I think Kovalev wins easily by KO. I don't think Ward will ever fight him. Kovalev will fight any fighter his weight. Ward used to fight the best 5 years ago. The 31 year old Ward no longer fights the best. He just fought Smith who is not a top 10 guy. Wait till his next fight is announced. I bet it won't be against a top 10 world rated guy.
Kova already prove he can dominate master boxer in Hopkins, but ward is still young and therefore sharper than hopkins. but ward must bring his A game to this fight, he must find a way to get close and take the initiative. there is no way Ward gonna win if he only thinking of countering and pot-shoting.
