    Kovalev vs Ward II - Who have you got winning?

    I'm going with Krusher via KO. I think he knows now what worked for him in the first fight and anytime he has had a rematch he improved tenfold. He's smart and a much better boxer than he has been given credit for.

    I'm predicting that domination we saw in the first part of the fight is gonna be the full story of the rematch. Sergey's reach and jab was giving Ward a lot of problems, if he stuck with it instead of playing the grappling game with Ward he would've stopped him well before the final bell.

    That's what he'll use to probe throughout the fight and then follow it up with some devastating combos until Ward can't take anymore.

    Kovalev via T/KO by 8.

    It is impossible for Kov to win a decision in the US so Ward just has to survive to get the W

    Ward UD

      Is it confirmed to be taking place in the US? I'd imagine there will be some serious talks about location and staff after all the controversy from multiple fights on Saturday night.

          i honestly had ward winning by one point but it easily could of gone kovalevs way. both were evenly matched in my opinion. so many close rounds. in the rematch i see the fight being close again.. kovalev may get the knockout or ward might be more flawless

            Let's have it in Moscow, Russia, three Russian judges, one Russian ref, Russian commentary team, Russian broadcaster and all the rest.

            Ward is good at having the advantage on his side as a challenger will he be man enough to do what Kovalev did?

              I'm not even gonna vote because the fight will be in the US and I assume there will be all American officials again but we've already seen Kovalev has the superior jab, superior right hand, better at long and mid range and hits harder. He can also handle ward on the inside.

              If Kovalev turns up the activity in the middle rounds, he can stop ward but tbh, we don't know how he'll get screwed a second time lol

                I would favour Kovalev in a rematch, big time.

                He's going to come out smoking, he's got the boxing ability to set up his power punches and run right through Ward. Kovalev can be nasty in there.

                  thought ward would win the first easily. I have no idea about this second fight.

                    The first fight suggests Kovalev wins a rematch. He can probably do more differently than Ward.
