    Jab , head-butt , hold and spin then repeat.

    He is very quick and will therefore get off first , plus he is very good at turning his opponents.

    Look for this to be a wide win for Ward with Kov shaking his head by the middle rounds complaining and even smiling saying 'this just isn't boxing'.

    Then look for Wards fans to call it a master class ...

    Kovalev by brutal ko. No one wants ward stinking out the arena, if he can't breakdown Kovalev with clean effective punching, then he's a nothing if he has this supposed great speed, ring IQ and slickness, that I've been told he has even after watching him fight many times then it shouldn't be too hard. Kovalev will be landing clean heavy blows. Looking to fight. Looking to krush

    I know will happen in this fight. ward fans obviously see something in him that his actual performances don't show. I've said it before this will go down like Kovalev vs Hopkins, with ward being more aggressive and looking to dominate but ultimately outgunned and as ward as no where near Hopkins durability he's getting starched. Now why would I lie. Lol

    lol Ward is about twenty years younger than Hopkins and a better athlete than Hopkins ever was. If you expect this fight to play out the same way you are surely going to be disappointed.

    Probably because you hate American fighters and have an agenda.

    Just you wait and see how ward goes into retreat mode as soon as he gets buzzed and it will happen in the 1-3rd rounds. I don't think an opponent has faced Kovalev who hasn't hit the deck be that by the jab to the head body or straight left from shifting position or the right hand. Ward is getting dropped a few times here probably by a nothing looking punch. Kovalev will taste blood, it happens, you're wrapped up in the blanket of wards assumed other worldly skills and IQ

    and you are wrapped up in the notion that Kovalev is some other worldly destroyer, which he is not. Kovalev's nickname should be "the grinder" because he eventually grinds his opponents down. He doesn't have one punch ko power, especially against a fighter the caliber of Ward. I just don't see Kovalev grinding out a win against Ward. A big difference between Ward and Hopkins is that Ward is coming to win, not just to survive and collect a paycheck. Ward's ego won't let him accept losing.

    Its funny how some call certain fights masterclasses. When Ward beat Froch, it wasnt a masterclass at all. Many rounds were close.
    Ward has great ring generalship and composure. He is good at making it look like he is doing more by holding and pushing the opponent back but what many casuals dont realise is that just holding someone and pushing them back shouldnt be scoring points. Ward tends to push forward and hold after taking a shot.
    I am not sure he would get away with it in some fights where refs tend to break the action and want fights kept clean.

    One punch ko artists aren't hard to deal with, by nullifiers like ward. Although Kovalev obviously does have 1 punch ko power, it's far more dangerous for his opponent that every punch he throws is hurtful and it's harder to digest and defend against. Kovalev has dropped people stepping back and throwing a defensive jab, he knocked pascal down with a scuffed jab. He breaks ribs with that jab. It's been to much for fighters to take. The punch that hurt Chilemba looked like a light tap to his ribs but it sent him reeling back and defenseless against the follow up and he is a very tough man. A grinder you say with power in each punch he throws, a rangy boxer and who is strong as an ox. Ward will try to push Kovalev back, and pay the price with a taste of mat.

    Of course there will be, because it would be a major dissapointment. Why are people fans of these boring fighters? I thought sports were for entertainment. Ward is a winner and I see this fight as 50-50, but he's just boring as hell.

    Boxing is the sweet science, not a bare knuckle brawl. If you don't like it, watch a different sport!

    Ward destroys Kovalev in one sided stink fest lol,I can see it now though I really hope not,it's funny though as the fans hate it Carl Froch never complained and was very honest in his appraisal.

    According to these people, Floyd put on a masterclass vs Pacquiao. For this board, a masterclass is landing 3 punches per round, not engaging, then winning the round because your opponent landed just one. Woah, masterclass! Won every round! No it's just a ****, negative performance that gets you W but not even close to a schooling.
