    I would put my money on Ward. The fact that he took control of the latter rounds suggests he found a way to neutralize Kovalev.

    I don't buy the "Kov got too comfortable" line of reasoning.

    Anyway, I see it as a Mayweather vs Castillo type deal. More accustomed to the weight and greater experience going forward. I don't think Ward is given enough credit for adapting in a crisis situation.

      I'm putting my eggs in the Ward UD basket again. Kov is a beast though and has demonstrated that he could definitely win the rematch, by decision or stoppage.

        I see it pretty 50/ 50 again.
        I bet on Kov but I had Ward winning.
        I do wonder if like others have alluded to that maybe Ward has figured Kov out now.
        That said I could easily see Kov going more gun ho and getting an early stoppage.
        It'd be nice if we could talk more about how good and interesting the match up was.
        Rather than cries of robbery.
