Andre Ward vs. Sergey Kovalev II on June 17

[Master]

This could go either way.

They could give it to Kov out of the perceived injustice just as they did with Lennox v holyfield 2 which was far close fight or Ward dominates by adjusting earlier and winning a comprehensive decision.

Ward has done well to take the rematch immediately as i thought he would try and avoid the fight.

I'm glad the deal is done and the fight is set. It would have looked bad had Ward walked away from the fight.

You and me both.

Kudos to both fighters and their camps for getting it done. The way boxing should proceed.
I rooted for Kovalev last time, and will root for him again.
A little more respect for Ward this time around however, as I had lost all respect for him for fighting once every decade or so.

2017 just keeps getting better and better with all these excellent fights being made.

Kovalev knows he will not receive fair officiating in Las Vegas when facing an American.

He'll need a KO to win, and I think he'll get it, although the home-country referee will once again be doing all he can to help Ward.

I'm leaning towards Kov by decision but can see him looking to hurt Ward and take it out of the judges hands.

Kind of like when Jacobs fought on American soil against GGG and lost a disputed decision...🤔

Officiating was honest in that one.

But Las Vegas is known for it's crooks.

The officiating wasn't bad for ward kovalev. Don't know what fight you were watching if you thought it was.
