I think it's a great matchup and the winner would be the undisputed #1 contender to Wlad (assuming he takes care of business) so obviously huge stakes.

Wilder will CRUSH Fury
I could of swore i heard rumblings of Wlad hanging them up after this next fight win or lose

Pacquiao has done his part, agreed to terms, signed the contract and sent it over to Mayweather. It's up to Floyd to sign and announce. Of course, we've been down this road before with Floyd, so let's see if he mans up and announces this thing and makes it official...tonight at the NBA All-Star game preferred. I wonder how difficult it will be to scoop tickets to this.

Who you got?

Ward on points. I think he'll get inside enough to control the tempo and scorecards. I like Kovalev's style, and I think he generates power from bad angles as well as any fighter out there at the moment. But I just don't think he's got the handspeed to keep Ward from working his way inside.
And I wouldn't be surprised if he knocks Ward out, either. Which is pretty much why I think it'll be a great fight.

I see it the same way. I think KO is the only path to victory for Kovelev. No other route, but if anyone can pull it off it's him. Ward is so damn slick that I have to believe he will pull it off by being smarter in the ring. I'm hoping for at least 9 great rounds. After that someone can get KTFO and I'll be happy.

And when people ask "why," you can point to this fight. In at least half the rounds, more time was spent holding and clenching and pushing than punching. Who the **** wants to sit around for an hour and watch that ****? At least in MMA when they're holding they're (usually) trying to make a move of some sort. You're not just tying up your opponent to grind the fight to a halt.
On another note, I'm no huge boxing or fighting fan, but it doesn't make sense to me that you beat the champ when you never even knocked him down. And on top of all that you got knocked down yourself.

I feel the same way when I see an MMA fight that ends in a submission, which it seems like too many of them do. At least you can't WIN a boxing match by tying up, right?
