Oh how the mighty have fallen...
Kov is a proven beast but TKO8 is real.

When he came into his Sagat-like Street Fighter music, it actually made me think damn, that's a scary monster.
The look he had in his eyes when looking at Ward during the referee instructions - they were genuinely soulless and he was out for death. No rhetoric, it genuinely was the case.

I rate Ward so highly anyway that Kovalev turned out to be the one I'm most impressed with. For me, Ward proved his ability against genuinely elite opposition and looked very, very impressive against them. We all knew he was the goods at that truly elite level. Ward is as 'proven' you can be.
With Kovalev, we saw him dominate 'good' opposition, but none of them were elite. So to see him be evenly matched with Ward has made me massively respect him. Hell, most boxing analysts and even casuals have him winning the fight.

Sergey Kovalev is truly legit. Ward is an ATG talent to me, I can say with full confidence on an H2H level, Kovalev is too.
