The Official: "SOG" Ward vs "King" Kovalev II Fight Discussion Thread

[LoadedWraps]

Koval must suffer to get to 175, he looked drained and smaller than Ward. Ward actually looked some what hydrated although he was pounding down drinks as soon as he made weight.

I like the fight and will be disappointed if Koval doesn't force the action. His punch rate needs to be sky high at the same he MUST relax!

Good luck to both men, be safe and ring the damn bell!

Well said. Great post.

Going with Kovalev decision, expecting a similar fight this time around, but with judges under a microscope knowing the last trio gave free rounds (e.g., the 10th round where Kovalev outlanded and outfought his opponent) to Ward without any justification.

The difference will continue to be Kovalev's jab and threat of power.

I voted Kov ko/tko a while back but as this fight is nearing I think it's going to be a copy of the first fight and Ward will probably get the decision.

The fight hasn't started yet, but Ward's home judges already have him up by 2 rounds!

I think Kovs jab, counters and power are too much for Ward. He tried to be slick last time and got made a fool of whats changed? pic.twitter.com/3TWMS3xnAo

Ward via Robbery, or Kovalev via Ko.

Those are the two realistic possibilities.

I managed to squeeze out a blog preview for this fight. My head is mashed by now which is why it goes to **** at the end. Every time i tried to make it better, it seemed to read worse. So **** it. it is what it is.

I managed to compare Andre Ward to Mike Tyson and Jack Dempsey at one point. That alone must peak your interest

that blog post was a great read ^

Who is the ref in this fight?

[StefanTosic]

My prediction for this fight haven't changed since the moment the first fight was over. In my opinion Kovalev can only do better and refuse to wrestle with Ward. I felt that he got tired because of all the wrestling. I'm predicting a KO win for Kovalev, if not that him UDing Ward. I feel like the only way Ward could win is by cutting Kovalev by headbutting or by another robbery, because Kovalev showed me in the first fight that he's the better boxer.
