By Rishad Marquardt: Over the weekend, Las Vegas hosted the second installment in the Andre “SOG” Ward – Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev saga in which Andre Ward scored an emphatic 8th round TKO over Sergei Kovalev. As was true the first time round, this fight was going to be special. Two of the highest caliber fighters in boxing, both with glittering career records, both ranked at the top of the pound for pound lists, both fighting an opponent that would define how people would evaluate them after they hang-up their gloves.

By Jeff Aranow: Andre Ward (32-0, 16 KOs) gave himself credit for stopping Sergey Kovalev (30-2-1, 26 KOs) in the 8th round last Saturday night in their rematch. Ward denies hitting Kovalev low with 3 consecutive low blows in the 8th. Ward says Kovalev was merely acting like the shots were low, but they were really legal punches. Ward also gives referee Tony Weeks credit for a job well done in working the fight. Weeks appeared to blow the call in scoring it a knockout after Ward’s 3 low blows.

Andre Ward considering Adonis Stevenson fight

By Jeff Aranow: Following his low blow stoppage win over Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev last Saturday night, Andre “SOG” Ward says he’s considering a unification fight against WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis “Superman” Stevenson, as well as a move to cruiserweight or heavyweight. Stevenson (29-1, 24 KOs) is a southpaw with one-punch power that he uses to knockout his mostly marginal opposition. Ultimately, I see Ward staying FAR away from Adonis Stevenson simply because he’s too dangerous to fight. Stevenson would be a threat to knocking Ward out every second he’s in there with him, and I believe instinctively, Ward knows this. Ward selected Kovalev to fight after studying him and realizing he would have a chance of beating him. I believe it’s no coincidence that Ward didn’t select Stevenson to fight when he moved up to 175.

By Matthias Predonzan: As could be expected, in their rematch fight, Andre Ward and Sergey Kovalev started from where they had left, with Ward controlling the fight and Kovalev having lost his confidence.

This is quite the standard, when 2 fighters fight a rematch: the best boxer, the one with better boxing IQ takes control of the fight in a more convincing way than in the first fight.
