    Not a robbery merely a gift.

    The first half Kovalev was the dominant fighter, the 2nd half was evenly fought. I didn't score it live but it was obvious who won.

    After seeing at least 10x, there's no way to objectively score that fight and truthfully have ward withing a couple points.

    Kovalev was completely dominated in more rounds than rounds that could go either way. At no point, not a single consecutive minute of the 36 mins was ward in control. He had 10/1 second spurts here and there but nothing more.

    That fight showed massive limitations on both fighters. That put the final proof (IMHO) that both are a level or more below the elites

    Does it really mean that much to you that you dug this up for an "lol" you didn't even understand?

    Close but clear win for Kovalev. Ward wins only by a round if you give him all of the close-even rounds, give most of those rounds to Kovalev and it's a decisive almost dominant win for Kovalev. While possible I find giving all of those rounds to Ward a bit unlikely.

    Nah :D Don't even try it. You said in the Loma thread that "70% makes it fact." so own up to it! Lol! Don't try and weasel your way out!

    75% of this forum (And the population for that matter) think Sergey deserved the nod. So... FACT then right?!

    Ward had an obvious edge in the second half.

    Boxing matches are scored in terms of rounds, so score the fight and we can debate rounds. General observations about the fight are meaningless. A knockdown can color the rest of the fight, one dominant round can color several more.

    "Robbery" is not a term that should be used for a fight that the majority scored a one point margin either way.

    It was a disgusting robbery that reeked of collusion. Geopolitical in nature mixed with status quo toadying.
