Why Bet on Andre Ward?

First of all, Andre Ward is a bad, bad man. The “S.O.G” or otherwise known as Son of God has titles in the WBA, WBO and IBF Light Heavyweight divisions. The 33 year old is 6’0, and has a 71′ inch reach. The orthodox stance shows off Ward’s strengths. A few of his best wins have been over Kovalev, Carl Froch and Mikkel Kessler. Also, Ward is incredible quick, and smart and relies a ton on his footwork to avoid opponents. That gives him the chance to plan and throw punches and he has better speed than Kovalev. The unbeaten record may be a blessing or may be a curse, but to Ward, it gives him the confidence to keep dominating opponents.

Why Bet on Kovalev?

To put it briefly, you can bet Kovalev has a chip on his shoulder from the first loss between these two powers. At 31-1- 1, he is an incredible force using his orthodox stance. The former Russian Champion is also 34 years old and resides in his homeland As of now, Nathan Cleverly, Bernard Hopkins and Jean Pascal are three of his biggest wins. However, Kovalev is known as one of the hardest punchers in all of the sport. He is mean inside the ring as well and can end fights with one shot. There is no doubt that Kovalev will have to make some changes, and in his pre fight training, those have been easiest point of emphasis.

Ward vs Kovalev 2 Boxing Odds Pick & Prediction

In conclusion, this is going to be one of the epic fights in all of the sport. We cannot wait to watch this fight. Kovalev is ready to get after it, and Ward knows he has what it takes to take care of his opponent. This does not have the makings of a fight that will go the entire distance.
