I thought it was a great fight with outstanding defence from Ward that sometimes gave Kovalev too much credit. Ward also did well in outpointing Kovalev with body shots on the inside and the occasional right to the body on the break. I honestly couldn't call the fifth round on the first viewing, hence the 10-10. Still, I had the win for Kovalev. 1- K10 W9 2 - K10 W8 3 - K10 W9 4 - K10 W9 5 - K10 W10 6 - K9 W10 7 - K9 W10 8 - K9 W10 9 - K9 W10 10 - K10 W9 11 - K10 W9 12 - K10 W9 Kovalev 116 - Ward 112
