Kovalev will probably be more cautious this time around knowing that Ward is not an easy fight. In the first fight he admitted he was surprised how easy it was in the beginning. This may have led him into a false sense of security causing him to give away rounds. This time he knows it won't be easy no matter if he gets off to a fast start. Him gassing will also be in the back of his mind. Ward will have the upper hand in the rematch and Kovalev will need a solid game plan.

you could be right, but I think that would be his undoing
he needs to be aggressive, but smarter
I see this as a very difficult fight for Kovalev

I'm excited about this fight but the more I think about it. I know it's going to be ugly and boring.
I can't blame a shorter armed fighter for doing "what ever" he needs to be effective ( minus hitting the balls) on the inside. That's the smaller mans game.
Kovalev must be like old Klitzchco, boring as hell keeping those little short arm dudes on the outside. It can be done but I personally don't think Kovalev has the discipline to do it properly for 12 rounds. He does have the talent though.
Don't think I'll buy the fight this time.
I will pay to watch Kovalev smash Stevenson.Last edited by MONGOOSE66; 06-12-2017, 09:27 PM.
