It's hard for me to pick against Ward but Kovalev at +400 to win a decision is too good to pass up. Sergey HAS to keep this fight being fought on the outside because the ref, Tony Weeks, is known to allow alot of infighting - where Ward excels. Judges in the rematch are historically known to shade close rounds to the fight that public opinion felt won the first fight. And a trilogy is good for all involved. I'm going against the grain here and picking Kovalev on points at the ridiculous 4-1 odds.
