Son of god, has to be the worst name in boxing history, and he actually thinks he's the son of god. I really hope krusher destroys him.

you got it wrong,his best bet is to get as close as possible and smother kovalev..ward does not want to be at the end of his punches

Interesting. I just have to disagree because Kovalev's timing/measurement of distance is absolutely A+ (and underrated and overlooked) and I just don't see Ward smothering Kovalev as a successful strategy, because not only due to the above, but I also don't see Kovalev allowing himself to get smothered, he'll touch Ward where he has to and I think Ward will decide to keep his distance at all times, if possible. If Ward constantly tries to get inside and clinch, he's going to get caught with a huge shot due to perfect timing, I think.

Now on the flip side, obviously Kovalev has never faced a fighter as elusive, skilled and smart as Ward, so he cannot do that "come on! come on! give me something! **stick my tongue out and taunt you**" type of stuff that he's done before when he doesn't respect his opponents power or skills. He needs to be 100% focused and make sure he sticks to his game plan or else he could get frustrated.

But he's a true professional (as is Ward) and JDJ is absolutely fantastic at keeping Kovalev in check and getting him to listen to his orders and stick to the gameplan, so I believe that he will take care of business and stay focused.

As I said, if Ward wins, it would have to be one of the best boxing performances of all time (IMO) and I would be absolutely Krushed and stunned if he managed to pull it off.

Clinching won't matter. To clinch Ward is going to get close to Kovalev, Kovalev is longer and stronger, if Ward gets close he's getting KO'd.


His only chance is to stay as far back as possible and literally run (not box, I mean run) around the ring for 12 rounds, 36 minutes and avoid 400-500 punches coming his direction from Kovalev, while landing enough potshots to score points (and even then he'd only be scoring MORE points if he successfully evades every Kovalev punch)

Sounds tough, right? Exactly, which is why a Ward victory would literally have to be the absolute best boxing performance for 36 minutes in the sports history. (and would make him a top 3 fighter of ALL time, IMHO).

If he doesn't manage to accomplish that, (which he won't, because once he feels Kovalev's power I promise you he will be in survival mode all night, he won't care about winning anymore, just getting out of the ring in one piece)- his glass chin is getting broken.

So, essentially, as you can see, he basically has less then a 1% chance of winning. It's almost statistically impossible. Now- don't take this as one of those "dude wtf YDKSAB this is a 50/50 fight, best fight of the year!!!" It absolutely IS not only the fight of the year, but the fight of the decade. Winner is P4P king, obviously. The thing is that, it just simply isn't "50/50" as you can see- a fight can be super important but be one-sided, and that's what this will be. Obviously not because Andre Ward is overrated, he is sublime. But because Kovalev is just that damn good.

(no bias, really)

I would think that Ward would want to get as close as possible. That's when he's at his best and Kovalev will have to take away that strength by making him pay. But I think Ward will want to stay on the inside so he can smother Kov's punches and hopefully Kov will tire out in the later rounds.

I don't think he thinks he's the actual Son of God, but using his platform, kind of like Pac to bring the Word of God.... but yes, as a child of God, that makes him and everyone on this forum a Son(Child) of God.
