Ward really only became aggressive in the last round (or 2) when Kov showed signs of wilting. Ward kind of perfected the game-plan from the previous bout. I'm not saying he should fight any other way because it suits his particular attributes and skill-set, but that's the reason why I can't watch him against just any opponent. Ward's style is only palatable to me if he's fighting a threat. Passive-aggression is fine when you're fighting someone who can knock your head off. That's why I'd watch Ward/Stevenson.
would GGG fare better than Kovalev vs Ward?
