    I just wish that Kovalev had a more diverse punch arsenal and a better inside game. Ward cannot punch.

    Ward is a sitting duck to anybody with huge power who can get inside and thump him with hooks.

    Kovalev does have a diverse punch arsenal, or he used to, that's my point about the Clev match, watch it, and all his pre B-Hop matches as a reminder.

    I will watch them to refresh my memory. Why do you think he's been sticking to more straights in recent fights?

    Because he doesn't want to give master counter punchers like Hopkins, and Ward or decent counter punchers like Chilemba and Pascal opportunities to counter him. I doubt their punches will have much effect, but why risk letting rack up points and give them the slight possibility of pulling ahead on the scorecards when you can easily control and dominate them with a jab and straight right.

    Makes sense. Kovalev may want to inject a little risk into his gameplan with Ward though. Maybe take 2 to give 1 from time to time. I mean really hammer that guy when he gets a chance.

    Kovalev by TKO or Ward by another robbery.

    I picked Ward by close UD the first time.

    I didn't know it would be soo close to the point I thought he could of lost.

    Regardless, stupid or not I'm taking Ward by close UD again.

    I just want a good fight overall one way or another with a clear winner this time, no matter who that is.

    I picked Ward SD the first time around, probably going to go with that again. Will likely be another close and controversial fight.

    Kovalev will have to knock SOB out to get a draw, that's a fact! SOB owns the referee and judges, SOB should be warned and should have had points taken away from him for all the low blows. SOB tried to headbutt Kovalev over and over again, SOB did not fight, he wrestled.......................WWE belt on the line for SOB...........

    Ward will Win again,
    Kovalev will make Excuses again,
    Ward fans will smile and make fun of the other side again,
    Kovalev's fans will get upset again.

    Same cycle all over AGAIN :69:

    I pick the same winner as last time.

    Only this time Kovalev will put a full stop on it.
