Smaller weight classes are bad comparisons this is light heavy

We'll see if Ward actually figured him out or not. I saw Kovalev gas a little. Not sure he was figured out.

That's the problem. Ward hasn't figured him out. I'm not saying Ward won't win but to think he'll have an easier time with Kovalev the second time around is delusional. Kovalev boxed and took his foot off the gas pedal, arguably from the body shots Ward landed and of course the clinching.
