Artur Beterbiev vs Andre Ward

[johnm is...]

"the fighter you all said would do a Pavlik on him"

I have literally no idea what you're talking about.

And someone not having the ring IQ of Floyd Mayweather doesn't make their ring IQ overrated.

Ward's spent 5 years fighting nobodies. But not Beterbiev. He's been KO'ing the best of the best in his young career.

Beterbiev would eat Ward's jab all night.

Even you aren't dumb enough to believe this. Beterbiev flat out not anywhere close to being ready for a fighter of Wards caliber.

the poll is 50/50 so im not the only one

I hope Kovalev dominates Ward, beats Stevenson after, and meet in a clash verse Beterbiev

Very good chance he could it just will depend on how well Ward responds to Kovalev hitting him and believe me Kovalev will land on him.

The only fear Kovalev fans should maybe have is Ward trying to be dirty and clinch away for 12 rounds I don't think he can replicate what Chilemba did he just isn't that type of fighter.

If slow as molasses Barrera landed on Ward, I know damn well Kovalev will.

Kovalev wins UD IMO

hes never fought a power puncher like them two, much like bernard did he will go into retreat mode as soon as he feels kovalevs power, you know, the fighter you all said would do a pavlik on him. ward is no floyd mayweather when it comes to ring iq, is hittable. 5 years of fighting nobodies and noone is going to bite him in the arse.

ward is no mayweather, he also isnt a 50 year old hopkins

see you in november, everyone is hittable, i guess you forgot the other guy will be getting hit

idk know about you all but I did pick Hopkins to outbox him in a close fight, Kov showed his boxing ability and class.

Ward is a better fighter than Hopkins in 2015

i picked kovalev to do a real number on him and im expecting the same against against ward. Picking ward is going to be a similar headscratcher predictions to the hopkins one, people said 'why did i pick a 50 year old man' then, this time they will be saying 'why did i pick someone whos fought nobody in 5 years'

[Froch_uppercut]

Beterbiev's side said they want one or two more fights before Kovalev.

He should take an easy cvnt first, like Ward. Andrea can't hang with these guys, they are men, he is a princess, simple as that.
Beterbiev Vs Kovalev is a great fight (I think Artur beat him in the ams) - a good tune up for Beterbiev (for Kov) would be that Umar Salamov cat. Kid will have a say at 175 for sure.

i picked hopkins because I wasnt sold Kovalev's boxing ability short and his stamina.

doesnt change the fact Ward is not Hopkins by any stretch

no one in history has predicted 100% of fights correctly

its cool, i like both fighters...kov and Ward, I just think Ward wins. niothing more or less

[MDPopescu]

I didn't take B-Hop vs Kovalev very seriously -- it rather seemed to be a "passing the torch" fight...

Kovalev highly respects B-Hop, they remained friends after the fight -- with B-Hop giving advice regarding a healthy diet...
