    Sergey Kovalev says he will try and drag Andre Ward into a street fight on Saturday night.

    "My right hand will do the job that I need to do in this fight, I don't really have any plans going into my fights - you never know what will happen.

    "For me, each fight is like a street fight as just like on the street you never really know what an opponent is going to do.

    "If I get this win then I might be considered the pound-for-pound number one, but I'm not thinking about it - that is simply a bonus."

    I'm convinced Kovalev is going to lose now.

    I believe him. He will drag Ward to places he never could imagine exist. Ward will come out of the fight a completely different person, not know what the hell has happened to him.

    If the dog fight is on the inside Kovalev will lose.

    How many times have I heard Ward's past opponents say the exact why thing.

    Ward would do very well in a street fight tbh. His in-fighting game is next level. He's the most complete fighter of the last 20 years.

    Yep.

    "My right hand will do the job that I need to do in this fight, I don't really have any plans going into my fights - you never know what will happen."

    If he thinks the right hand by itself will be enough and he has no gameplan then he'll be in for a rude awaking come Saturday night...

    Kovalev, like just about every other EE fighter, has **** for an inside game. Kovalev needs to keep Ward at the *end* of his punches, particularly the right hand, if he wants to have a prayer of winning this fight. Ward brutalizes him on the inside...

    I never put much faith in things fighters say for the most part. Kovalev always prefers a "street fight", but has tactical skills and a good ring IQ to fall back on if he can't succeed in making it his kind of fight.
