    I think while trailing on the cards somewhere mid fight Saad gets to him and stops Kovalev .

    I think Matthew mauls him.
    Kovalev didn’t show much resolve when the chips were really down against Ward.
    If that’s in question it’s not a good place to be sharing a ring with the much harder hitting and lion hearted Matthew Saad Muhammad.

    Saad would catch up with Kovalev and stop him in the later rounds

    I said Kovalev by KO but Saad has a good chance of winning, also by KO

    What's the over/under on knockdowns? 4. or 5?

    I think Saad ruins him with a brutal ko. 1 punch ko from Saad to add to his other 1 punch ko's. Terrific fight for us the fans but a huge huge price to pay for the loser.

    Kovalev was really a H2H force in his short, non-alcoholic prime. On top of that he was a tidy boxer who moved well and could do some unorthodox and creative things in the ring. Kov winning this wouldn't shock me tbh.
