Official: Andre "SOG" Ward vs Sergey "Krusher" Kovalev RBR Thread

Bump :boxing: This is so 50-50 in my head but I'm going Ward via ugly inside fight by decision

Ward by KO 10th round.

Kovalev don't have no chances. That's gonna be like Froch/Ward Andre Ward is the MOST talented boxer right now, he's just too good. I can't see no one beating him Actually, that might be the end of Kovalev's career

Tough call as neither guy has faced a comparable opponent. Probably best to see how Ward looks in his next fight. As of now, I'd have to pick Kovalev.

Ward by close (possibly controversial) decision.

My initial pick was Andre Ward, and I think I'm just gonna ride that instinctive pick out and see what happens. Unless Kov/Chilemba or Ward's next fight makes a particular statement, I'll be sticking with Ward.

Riding with Ward til I see him lose. A ton of respect to Kov. What a fight this will be

I'm waiting to see the Kov vs Chilemba and Dre next fights. Right now I don't know, I would favor Ward with his pedigree and speed. Kovalev is sometimes hittable, but he surprised me more than once: especially shuttin down Bernard's skills for 12 rounds, I know Nard is a grandpa but damn, he really outboxed him every minute of the fight. They say "everybody's got a game plan until they get hit", it seems to be really true when it comes to Kov's fights.

Kovalev by decision, Ward will win some rounds but gets dropped once or twice and loses around 116-110. Ward will try to win even after being hurt, dudes a competitor and hasn't lost since 12 but Kovalev is a step too far for him imo. Can't see Ward outboxing him from range as that isn't really his specialty and fighting on the inside will mean he will have to pay on the way in, Kovalev is good at taking a step back and punishing that. Props to both guys for making the fight happen. :boxing:

I've picked Kovalev all along..and still do.

I got Kovalev by KO in the 9th.. but I'm going by how much Ward was touched up in the Barrera fight. Definitely want to see Ward against someone else to make a proper judgement. Btw - disagree with that little diagram at the bottom. I would say Ward is not as strong, but has better hand speed and movement, while Kovalev is not as strong, has worse defense, but is smarter.

What does this fight have to do with triple g? Some people seem to can't stop talking about him Yea, this guy is either a terrible troll or needs to seek help. There are a few guys obsessed with Golovkin around here.

IK its off topic.... but whats the deal with mikey garcia lately? I know he got free from the grasps of the old man. http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=709391

Great news!!

Kovalev by decision, he possibly stops Ward but I doubt it.

I'm liking Ward in a slow and ugly fight IK its off topic.... but whats the deal with mikey garcia lately? I know he got free from the grasps of the old man.
