If Kovalev fought like he did today, he'd be out in 9 rounds. That said, I don't think he's going to go though this hiccup without learning and adapting. He'll tighten up his game but it's more clear than ever that (as I've been saying) Kovalev has never fought anyone near Ward's level and will lose a decision.
Also lol at 9 rounds. Ward just fought an opponent who wouldn't see round 5 today vs Kov, and never had him in any danger. Since Shelby Pudwill in 2009 he's only stopped corpse Dawson and fat punching bag Smith

Ward wasn't a big puncher at 168, at 175 he is not stopping Kovalev who has never been stopped.
Now Ward out boxing Kovalev is a possibility, but Kovalev could explode any second with that overhand right which carries fight-ending power. Ward needs too worry about being stopped himself.
Chillemba has a very different style compared to Hopkins and Ward, I hope Ward isn't going to take Kovalev lightly after today's fight because that would be a huge mistake.
Both fighters need to be on their A game to win this fight.Last edited by El JACKAL; 07-11-2016, 11:05 PM.

Real question is 'what round will Ward stop Kovalev'?

Ward better believe that Kovalev will be 100% dialed in for that fight. He said after the fight that fighting back in Russia for the first time in so long had him very nervous. Plus, the last time he fought there, he killed a guy in the ring.

& I actually think its Ward who has looked the limited one after his lay off.
Its amazing how you can win a wide decision over a tough, crafty vet like Chilemba and it changes peoples perceptions so much and they suddenly all forget that Ward has fought only twice in about 5 years getting rocked by British level Paul Smith & struggling rather badly and looking flat against a basic as you can get Barrera.
