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

    I think it's a possibility. I agree that Kovalev is more apt to stop Ward than the other way around, but if Kovalev throws caution to the wind, Ward could conceivably time him with something good when Sergey is off balance or in an awkward position.

    That's a very good possibility, he was certainly knocked down by being off balanced by Caperrello, or I'm thinking a perfectly placed body shot might do the trick. I know he has a granite chin, but does he have a glass body, we don't know about? Hmmm:elboinas:

    Very true look what happened to Hopkins when he poked his tongue out made him mad

    Frazier wasn't too keen on Ali, still beat him. I haven't been more confident about a slight underdog/evenish money bet in a long time in boxing. Bet the farm and the animals and your family too. Kovalev got this.

    I honestly think Ward will win this in clear fashion now.

    I'd say 8-4 something like that. Then i imagine people will say Kov is old and it means nothing.

    I'd like him to then fight Stevenson, although i imagine people will also say he's old and it means nothing.

    Maybe at that point he'll have to fight Golovkin for approval, although people would still say he's old and it means nothing.

    Ok I'm all out of ideas.

    Peace out.

    I know during the Pascal rematch he wanted to punish and hurt Pascal.

    "You’re selling fear, we’re not buying it" - Andre Ward.

    Kovalev is making a fool of himself, even if Ward won more decisively I still think that Kovalev would carry on like a sore loser. Hell he isn't usually a nice winner so we shouldn't be surprised.

    kovalev won the first fight, but was robbed by the judges, the history books will speak of it, now Ward doesnt want NEUTRAL judges for the rematch, is another robbery coming up? Hopefully Kovalev knocks out Ward before it gets to a decision.

    Ward isn't going to be the underdog. Ward should be a slight favorite just like he was the first time. Actually he may be a slightly larger favorite now considering that he won the first fight.

    Ward is getting banged out... completely done in.

    Kovalev is tired of the politics, and is furious Ward doctored up a new contract.
