Would Ward have accepted the Kovalev fight with 3 Russians as judges?

    Like Kovalev took the Ward fight, despite 3 people who stood for lies, injustice and the American Way cheering on Ward from ringside in their Uncle Sam y-fronts

    It's unfair to say this, don't you think?
    Kovalev is American himself in a way. Yes he was born in Russia, but he lives off of American money in the U.S.

    He chose to build his career there and so American judges come with the territory. It's was expected to not be easy or even fair, that's the reality of it.

    Not at all unfair. Do you not think Americans would want the American to win, regardless of how long the Russian has lived in the country? Why not do what other countries do and have 3 judges not from eithers country or 1 of each and a neutral?

    It's not an "American" behaviour to cheer and want your country's fighter to win, it's human nature. Every country is like this.

    There's a reason Kovalev fights and lives in the U.S.; it's not fair to blame Ward for the judge's scorecards.

    If Fraud dares take the rematch, KOvalev WILL KHTFO inside 3 rds.

    Kovalev made a FOOLS decision to allow Ward to survive the early hurting, and didnt even press the gas when he had Ward grabbing at his ear.

    Either way, this wasnt BHop who ran rather than grab, and the judges scored Wards fouling as if it were legal.

    Kovalev controlled the pace the entire fight, and hurt Ward 4X.

    But b/c he felt he didnt want to let the fans down and score an early KO, he let Ward survive to the robbery.

    Are we hypothetically changing just the judges or everything? For example: does the fight still take place in Vegas or in Russia? Is Russia the "mecca of boxing" or is it Vegas? Is Kovalev the feather fisted guy that never leaves home turf in this scenario?

    Would you be OK with Ward fighting with 3 Russian judges like you had a problem with Kovalev fighting with 3 American judges?

    Just trying to understand.

    Both of them were American citizens fighting in America. You only need international judges when one fighter is traveling from another country. Kovalev lives in Florida or some such place and fights in Vegas all the time. When two men who both live in the same country fight they get local judges.

    Doubt it.

    Pretty sure both Ward and Kovalev made career high earnings that night.
