    Incredible display of logic at work, or should I say rationalization.

    Instead of being angry about the decision, you should be angry at Kovalev's promoter/manager for not getting that part of the contract ironed out. Your tears are hilarious though.

    Tears?? Lol!! I actually look at this as a victory for Kovalev bud. No joke. Look at the VAST MAJORITY of opinions by fans and boxing experts. The main tears are from Ward fanbois who are trying to convince us and themselves that he deserved the victory.

    That's why you started your previous post "I say have the rematch in F$%#$^ Russia with all russian judges!!!!" because you looked at Kovalev losing by UD to Ward as a win for Kov? Interesting...

    Absolute robbery, not suprised at all though, USA is second only to germany for this type of stuff

    Ward got every fight at home in the super six, is protected by every judge that sits ringside for him, no wonder he has an 0, if i was kovalev i would be absolutely sick having your belts taken like that

    While I thought Kovalev should have gotten the nod, based on the KD, this was a close fight that could have gone either way. Not a robbery, except in the sense of the old adage you need to TAKE the title from the champ, which clearly didn't happen here.

    That's interesting huh? The fact that I would want Kovalev to fight the rematch with the same advantages Ward had so it could pretty much ensure the W in the books? Having the peoples decision win is nice... but having it in the books is nice too. So it would be both for Sergey. But I honestly think he's cracking Ward the f**k out in the rematch to be honest.

    So after the 2nd round you were ready to give the fight to Kovalev? Knowing there were 10 rounds left?

    I swear half this forum doesn't know how to score a boxing match.

    All seriousness, have you ever been to the United States, and have you been paying attention to geopolitics in the last month?

    Not all people from the United States get along with each other, let alone three older white dudes, with a young black guy. It's also one of the worst times to be a black guy in America post 1960 (I say this as a white dude). So if you think the judges just scored it for Ward because he is American, why even bother having the fight at all? Fight was close, could have gone either way, anyone saying something to the contrary doesn't know much about boxing, or are heavily biased.

    This is a poll from Badlefthook.

    POLL
    Who did you have winning Kovalev-Ward?
    • 69%
      Sergey Kovalev
      (1568 votes)

    • 24%
      Andre Ward
      (532 votes)

    • 7%
      Draw
      (162 votes)
    2262 votes total

    Of course that all the 532 voters (probably americans and ward's fans) are wiser than the rest of 1730 voters. They are the only guys knowing something about boxing in the Universe...

    LMAO! Your post is absolutely laughable. So there is NO WAY the American judges could have been A TAD BIT biased towards Ward??! They are automatically f**king racist and had no choice but to hand the decision to Ward because of the MASTERCLASS he put on?!! Getting decked to his knees in the 2nd, hurt multiple times, pressured and outboxed in MANY instances of the fight... yeah those old racist white men had no choice huh??! Lol "Since 1960" :D Holly sh*t!! Wow.... WOW!!

    Dude people like you aren't even worth arguing with. Think what you want ;) Be sure to tune in to the rematch! And enjoy Ward getting his lights shut out along with Trumps next 8 years in office :) Tough road ahead for ya.

    That correlates with the poll here and the writers polled. It's like Trump losing by 2 million votes and somehow still wins. Makes you really scratch your head, this **** is broken.

    I agree with you Kovalev no doubt won. But as far as being confused at Trump winning... you realize that it's said over 4 million illegals and Dead democrats voted for Hillary right? Lol Not to mention the obvious and recorded cases of voting machine fraud.

    what fight were a lot of people on here watching, ward won pretty much every round from 4 onwards, some of them was close though but he did a lot of inside work
