Ward has already won the fight - this is a huge betting opportunity!

LOL he's a can crusher yet is Ward's best "win", I say that because I thought he lost.....so what does that say about Ward.

 

Lol doubtful. He's angry, not shook. Unless by shook you mean distracted, emotional, etc. He's definitely not scared and wants to take Ward's head off. Can't wait.

 

A KO is possible, but I'd bet on it going the distance.

 

LOL his post fight reaction should have been one of a man who's won the lottery

 

How? I don't remember Pachow crying and excuse making after the Bradley loss.

Krushers ***** made tantrums haven't stopped since he lost the fight.

 

Kovalev fights well when he is angry.

Not a good sign for Ward.

 

That's exactly what I mean. Ward is all in the KAN Krusher's head. He's definately not his usual self and nothing about his body language indicates he's feeling confident, IMO. He's shook to his core and my guess is he really doesn't want to see Ward in rounds 7-12 again...

 

If anyone gets KO'ed in this fight, it will be KANvolev..

 

There is only one problem. Kovalev isn't angry. He's insecure...

 

That's exactly what he's going to do. Sergey isn't a dumb fighter. He'll channel that anger the right way.

 

I don't see it. Ward is not a big puncher and hasn't been for the later stages of his career, and Kovalev has shown a granite chin so I see that as highly unlikely. Kovalev, the same as in the first fight will be the one that will be favored my most to win by knockout.

 

Are you referring to the Pascal rematch?

 

I think too much has been thought about Kovalev state of mind. The rematch would be tactical and similar to the first. Both are consummate professional. Ward had success when Kovalev tires out and his body work starting to take effect.
The early rounds will still be controlled by Kov as he is fresh, has a strong long jab and big right. Ward will try to take that right hand away but he will be wary of it, so he will still have to chip it bit by bit. The distance where they fight will be crucial, Kovalev likes his opponent to be at the end of his pole jab so he can land his taunted right to full effect. Kov won't suddenly turn into a brawler and ward defence won't allow Kov to land multiple punches at a time. Ward will either stay outside or work off the clinch.
Kovalev will look to conserve his energy so he will try to land that right hand early but reserve his stamina for later rounds. It still think it will be tight till the end.

 

This made me laugh.

Good one, even though I know you weren't trying to make a joke.

 

I'm trying to recall the fights when he went in ticked off. I know there have been a few of them, or times when he got mad during a match, and he did well.

Some guys lose their minds when they get mad, but Kovalev doesn't seem like one of them. He seems more like a guy who focuses harder and makes the opponent pay. Takes it out on the opponent.
