Just a feeling Ward and Kovelov will play out like Trinidad and Whitaker

I remember Trinidad being the slower moving puncher, powerful right with a good jab and more rangy than Whitaker. While Whitaker was the better boxer, quicker and a master at defense. The fight was a good, but to me didn't live up to the build up. Basically, I thought Whitaker adopted/adjusted well after the kockdown, but afterwards he had to back peddle more and faught more defensively which could've been the reason Trinidad got the win.

Anyone seeing a similar scenario ?
