Rewatched the fight again and thought Kovalev still won (little more clearly this time around). Many rounds where a punch or two could have determined who got the round.
Ward did incredibly well to not only stay in the fight but to make the comeback he did. Although I gave the fight to Kovalev, Ward appeared to be the more focused of the two through out. |

One thing Kov could do differently is his inside game. Throw an uppercut or a check hook when Ward tries to smother him. His lack of an inside game is what cost him the first fight.

RE: Ward-Kovalev II set for June 17th in Vegas
How about in the rematch Kovalev could throw punches to the body starting in the first round instead of waiting until the final third of the fight? That would make a huge difference, IMO.
Where is the rematch going to be? The first one was far too distant from Ward's home turf as it was in Vegas, so no doubt the rematch will have to be at the Staples Center, maybe even closer to home? |

BBS the fight is being held at the Mandalay Bay in Vegas. I noticed that too rewatching the fight that Kov got to Ward later in the fight with body shots. They appeared to have an effect on Ward. Kov should really work behind the jab and go to the chest too. It seems many are sleeping on Kov already here.

I reckon this one will be down to the wire yet again!
A coin flip IMO. I hope if it is close again, Kov gets the rightful decision this time! Either guy will have to face Gvozdyk and Beterbiev next, either who could upset the apple cart! Hopefully these guys fight for the right to challenge the winner! |

Ey ATN..who has a better shot against the top 2 out of Gvozdyk or Beterbiev? I've only seen Beterbiev and think he would have better chance against Kovalev than Ward. Gvozdyk I know nothing of

Not sure Viper. I also think Beterbiev could be a horror matchup for Kovalev. A guy who will bull Kovalev, and Kovalev can't fight on the back foot, nor on the inside. So unless he can stop Beterbiev, he is in for a very very long night, and Beterbiev looks like he has been raised by beasts in the mountains of Russia somewhere, so I imagine he can take a hell of a punch!
I think Gvozdyk is a better boxer though. |

Man Kovalev looks like he is in NO MOOD here. He has been pissed the moment they announced the decision for the last fight.. Kovalev means business here telling Ward he will end his career before taking off

The more this fight builds up, the more I can't stand Ward again. He seems so smug all the time, like he has something to say, but doesn't need to because he is so far ahead of everybody else with his god-like morals!
