I'd definitely pick Lemuiex to knockout Kovalev. I think his punch resistance has been rapidly deteriorating. His confidence and killer instinct is gone, and his legs are starting to go too. I wouldn't expect him to go twelve against Bivol and I wouldn't be surprised if Beterbeiv took him out in the first round. I think he's essentially one more loss away from a gatekeeper. That being said I think he still beats Kamil at this point. Kamil definitely doesn't have the power to keep Kov honest and if there's one thing Krusher still has its a strong punch and I wouldn't think Kamil has the durability or perseverance to stand up twelve rounds of punishment from any heavy handed Light Heavy. Other than being relativley fresh and faster handed he's outmatched in every conceivable way against Kovalev including atleast a fifteen pound weight disadvantage. I couldn't see any path to victory for him in that fight.
There are one or two ways he could get a victory over Kovalev at this stage.....
Firstly Kovalevs new training regime may let him down
