    We already know you're gonna need more than a 1-2 to beat Ward. He took away Kovalev's best weapon by round 3 to 4. He made him beat him with his weakest weapons, which ended up being nothing. And not to mention, Adonis is a very explosive athlete, and Ward will take his gas tank away with his in grappling, and body shots.

    I think Ward is the hardest boxer to beat in the game, today. He's just way too smart for anyone in or around his weight class. Ward is a computer in there, and is the best game planner in the game.

      I can picture Stevenson gassing out like Kovalev. His stamina isn't good either.

          he jabbed his face off the entire fight. how did he take it away??? thats always been his best punch. not his most powerful but his best. how was that nothing yet those lil body taps ward was landing were a big deal right?

          so ward will grapple(cheat) in order to beat stevenson. cool! looking forward to another ward masterpiece. oh yeah and body shots sure or low blows same thing right?

            OK, my mistake, he took away his best weapon in the right hand, and relegeated him to being a 1 punch fighter, and that 1 punch (the jab) wasn't doing as much damage as Ward's body punching. Ward was tearing his guts up the entire fight with the body work, and had him visibly out of it by the end of round 3.

            And grappling, as in in fighting on the inside, rag dolling Kovalev, a guy that was brushing up on his Sambo training, just for this fight. And I'm usually against clinching, and the likes, but Ward mixed it in beautifully with his body work, and overall arsenal.

            Remember, Kovalev is still super dangerous no matter what, and it only takes 1 punch, so Ward did the best thing you could possibly do by smothering his punches, and not allowing him to get full extension on his punches. When fighting a cutie with power, you gotta make it an ugly fight, and while you may say, he always makes it ugly, that's one of his strengths, making it that much harder to beat him.

            The guys is a master at disrupting your rhythm, and completely taking you of your game, and not allowing you to get started in the first place. I honestly don't see how you can criticize his win over Kovalev, when before the fight, he was this unstoppable monster that you had to throw the kitchen sink at.

            I noticed you can be very unfair when it comes to fighters you don't like, beating fighters you do like. I thought it was one of the most beautiful, and complete performances in history, considering what was on the line, and who the opponent was.

              Andre Ward just try to lowball Stevenson as he did to Kovalev. Stevenson is still waiting for Ward to stop fooling around, so they could start the negotiation process for the Undisputed matchup. When reporters ask questions related to Stevenson, Ward always try to convince fans by saying different stuff to justify why he's not willing to start the negociation process with Stevenson clan, instead of making this fight happen.
              Ward just want Stevenson to beg for this Undisputed matchup, as he did to kovalev.
              To whom you think, Ward is aiming this message to?

              BTW, between Ward and Stevenson; Stevenson brutally wins.

                This ifght has to happen but we're alreday seeing the typical Ward rubbish yet again.

                Stev calls him out, Ward's repsonse "why didn't you respond to fighter A 2 years ago huh?"

                That **** gets old quick. He hsould go back to fighting in whatever backwards town he is from.

                  Adonis used to be an excellent product of Manny's Kronk Gym...
                  ... He can box, but he can't grapple...

                    Duckingson has already said that coWard and his team won't even pick up the phone or return any calls regarding the fight. Looks like someone doesn't want it.

                      You're absolutely insane if you think Ward is scared of Stevenson, or that he'd lose to him. Well, he could lose, just like anyone could lose, but the chances are slim.
