The first fight was intriguing as it was divisive.
Andre Ward was knocked down in the second round, but came back to win the fight on all three judges’ scorecards.
But it was by the slimmest of margins – 114-113 on all three.
Most media in the T-Mobile Center had Kovalev winning the fight, with the Russian shellshocked when he found out he had lost.
Andre Ward has the superior boxing skills, but hasn’t faced anyone with the power the heavy-handed Russian brings to the table.But for us, Kovalev’s chance was in that second round of the first fight.
Ward will study his mistakes meticulously, and can score another points win.
The match will be very tense, exciting as well as most enjoyable.
