when someone says : "i am not afraid" they already are aware and cautious about whatever they are talking about.
This is a reassurance sentence from Ward to his inner self.
I just hope for a good fight and may the best man on that night win.

Kovalev has no advantages other than what he does inside the ring..... Ward won't be psyched out or overawed, been there done that. Kovalev will have to continually adapt, and over the course of 12 rounds he will need to prove that he is the better fighter, not the harder puncher.

TBH though I think Ward's biggest challenge will be controlling Kovalevs movement. Still can't make a decisive call on this fight though. I been sitting on the fence so long the splinters have got splinters.
true, well said

Ward's first point of order will be to address Kovalev's jab.
The key to this fight will be how Kovalev adapts to Ward.
We will know a lot more about Kovalev after this fight.

Huge Kovalev fan but can't see him winning on the performance he churned out in his last fight. Ward should win 116-112.
