    If ward is breathing at the end of the 12th, he wins.

    I don't think he will win unless he stops Ward because again the judges will favor Ward like last time.. Big problem in the good ole Us of A..

    To those who don't think it was a robbery you are forgetting that Kov was the champion so to beat the champion you need to do more than "win close".

    A fight like this should have gone to the Champ because the challenger didn't do enough to take the titles away.

    Because it was close yes still have a rematch but Kov should have been given the win last time...

    The fact he wasn't = robbery...

    I believe yeah,he will get robbed easily once more...especially if there are no knock down or knock downs in his favour this time.Its inevitable.

    Last fight i felt Kovalev won like 8-4 + knock down and only way to give the fight to Ward was 114-113 7-5 rounds robbery with ALL close rounds going to Ward,all of them close ones he 'won'.Fight wasnt close at all but home turf,american judges,american referee etc.

    And still even if im big fan of Kovalev,imo he had to go for the KO when he had Ward hurt and down once,he is the bigger puncher,Ward was moving up to 175,etc etc...not buying those excuses that Kovalev wanted to show he can box [his own words].

    Sometimes you cant knockout every opponent but he had to give it all and try,simply because robbery was inevitable.

    He wasn't robbed. He lost a close decision.

    If Kovalev wants to win he should focus on dominating the rounds with clear punches; he lost the fight because he frantically tried to find one big KO punch after the knockdown and he couldn't find it.

    P4P King Ward won the first fight 7-5 by destroying Kovas body and sapping away all of his stamina.

    I expect the same done in the 2nd fight with Ward winning in more dominating fashion.

    People still gonna ***** and moan after the result though, hope the same clowns who did nothing but cry months after the first fight do the same thing after June 17th. Comedy gold seeing these fan girls cry oceans of tears.
