    Round 4 was close as were a lot of rounds. This fight was wonderful and it was great for boxing. People have forgotten that this type of conclusion is very likely when the best actually take on each other.

    Totally agree, even though still not on the outcome lol.
    A good fighter can always make a case for himself with little things they do to win that particular round.

    I wouldn't call it a robbery as much just the wrong call. I certainly wouldn't attribute it to some kind of American conspiracy like some people have. I think Kovalev won but I can't fault anyone for seeing it the other way. Comes down to scoring philosophy. Looking forward to a rematch.

    Kellerman scores cards are not very good. Harolds are.

    Yes, Ward did better in the 2 half of the fight, but NO WAY did he win the tenth round. All three judges " gave it " to Ward. Correctly score this for Kovalev and the fight is a draw or a loss depending on how you score the final round.
