Just another day in Boxing.
Kov didn't really look that impressive in his last fight
Ward getting exposed tonight.

Kov definitely has a good chance, but historically at the the highest level anytime a more athletic, technically skilled boxer goes against a great slugger or boxer/puncher, the more athletic, technically skilled boxer usually wins.
Ward can't get exposed, he can get beat. Ward has already solidified why he's great, losing to Kovalev won't change that.
Ward hasn't looked impressive in 4 years, Kov putting an end to that Ward p4p noise tonight. Fighting once a year or so vs. journeymen doesn't deserve the hype Ward gets.

Can't believe they scored Perez Hooker a draw! Rubbish, I had Perez by 5 rounds!!!
Anyway, here we go, both fighters looking confident!

I liked Kovalev in that 1st round. It ain't looking good for Andre.

O my god that was thunder.
Welp, HBO's plan to get Ward beat is working.

Ward is going to lose. You can tell from the first round. He looks completely uncomfortable anytime he gets hit by Kovalev, and Kovalev smartly ties up Ward anytime he tries to get inside.

Kovalev is scary.
Ward looking like Apollo Creed fighting Drago right now.

Kov is great at cutting off the ring, only Golovkin does it better.

I think Ward is really surprised by how good a strong Kov's jab is but alos his footwork is really good.
But I had the 5 a split round

Ward making adjustments and getting a bit of joy, but that Kov jab is the great equalizer

Ward turning the tide, getting some body shots going.
Kov needs to get his jab going again and avoid the clinches, which is Wards territory
