The Official: "SOG" Ward vs "King" Kovalev II Fight Discussion Thread

It's official folks.

Kov by KO, though I always vote my heart.

With that being said, I don't think ward looked terribly comfortable with many of the shots he ate, and I think Kovalev will come out like a monster because: a) He won't want to leave it to the judges, and b) I don't really think Ward did a particularly good job of getting Kovalev's respect during the first fight. I suspect Kov will bomb Ward out of there by the middle rounds, with Ward's biggest hope being to have Kov gas late...

I picked ward the first time but am picking kovalev this time by stoppage. Kovalev will come out strong just like the first time but i doubt ward will be able to replicate what he did last time to pull out a very close win.

It would be a big mistake for Kov to push too much for the KO, he's a very good boxer and provided he has better stamina can win a comfortable decision. Guys on the receiving end of a controversial decision tend to be favored more in the rematch anyway so I don't think he should worry about the judges.

Kovalev seems more amped up for the rematch but if he lets frustration of the first fight and negotiations get to him he can fall into Wards trap and be in a messy fight where he can't get into rhythm. He needs to have a strong start like in the first fight. I don't think Ward can get the better of Kovalev from the outside.

Whether Kovalev presses or not....







Ward is going to get CAUGHT SQUARE right on the chin and go down!
