What round will Ward stop Kovalev?

[wladavit]

From what I seen Ward might give Kovalev some problems but sooner Kovalev's strength and power will catch up with him.

Round not going to happen.

Ward has failed to knock out so many lesser fighters than Kovalev. Why would anybody think he would KO the tough Russian? Ward might win on points. Ward winning by KO is possible but extremely unlikely. Knocking guys out is a Kovalev specialty. Ward should stick to careful boxing. Going for a KO might be a mistake.

I can understand them. Why you have to like some fighter if he's losing fights. If your favorite fighter losing fights it means that he never was that great in the first place and you should stop caring about him because he'll lose again

And I don't care about Kovalev after Chilemba fight. It'd be better if he lost that one than winning like this. Isaac proved that Kovalev is overrated fighter and his best scalps is 69 y.o Hopkins and washed up super middleweight bodybuilder Pascal

Why I should keep liking some fighter if he's not doing what he's supposed to do? Nobody likes people who lose

I get what you're saying. I guess it all depends on why someone likes a fighter. I like watching most fighters and love watching guys like Kovalev, GGG, Pac, etc. However, I'm a fan of fighters based on their character and some of my faves in that regard have certainly fallen from grace. It's not easy being a Guerrero or Trout fan but I think they're cool people so they've got my support no matter how irrelevant they become.

I'm picking Kovalev to win.

The only way he may lose is if the officials are crooked. The referee is very important, because if the ref permits it, Ward will use his illegal tactics (head butts, arm-clamps, low blows, hitting off the break, etc) and that could make a big difference.

And if Sergey doesn't knock him out, the judges may rob him.

Still, I'll pick a highly-motivated Kovalev by late KO/TKO.

Ward by UD or late stoppage.

IF he beats Ward
And yes, I will
He doesn't even have to beat Ward for that, I will change my tune when he beats some other top 5 light heavyweight in more convincing manner, than Cilemba fight

[MASTERBX]

Ward will make lil k look like an amateur. Therefore he will get no credit for the win.
