    If it's a close fight and Ward gets the decision you're going to cry robbery without a doubt. If you do hopefully you'll do what you said and stop following boxing and leave the forum. You racist POS.

      I'll put some money on it if Sergey gets to +200, or +300 for KO.

      I pick him to win, although I don't usually bet on even money fights.

        Kovalev is +333 by KO.

          Because the oddsmakers are running with the narrative that Ward "figured Kovalev out".

          If you're a gambler, now's a good time to put your money on Kovalev.

            Ok first I picked Kovalev to beat Ward in their first time, and I scored the fight to Kovalev by like 3/4 points if I remember correctly, now the issue for me was that is the best I can see Kovalev doing against Ward. I think towards the end of the first fight Ward had figured Kovalev out and I just see this rematch as a continuation of the championship round. I believe Ward would box better whereas I can't see Kov doing any better.

                We know who you'll be rooting against, and you'll claim he lost even if it's once again an obvious robbery. You racist POS.

                  Good,if ward is a heavy favorite,it will pay off more when kovalev wins. People keep droning on and on about how ward figured out kovalev,and how it will be easier the second time around. Well,that's just not true. What happened was that kovalev gassed out in the second half,and ward managed to make it competitive. The rounds that ward did manage to win we're pick'em rounds,and they could have gone either way and in no way did ward ever dominate or impress. People talk about ward making adjustments and how he's had months to plan and come up with a new strategy,but the same goes for kovalev. If you guys think that he and jdj have been sitting on their asses these last few months,and not rewatching the first fight and strategizing,then there's going to be alot of disappointed ward fans come Sunday.

                    Robbery? The poll YOU created says it wasn't. 53% said neither was a robbery.

                      Exactly. The answer is obvious.

                      It's a good bet that the judges will give Ward every round they can, and then some.
