    Right smack center in Oakland. So Ward can take a 100 count infront of his hometown fans.

    True that Las Vegas Commission is a joke

    I would say Vegas, Oakland, and Atlantic City are probably the 3 most likely venues.

    It should be held in Siberia, Ward trains like rocky and Kovalev trains in a secret Soviet lab. And in the end A victorious Ward yells " if , if I can change, then you can change, we all can change!"

    Audience applauds, Ward becomes national hero :applaudit::ARMS1::clap::clap2::clapclap::godsdrink0nw::ole:

    Should be in Russia with neutral judges, however, I would be happen with a neutral boxing commission, referee and judges, don't think we can get that in Vegas. Ward wants it in his home town with his judges, ref, boxing commission, etc., Ward lost to Kovalev in the first fight and he will get knocked out cold in the second fight. Ward will chicken out, he will retire because he knows he lost that fight. Kovalev is still the champion, no matter what the criminal judges claimed, the people's champ won the fight and the vast majority of fans, boxing writers know it!!!

    R1.) 10-10
    R2.) 10-8 Kov
    R3.) 10-9 Kov
    R4.) 10-9 Kov
    R5.) 10-9 Dre

    R7.) 10-9 Dre
    R8.) 10-9 Dre
    R9.) 10-10
    R10.) 10-9 Kov
    R11.) 10-9 Dre

    UK, Germany, and USA are the only three countries that can even be considered in terms of the revenue they could generate.

    This ^ It's kinder to Ward, too. After he wakes up he will feel more comfortable in familiar surroundings, and his four fans will be able to assist him to his home.

    I reckon Ward can even have his mom, dad and cousin as judges.

    The only thing Kovalev really needs is a ref that won't stand for Ward's huggery. Give them a decent ref and Sergey knocks him the F out. In a clean fight Ward has nothing for Kovalev.

    R12.) 10-9 Kov

    My score ^.

    Ward's best rounds = 5,7,8.

    Round 11 I felt was a tossup, and maybe 9 as well.

    A biased eye could have had it for Kovalev in a landslide.

    I bet you if the fight had went the exact opposite way as it did, with everything being reversed, the judges would have had it for Ward by a landslide.

    And neutral territory should be the best for this fight, or at least international judges.
