Talking to the boxing heads I know they look at Hopkins vs Kovalev as a key to Ward vs Kovalev. I think thats wrong due to one factor....John David Jackson. He knew Hopkins inside and out and Kovalev was able to implement the game plan perfectly.
Hunter and Ward worked together so long and have had to adapt to whats going on in the fight (both as fighter and coach), that the win or loss would be on if they can execute the most effective gameplan.
In my opinion Ward's camp will devise a plan to give Kovalev angles, make him guess and try to take him into deep waters.
Kovalev's camp will have a plan to get Ward in trouble early. To keep him at range for the right hand and not let Ward smother him.
This fight is a boxing fan's dream of two undefeated fighters, in their primes, with a great clash of styles. Thoughts?
