It's all good! If you felt Kova won a close fight that's cool, I thought Ward came back strong down the stretch and pulled it off.
I gave 4 rnds to Ward being generous ,he definatly did not win the boring fight nor did nothing to suggest he won no matter how you score the rnds . To be the champion you have to beat the champion . Ward looked like he just woke up and Kovalev fought at Wards pace which was non entertaining . Add the knock down and this was a very dumb or /and corrupt decision .
Is that what you had? 7-5 in Ward's favor? A lot of rounds were SO CLOSE and could have gone either way down the stretch , and I gave him 1 more round then you! But I thought he deserved it!!
I thought rounds 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10 were all close and tricky to score, and of those I gave Ward 3 and 5. I thought Ward was winning the 10th, and that he allowed Sergey to steal the round when he uncharacteristically started showboating. I didn't think Kovalev was especially effective in the 2nd half of the fight, and I thought Ward edged 2 of the earlier rounds.
I keep hearing Kovalev saying, look at his face and look at my face.."I'm the winner!"... no, that's not how you score fights! There's a criteria, and Ward beat him on all counts!
Too many people were watching kovalev with the rose tinted shawn porter syndrome spectacles , ineffective aggression doesn't score points.
Exactly one punch from 1 round can bruise up somebodys face it means nothing plus some people bruise and cut more than others. Ward one the fight, Give him his credit, if there is a rematch clause you will have your chance again, until then no excuses it was a close fight and that's it.
