I'm not a massive ward fan, or hater, but he's very good. You can't not like kovalevs style, but again I'm not a fan or hater of him either.

Generally after a close fight I tend to be of the opinion the boxer does better than the puncher in a rematch.

For this reason I favour ward by another close decision

Kovalev is certainly more than a puncher I'm being quite general. But ward is the "boxer" of the 2

That is a mistake made by many. Kovalev was outboxing Ward until Sergey gassed out and even after that he took some rounds. Ward is a boxer/spoiler/clincher, while Kovalev is a boxer/puncher.

SOGgy nullified both the boxer and the puncher in Krusher for the 2nd half of that fight.
