HOW DO YOU SEE SATURDAY’S ELEIDER ALVAREZ vs SERGEY KOVALEV REMATCH PLAYING OUT?

Tey Lynn-jones

Middleweight prospect

I believe Alvarez was heavily underrated going into that fight and now, with the confidence and recognition from that win, I believe it’s going to go same way. It perhaps won’t end in a stoppage, but it will be a win for Alvarez, even though Kovalev is desperate to get revenge.

We don’t really know if the first night was just a bad night for Kovalev or if the two defeats by Andre Ward have really taken the spark out of him. Kovalev has also had a major issue in his personal life come to the surface recently. I think Alvarez will win again but on points.

Ryan Walsh

British feather champion

“Krusher” Kovalev on points. The secrets out with Alvarez’s power and style. Kovalev is the better boxer and I expect him to show that. He will evade the bombs and keep Alvarez at arm’s length – exactly where “Krusher” is at his most dangerous.

Gary Logan

Trainer and former fighter

Kovalev has had draining fights with Andre Ward and suffered a stoppage defeat to Alvarez. Alvarez will be confident and, more importantly, fresher. I’m going with Alvarez’s sharper punching to reintroduce us to Kovalev’s decline via late stoppage.
