Ward has already won the fight - this is a huge betting opportunity!

I always try to stay one step ahead.

Every now and again i get two steps ahead and lose balance though :-(

 

When you have all three Ward judges, referee, boxing commission, you should bet on Ward. The problem is that the referee might have a difficult time keeping Kovalev off SOB, the referee will try to keep Kovalev from beat the hell out of SOB's dirty arse! This fight appears to have been bought off and I blame Duva for allowing criminal judges to judge once again.........................SOB is a cheat, nothing but a cheat, a liar, pure slime..........

 

Most if not all of the potential for improvement would seem to be on Ward's side.

He either takes a wider decision than before in an even uglier fight, or Kovalev gets checked by wreckless or desperate openings he may be forced to offer.

I'd like to see Kovalev find new gears to get the job done, he's the more pure fighter of the two and better servant of the game... but that's wishful thinking in a sport that forgives nothing - Ward will adjust, Kovalev will try harder and the result will be the same, just more conclusively in Ward's favour.
