Ward stamps his legacy in one month.

love to be in the Ward camp as they dissect that fight

that fight will 100% be a boxing match

the better fighter will win

the guys who are suggesting that Kovalev will walk through Ward are tripping

best of luck to both guys

Nah I would much rather be in the Kov camp to see the faces John David Jackson makes as he he ATTEMPTS to dissect Ward:

Going out on a limb here... Kov drops Ward with an uppercut. Not guaranteeing Kovalev wins, but Ward has prime uppercut real estate sitting there on his chin in every fight... just waiting to be landed on. Brand nearly landed a few times, Boone did land some to drop him, and I'm sure JDJ knows about it.

Ward always offers great insights, like here when he says LHW is a division in which you must have an emphasis on explosiveness and strength. In the Barrera fight I don't think he had his body dialed in. He looked bulky and mobility was a little diminished. Vs Brand, he was tighter and exhibited movement that he had at 168.

"...I'm Feeling Better Than Ever..."



Barring clinching and headbuttz out the wazoo, this fight will end up like that Monty Python 'Bring Out Your Dead' sketch.

"I'm feeling better now. I'd like to go for a walk".

Ward is not really that skillful to begin with. He's not the fastest, not the biggest puncher, dosent have much of a right hand, not the best punch selection and a shaky chin. His best punch is either the jab or a short left hook coming off the break almost like a sucker punch. He dosent have a deep tool box to choose from, he just has his few weapons and he makes it work for himself. His strengths are his mental toughness, physical strength, endurance, timing, and probably his best asset is his ability to make adjustments on the fly.

Hell yeah, that 30+ year old guy whohas been fighting on the biggest stages in the world and hasn't lost since 12 years of age isn't really that skilled at what he does....?
