    Could Ward handle Adonis "slick power" style?

    He may handle stiff power

    but can he handle slick power?

    Not trying to be kidding, but I think Stevenson is worse stylistic match up for Ward than Kovalev

        I guess that means he can't punch

            Kovalev and Ward will pick him apart. If Kov can nullify wards left hook then it is sure as hell he can disarm Stevenson. Snd ward schools stevenson, mauling him on the inside and dirty tactics of headbutts and elbows.

              Stevenson hasn´t fought anybody, so I guess his management is not that confident about his abilities. Kovalev, Ward and Beterbiev would beat him without problems. The Fonfara rematch was just a waste of time.

                I think Ward would win most rounds. I think at sometime in the 12 rounds Stevenson hurts him and finishes him off. Stevenson's left hand is very accurate, fast, and deadly. He doesn't have to worry about Ward's power too much so he can be very aggressive and attack Ward relentlessly.

                  Ward gets in low and has good head movement. I think it'll be hard for Stevenson to land that clean shot. He's accurate against stand up fighters but I think his (Forgive me for this I don't know how to categorize it) tribal style wouldn't work against somebody like Ward.

                    Well nobody could in 42 bouts... next point ?

                    Stevenson seems to be more powerful than even Kovalev, so I don't know ...
