It's not so much that Ward is exceptionally good on the inside, me I've always made the distinction between knowing how to fight in the clinches and infighting. Ward knows how to smother his opponents and lock one of their arms. To beat Ward it's gonna take someone who specializes in throwing short hooks/ uppercuts on the inside, someone who cuts off the ring very well. Kovalev is underrated on here, I really like what I see but I see Ward smothering him quite easily.

Edwin had some success early on though. I think if Ward gets beaten that's how it's going to happen, a strong light-heavyweight coming out and landing the big shot. Because Ward isn't getting outboxed.

Kovalev v Ward is a fight we'll be talkin about in 4 years time just the way you *****s do manny/*****boy. ain't no way this fight is happening, if Ward does move up to 175 it'll be against Stevenson, thats a good fight but Ward will struggle with the size and power and lack of his own real pop. Then he'll either stay up fighting bums for 2 mill or move back down fighting bums for 2 mill.
