He won 6 out of the last 7 rounds (6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12) Kovalev couldn't handle the body shots and the inside fighting, the second Ward makes it and inside fight it will be all over for Kovalev, we might even see a stoppage
Ward will shut out Kovalev

I watched the first again today and still had Ward winning clearly (I think all the controversy caused me to think Kovalev did better than he actually did) but I don't think the rematch will be any easier for Ward. It was real hard for him to reach Kovalev, who has the width of an eagle. If Kovalev lets his hands go more he might even win it.
Right now, I'm predicting Ward by close decision, though that may change. -
Like the first fight this will be a battle of distances. Kovalev actually clinched very effectively the last fight so we will see how Ward will combat it.Comment

The only stoppage would be KOvalev stopping Ward. This isn't drained Dawson.

Kovalev will win he's the better boxer with the better trainer and strategist in his corner. He'll neutralise that ugly ''inside fighting'' with the uppercut as he did vs Hopkins.
What can ****** Hunter tell Ward?
Ward isn't the same fighter he was at 168 he's now a predominantly left handed fighter, a jabber & he don't have the better jab here, his footwork has slowed drastically. He's not the same fighter.
Kovalev takes it wide for me or stops him. I don't see what Ward does better this time, seen everything he had the first time and it just wasn't enough.Comment

The most rounds I had Ward winning was 6 at the most. I know everyone has their opinions on what happened in this fight. I had Kovalev winning 7 rounds or at the very least 6 rounds. So yeah I had Kovalev winning their first fight. We'll see what happens in the rematch. My prediction for the rematch is reserved for now. I'll wait until it gets closer to fight time.Last edited by The Time; 04-05-2017, 02:26 AM.Comment
