    More uppercuts and hooks after the jabs n rights would help

      I honestly don't think Ward can do anything different than he did.. Some of you guys who think he put on some type of clinic in the second half of that first fight need to get your eyes checked... Kovalev still landed the same punches and Ward just worked the body out of clinches... It's gonna be the same thing over again, a close decision either way...

        Probably Ward by clear decision this time.

        I still give Kovalev a pretty good puncher's chance however. We now know that he has the power to knock Ward out but Ward doesn't really have the power to knock Kovalev out.

            There styles mesh really well....high level chess...I can see a close decision happening but I think ward wins by 4 rounds this time

            It was no clinic but he definitely adapted and took control of the fight.

            That was my fav fight of last year

            Don't get much better than 2 prime/near prime P4P types fighting each other

              First I don't think it happens. Second I think Kovalev wins by KO. As much as I wanted Ward to win in dominating fashion the first fight, I think Kovalev is just too strong for him and I expect the second fight to be a lopsided beat down.

              Still be rooting for Ward though.

                  Still pretty tough. I picked Ward in a close fight the first time, still leaning to Ward. He's just got the external assistance and thus the conditioning to stay in there muscling for 12. Kovalev stands a very good chance though, it'll only be in the first few rounds, he needs to start quick and show no mercy. Problem with Ward is when you try to force a fight on him, a lot of ugly sht will break out as he dives and tackles you to get a clinch, it will be rough, but Kova has to be rough back.

                    Other than that...im super confident about a kovalev KO....i think he was hesitant because of all the hype about wards invincibility and his apparent floyd like skills. Now that kovalev has seen him up close...felt his lack of genuine power and realised that his skills arent much more than shoeshining mixed with a bit of rough house defensive work...i expect kovalev to regain his pride and go straight from the opening bell. Im not sure it will be pretty...but its gonna hurt..and ward isnt going to make the 12.

                      Not interested in seeing this fight again, it's a mismatch for Ward, Kov's only chance to win is getting 2 kd's in different rounds, Ward needs to retire
