Ward controls distance, and kov only likes to throw straight punches at range.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

To be entirely unfair several British posters had that here too, they were all wrong but it must be in the water.

To be fair it is one of three fights I have on the go now and my eyes had wandered away for a second. I looked back and Ward was in the corner with Kovalev lining up the right hand.

I think the crowd is getting to them. Kellerman and Jones are terrible.

The british commentators are ignoring a lot of what Kovalev is landing. Like immediately after Kovalev landed two clean jabs they were blathering about how Kovalev can't seem to hit Ward anymore.

i probably have it to ward by one or two going into the 12th but i could see how you might have it the other way by a similar score.
