Ward Kovalev 2 first staredown

[Lester Tutor]

I think Kovalev was thinking about making t-shirts with chimps on it on that stare down whereas Ward was thinking about tshirts with champs on it.

Koval really struggles to get to 175 at his age.
Ward does also but he doesn't over act and over think the way Koval does. Sergey needs to shut up and train harder than he ever has and be able to hit his weight mark with less stress. He must be able to produce a higher out put of punches while using more upper body movement.
Ward knows what to expect from Sergey but he might have a problem with dealing with "more" Sergey than the first encounter.
This is Sergey's fight to win or loose.

I think kovalev wins this time dominantly.

I doubt ward gets another miracle win. Kov probably comes on strong this time again and never lets him off the hook.

Ward will probably try to spam his "inside work" lol.

And fatigue even faster? Yea... let's hope he does come on stronger.

Yeah you're right, the odds of ward going down or looking overwhelmed in the second fight are pretty slim.

How? lol. When both guys were fresh early on ward looked overwhelmed and i was rooting for him. He barely managed to pull out a win in the mid to late rounds and even then the rounds he was winning werent even dominant. You could even say ward lost like many think. There is no bias here. Hes not gonna go out their and get another miracle win like last time. Kovalev is bigger and stronger and can box as well.

If he was to, Ward will get on that bike until he wears kovalev down a little. Ward knows how to nuetralize aggression. He's a technician.

In the first fight he had to make a statement that kovalev couldn't bully him.

Very good assessment. To me, it is very interesting to see how will Kovalev react psychologically. I have an impression that the first time he respected Ward way too much. This time he is obviously very upset and he will have a different mindset. This could be both positive and negative. I don't like Ward's style but he is extremely strong psychologically. He will have the same approach.

Can't wait for this one!

He can keep Kovalev turning all night.

After watching this face off, I got Ward by easy UD. He's already in Kovalev's head. Kovalev was all nervous dropping **** at the beginning of the video and bending down for his daddy.

Ward by a shutout.

[Simurgh]

I don't like Kovalev's look. He looks like he has quite a few pounds to lose. Ward also keeps talking about Kovalev's bad habits. Anybody knows more about it?

[SkillspayBills]

Ward bit his lip like he wanted to sock him right then and there. **** I love boxing.
