          Kovalev won the first fight and got robbed. The handwriting is on the wall. The boxing power brokers want Ward as champion and no matter how the fight goes Kovalev will need a knockout to win. Ward is a protected fighter, he's allowed to hold at will and will do it again in this fight while the referee will blindly look on. Any round that Ward is not knocked down in or completely pummeled he will win and at the end of 12 rounds Ward will win a decision no matter how bad a beating he takes. Most fans have short memories and while their will be outrage right after the fight a few months down the line he'll be on Ring magazines cover and still be P4P in their rankings. A good reason not to buy that rag.

              I agree, this time Kovalev is very angry. Like with sillakh and pascal 2.

                Hope you're seeing all those good things about Ward which is why he never fought him he thought Joe Smith Jr would be far easier.. I'm still going with Ward UD...

                  Maybe, but boxing's power brokers also love a rubber match. If Ward, and I won't deny holding may be a part of it, doesn't absolutely solve Kovalev in the rematch there will be more than enough incentive for a close decision to go the other way.

                    I'm not sure the results is going to be different. Ward figured him out the second half of the fight. What's he gonna do differently? He should have gotten a new trainer to teach him new things. This rematch will set his career back.
