    He needs to go beyond that to be considered great, though.

        Beat Kov and you're in the HOF. Unify the LHW division, and you're an ATG! USA! USA! USA!

          I agree. This will secure his legacy. Olympic gold medal, unified 168 and 175 champion. Good stuff. However, I hope he wouldn't stop there. Fight Stevenson and maybe a few more names at the division. If you clear 175 out and win at Cruiserweight, you move into esteemed ATG territory. Being the best at multiple divisions and taking on the best out there is how you will be remembered. Excited for this fight!

            Does anyone know how I could get this fight if I only have access to the interwebz (i.e. I don't have cable, dish, etc.)

              There's nowhere to really go though. LHW doesn't have many known fighters. Gvozdyk and Beterbiev are still prospects basically and Adonis is a hypejob.

              I know he said he wants to be a HW champ one day, but it's not gonna happen. The HWs today are wayy too big for Ward. And he's no RJJ.

                IMO if he beats Kov soundly he will make the HOF without question.

                  He's still young though, there's longevity and dominance to be achieved.

                    Go on youtube and watch some videos on how to set up Kodi. Also watch some videos on add-on's many are free, some are paid almost all have some sort of tv streaming capability for events like these. I pay $5 bucks or so a month for one and watch all the fights on it.
