Boxing fans have asked for quality fights in 2016 and we have largely been denied them. Finally at the 11th hour we get Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward -- a matchup we've been eagerly anticipating since its announcement.

There are a few other interesting things going on this week, but mostly we just need our fix of world class fighting. Kovalev and Ward are two of the best fighters in the world, and nobody seems to know for sure just what will happen when the bell rings on Saturday night's HBO Pay-Per-View.

On this episode of Knuckles and Gloves Boxing Radio, author and filmmaker Brin-Jonathan Butler once again joins Patrick Connor of Knuckles and Gloves, The Fight City, etc. in previewing Kovalev-Ward and its undercard, as well as the possibility of Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao II, Vasyl Lomachenko vs Nicholas Walters, and more.
