It almost makes more sense that there was corruption rather than not

    What's the big deal with kovalev not winning any of the last 6?

    They were close but all followed a clear pattern where Ward fought how he wanted and not the other way round.

    I think most people watching on HBO got caught up in the bubble.


    It also explains why most uk viewers on sky went with ward as they got caught in that bubble.

    Also since when does being in the majority mean you are right? Hitler was in a majority. Trump won a majority, ...only majority that matters are those who are judging the fight.... And they saw it the way I saw it....

    Some people here trying to convince ward lost because he had more bruises and more media scored for kovalev. That's crazy way of proving you're right

    Kova not winning a round in the second half is still possible as it's the judges call.

    TBE getting caught doing illegal IV at home and getting the green light is what I call corruption. I mean there's no way around that, I don't know how that incident was discarded to this day.

    75% for Kovalev, the judges were part of that 25%, cry baby.

    You just acknowledged people actually scored for Ward, negating your weak ass argument.

    Of course there was corruption. It's inevitable.
    There's almost always home advantage in the scoring, especially in a big fight.
    Anyone who's been watching boxing more than a few months knows this.
    I'm not sure why experienced fans here are even denying it.

    We might only care if it was 75% of boxers who believed he lost. **** the media. They've never felt a world class punch ever.

    They are more likely to have thrown one than Paul Malignaggi though !

    It was a clear example of corruption. That kind of corruption that ruins boxing nowadays. This fight should be addressed at any workshop for boxing officials as an example of wrongdoing. This is how you should not officiate a fight. From selecting the officials to how the referee failed to warn numerous major infringements from the local hero.

    Oh look, another Andre Ward fan who is a racist. Big surprise. Have fun bud, boxing corruption will be cleaned up some day and Andre Ward will be out of a job. What pathetic excuse of a man will you find to worship next? Times are changing BUD.

    True, but Kovalev knew the deal going in.
    We all knew the deal.
    Everyone who knows boxing knows.

    Passed him over for what? Dude's not American.

    Pac was more popular than Andre, Kovalev, and GGG combined, and he still got burned by that same beast- the hunt for the next great U.S. star. They were willing to rob Pac at the expense of a much less popular Bradley. You think that happens if Tim was Canadian?
