    My gut feeling is Kovalev on points.

    I'm going for Kovalev. I think that his fundamentals are too solid and that eventually his power will count.

    That said if Ward wins it will be in a great display of rythm-breaking, spoiling, potshotting and skill, and he'll be hyped to the heavens if he pulls it off. On paper Kovalev > Ward but for some reason the spectre of a Ward masterclass in boxing hangs at the back of my mind.

    Kovalev by stoppage, and it might look a lot like the Chilemba fight up to the point he went down. Only this time I expect Kovalev to go all out at that point knowing he fights in the US.

    Ward points but I'm not too confident in that.

    All I ask is that there isn't a robbery or controversy. Just a clear winner

    Tarver ko2 Jones, oops I mean Kovalev ko Ward.
    All jokes aside I just cant see Ward losing. Ward might put on an atg masterclass performance. Then again i'll probably change my mind again tomorrow. That type of fight.
