    Realistically there's not much he can change in just a few months.

    I would focus mainly on conditioning and throwing a lot more body shots.

      He completely nullified wards inside game you need to go watch the fight again,he used too much energy beating ward at his own game,he threw ward about like a rag doll

        Punch more. Especially being more consistent with the jab. He couldn't miss it.

          Won both Pascal fights by TKO, LMAO for starters.

          Secondly, he had to deal with MMA maestro Ward going for takedowns and bear hugs on the inside when he thought he was actually in a boxing match.

          Even given all that, he outlanded Ward and dropped him making him look like a fool.

          In the rematch, he will keep Ward on the outside with his jab and stepping back then countering as Ward tries to lunge in to tackle him. It won't be pretty, Ward's face will be a mess from all the jab work...pure pizza face.

            Yes. But locking up Ward made him lose a lot of energy and, eventually, he couldn't throw his usual amount of hard punches.

              Kovalev to win needs to hire Virgil Hunter.

                It's nigh on impossible for Kovalev to give a better performance than he did whereas with Ward I don't think that was even his best. In fact, I think he'll dominate the fight even more next time round.

                  Well for starters he could wear red trunks instead of blue trunks

                    Come in better shape and set a faster pace and let his hands go when he's in range.

                    Ward can't crack an egg so stop giving him respect

                      Neither can andre ward fight inside

                      Holding and hitting does not = "great inside game"

                      Evander Holyfield was a great inside fighter

                      There's a HUGE difference
