They both weighed in at 175. Ward was his usual feeling sorry for himself. Kovalev looked cold and mean like a professional killer. The fight is simple. really: if Ward lands flush the fight is not over; if Kovalev lands flush the fight is over. Ward will be on the defensive whether he plans to or not.

True, but I'm worried about Ward's head butts and other illegal tactics like thumb into the eye.

Because it's a PPV we should not post streams for this fight ( it might result in legal action against castefootball.us ).

Tried to scout Ward on You-Tube but I fell asleep. The guy is boring. He wins but who the hell cares? I don't think he has ever done much to win new fans to the sport.
I did notice in the comments a lot of black-white back and forth. Gosh can you imagine?
I see this as a battle of footwork with both fighters trying to establish their effective distance with punches few and far between at first, which will suit Ward just fine because he's the one in danger. In one scenario Ward is content to just get the edge peck out his usual unexciting decision.
Now if Ward falls behind look for him to resort to his head butting and elbows. In that case I recommend The Crusher knee him hard in the cup on the first offense then on the second toss Ward's ass over the ropes into the third row. But that's only if Kovalev ahead. Otherwise it will look like sour grapes. Kovalev takes a DQ but Ward learns a lesson and they can sort things out with a rematch.
Just a couple scenarios.
As far as a prediction I'll go with Westside. He's been on the money lately.

Gyozdyk good win. I was a bit concerned. Chilemba is the type of strong veteran that can pose problems but good on Gyozkyk in only his 12th fight!

Las Vegas the crookedest city in the world, founded and funded by the Mafia. One judge had the negro ahead 7 rounds to 3. I didn't watch it but the commentators were saying the hispanic guy won every round or close to it.
They were paid to protect that stiff with the long arm's record.
We all know. By knock out or beat up or lose.
