision.

I was fairly certain Ward would win it easily, but after that last performance, Im not so sure now. I cant tell if it was just rust or if he has slowed down due to age.
