Ward's July 30 Opponent
Ward's July 30 Opponent
Will be Cleverly, Alexander Brand or Erik Skoglund according to Rafael. Probably Clev.
Re: Ward's July 30 Opponent
Clev would be good
The others, especially Brand, are meh.

It should be Cleverly.

It doesn't matter who it is obviously.

Among these 3? No it doesn't. None have a remote chance of winning.

Ward vs Cleverly is a good fight.
If Ward can beat Cleverly then it gives him a lot more credibility heading into the Kovalev fight.

No, but it's still a world class fight.ttornado wrote:It's nothing compared to Ward vs Kovalev
Re: Ward's July 30 Opponent
Cleverly is shot. Kovalev ruined him like Froch ruined Bute.

Re: Ward's July 30 Opponent
None of them is like Kovalev or come even close. What's a point ? Just earn another $2 mil without breaking a sweat ?

Gorge yourself on the lower quality 'cuts' if you like, but those with taste know what is better.Horse wrote:Why have steak when you can have gammon and steak?

I enjoy both gammon and steak.
You should try to enjoy a variety of meat.

Re: Ward's July 30 Opponent
He has no chance whatsoever, he's been a shot fighter since the beating he took from Kovalev. And in Oakland with Ward's home ref, he'll be badly clinched, low-blowed, clamped and head-butted. Even if he did outbox Ward, he could not win on the scorecards in Ward's home town.Horse wrote:Cleverly can do it.
Shabranskyy would be better, he'd at least have a punchers' chance.

I like a horse meat lasagna!
But I know what is the better meat, like I know what is the better fight.

If Cleverly can be screwed over by the judges then so can Ward's other likely opponents, so what does it matter?

Bum squad!
Just some random Eastern European that you want to hype.
He's got nothing on Cleverly.

Re: Ward's July 30 Opponent
Ward vs Cleverly would be solid. A live opponent prior to the big fight with Kovalev.
Re: Ward's July 30 Opponent
I can't imagine Cleverly. He would be a step down from Barrera. Those other guys I can't make a judgment. I don't remember seeing them.diddy wrote:Will be Cleverly, Alexander Brand or Erik Skoglund according to Rafael. Probably Clev.
