He can be alot more aggressive though, when he knows he isnt outclassed. Ward maybe more aggressive himself, they both are more confident. only one fighter has homecooked judges....
Angry Kovalev is better than respectful Kovalev. Pascal also made Kovalev angry before the rematch and look how "well" that ended up for him.
Bad move for kov Not good fighting a counter, spoiler, pot shotter awkward sob like ward. Kov will get frustrated We had all this don't fk with kov talk before and it didn't materialise. Much like when klitchko didn't let his right go against fury You can't let's shots go if your opponent isn't there to be hit. You get countered
Its good because Kovalev will knock out Ward. Its bad because after the fight is over and Kovalev wins he will be suffering from anxiety and depression and might get irritable bowel syndrome because of it. Now Kovalev wont be able to eat his favorite foods anymore because anything he eats that doesnt agree with his stomache makes him nauseous. He might suffer from constipation as well or diarrhea, it will probably alternate between the two which will make Kovalev's bathroom habits random and annoying for the Krusher. He will have to consume copious amounts of gatorade to stay hydrated if he does get a loose stomache but if he has constipation he might have to eat more fiber. But he has to becareful he doesnt eat too much fiber because that can also give you diarrhea. Stress makes your irritable bowel syndrome worst so he will have to relax and take deep breaths.
Kovalev fights worse when angry. He looked sloppy against Pascal trying to finish him and was more hittable. He's also more likely to gas that way.
If Sergey Klinchalev returns, same fight. If Sergey Headlockalev returns, same fight. If Sergey Gasovalev returns, shame fight. If Sergey Insidefightalev comes, tough fight for Ward.
