Kovalev seems desperate and angry.

[Scary]

He is definitely letting Ward get to him. He seems confused, angry and not cool. Excuses all over the place, the judges, overtraining and angry in round 5. I gotta say, I hope he wins, but Ward seems lightyears ahead mentally right now.

He feels he was robbed, of course hes angry. He doesnt seem desperate to me

[NEETzsche]

He was the same way in the build-up to Sillakh and Pascal II

Dude earnt forty percent of what the challenger earned I'd be pis.sed if I was him, but he's the one with a shyt contract not Ward, dude should be upset with himself, likely is and that's what we're seeing unless he's cut into the ppv sales and isn't on a flat fee like the current pound for pound no.1 was in the first match against Krusher.

He is frustrated because he lost a fight officially that he clearly deserved to win in the opinion of 80 percent of viewers polled. Ward is content because he got the win and the belts. I don't think it hurts Kovalev to be angry going into the rematch. He will probably train harder and fight harder to get the official win this time.

He will have to train harder, dude looks like he's let himself go.

He was just out stating that he had overtrained for the first fight and felt tired already around 5. So I don't think so.

Look at these "fans" making excuses for a man that is doing nothing but making excuses. Kovalev will be on suicide watch after his loss.

[The Big Dunn]

Kov has every right to be angry because he thought he won the fight. SInce he didn't get the decision, he is being treated like "piece of sh-t" and he doesn't like it.

I am glad he is getting some "act right" from Ward because it pisses the Kov fans off which makes me LMFAO! Sometimes you got make the b side feel like a biyatch to get in his head.

I don't think he is scared though. I think he and his team realize there isn't much they can change or do differently. They are just eager to get in the ring.

It's crazy how good Ward is to piss his opponents.
