I think Ward finds Stevenson's timing early and beats him to the punch all night, disrupting and smothering where necessary. Course, maybe he can neutralise Kovalev too, but Sergeis range control and movement are far better than Stevenson's and to my mind he's way less predictable.

    Oh yeah. The poll. Ermmm. Just wanna see a good fight - but yeah, I'll prolly be rooting for Kovalev.
    You made my argument for me in the first sentence. Stevensons style will force Ward to throw. Stevenson isn't a predictable come forward fighter in the way Kovalev is. As much as I want him to win I just see frustration for Kovalev. Hope I'm wrong.

      I'm cool. Agree to disagree. Stevenson is dangerous but I see him as being much more predictable than Kovalev who can string together some really creative **** at times and uses far more movement - and does it intelligently. I can get your point of view though, just see things differently.

                    True - he's boring, feather-fisted, resorts to illegal tactics, clamps opponents' arms, and tries to run out the clock for dull UDs.

                    He's smugly arrogant, selfish, egotistical (calls himself "Son of God") and has a sense of entitlement.

                      Kovalev had VADA testing for his last fight with Pascal. Will Ward (who worked with Victor Conte) accept VADA testing?

                      Will Ward have a referee who is on his side, and permits him to foul (like Jack Reiss did in Ward-Kessler, or Lawrence Cole did for the home boxer in Lomachenko-Salido)?

                      You're shot bro...burnt completely out...time to hang up your hood man...the burning crosses that Ward and Krusher are gonna land on each other will probably make you forget that you're rooting for the white guy lol....this fight is gonna be a classic...stop planting excuse seeds because if you say **** loud and long enough...minion minded mfers will start to believe it....enjoy the fight bro
