Kovalev is a rare fighter where rage and emotions usually benefit him.

[SplitSecond]

Its not rage, its just the resolve to be meaner.

[Derranged]

It might work in his favor, it might work against him. We'll have to wait and see.

I said the same thing in the lead up to this fight, he really need to focus and channel his anger and rage in the right way, he is fighting a calm and conning fighter in Ward, someone who uses smarts and little annoying ring generalship. Going up there with pure rage just plays into Ward hands and makes the fight easier for Ward, this is the reason am picking Ward to win the rematch oppose to when I picked Kovalev to win the first fight..... which I believe he did.

Kovalev has only one problem. Well, actually three. The judges.

Or, Ward's knowledge that Kovalev can hurt him with even a jab, and drop him early may be HIS undoing.

Or his knowledge that he can take Kovalev's best shot and still come back and win will give him a boost in confidence.

We don't know that we've ever seen Kovalev mad like this before. Just because the guy is a racist jerk doesn't mean he is always angry.

Kovalev's punches to the face could be Ward's downfall. Kovalev's continuous punching to the head could lead to Ward being brain damaged by the time he reaches the age of fifty.
