Sergey Kovalev comes into this fight the defending champion and undefeated with a record of 30-0-1 with 28 knockouts. He’s won all of his last 6, 3 of them by knockout. In his last fight he beat Isaac Chilemba with a unanimous decision to retain his world titles.
Andre Ward also comes into this fight undefeated with a record of 30-0 with 15 knockouts. He has won all of his last 6 but only 2 of them by knockout. In his last fight he beat Alexander Brand with a unanimous decision to set up this blockbuster fight.
This is a fight I’ve been excited about since it was announced because this is the sort of fight that we as boxing fans love 2 undefeated fighters going at it to unify the division, which can only mean one thing somebody 0 has to go! This should be a great fight but I think you have to give Kovalev the edge because this is only Wards second fight at light heavyweight after moving up from super middleweight, and I’m not sure if he can handle the power of someone like Kovalev.
Isaac Chilemba V Oleksandr Gvozdyk
Isaac Chilemba comes into this fight with a record of 24-4-2 with 10 knockouts. He’s won 4 out of his last 6 only 1 by knockout. This fight could be a career defining fight for him as he’s coming off of 2 back to back defeats and at his age he could very quickly become a journey man. In his last fight he lost to Sergey Kovalev for the world title.
Oleksandr Gvozdyk comes into this fight undefeated with a record of 11-0 with 9 knockouts. He has won all of his last 6, 4 of them by knockout. In his last fight he beat Tommy Karpency with a 6th round knockout.
On paper Chilemba should win this one but as we know fights aren’t fought on paper whoever wins I think it will be on points.
Maurice Hooker V Darleys Perez
Maurice Hooker comes into this fight undefeated with a record of 21-0-2 with 16 knockouts. He’s won all of his last 6,5 of them by knockout in his last fight he beat Ty Barnett with a 1st round knockout.
Darleys Perez comes into this fight with a record of 33-2-1 with 21 knockouts. He is still rebuilding after he lost to Anthony Crolla for the world title. He has won 4 out of his last 6, 2 of them by knockout. In his last fight he beat Ubadel Soto with a 2nd round knockout.
I think this could be a difficult nights work for Hooker as he has never fought anyone the calibre of Perez. So I think Perez will win by a late stoppage
