Obviously, I'm hoping for the local guy and Olympic gold medalist, Andre Ward. But Ward is moving up in weight and "Krusher" is a badass.
Almost identical records: Kovalev at 30-0-1 and Ward at 30-0. Kovalev has a ridiculous amount of knockouts in his last 26 fights.
I'm thinking about getting the pay-per-view.
This Saturday: Kovalev vs. Ward

Re: This Saturday: Kovalev vs. Ward
I really like Ward but have a very strong aversion to guys stepping up in weight against good/great champions.
I'll still side with Ward but.... deep down... I'm scared if he gets tagged, he may not get up from it.

Agreed.
Ward's first gym where he went to at nine is in the town next to where I live now.

Go Krusher! I do like Ward but he's going to get lit up early.

The match up is pretty even. Kovalev has a little reach advantage and Ward's a little taller. 26 KOs for Kovalev and 15 for Ward. 15 isn't bad for a "defensive" fighter.

Actually I am now firmly in the Kovalev corner.... I just think he will hit too hard (and too often) and wear Ward down, and overwhelm him.

Close fight but the wrong decision. I can see how you might have scored it that way and it's not the worst travesty of scoring this year even but it was a draw at the very best for ward. Obvious rematch

Obvious rematch. Yesterday, I was thinking about coming on here and making it interesting with you and Pete and I wish I'd had.
A good day for the Bay.
