Andre Ward's clinching, elbows, and head butts is equivalent to traveling in basketball

    All of the above are fouls, but Ward, being the last American Gold Olympic medalist, is the darling of the US Boxing establishment. As a result the refs seem to give him a pass. Rules are rules. But they don't apply fairly to all. Ward cheated his way to victory against the true champion, Sergey Kovalev. He was robbed of a fair fight by the referee and then robbed on the cards.

    If the lakers can constantly travel, gold tend and double dibble against the opposing team and not get called on the foul in a championship game 7, it makes it impossible for the other team to win.

    That's "goal tend" and the refs call the game so that it is entertaining and don't call all of the possible infractions. Who wants to pay for a basketball game that features the refs blowing their whistles every fifteen seconds? You may have an argument that the judges robbed Kovalev but, as I said before, Kovalev knew how Ward would fight and even threatened to break his arms in retaliation. The ref had nothing to do with Kovalev losing and I am somewhat surprised that you are taking Kovalev's loss so hard. Kovalev was supposed to ko Ward so the ref and the judges shouldn't have even come into play.

    Ward was on his way to getting KOd until he completely disregarded the rules of boxing in the 3rd round and started tackling Kovalev. I've taken this fight hard because of the severe injustice that was done to Sergey.

    Rightttttttttttttttttt, as if your biased self would ever admit to anything that's not pro Sergey.

    Ffs, you probably thought Fury lost to Wladimir.

    Fury beat Wlad, but barely. That was the worst heavyweight title fight I've ever seen.

    Bro, it wasn't barely, just saying. It was at least 117-111.

    This is why I can't trust your scoring at all man, and this is why you don't have much objectivity when it comes to judging fighters that you like vs fighters that you don't like.

    Hard to really take anything you say with more a grain of salt when it comes to judging fights. Sorry to say but that's the truth.

    I suppose you can't be trusted to score a Floyd fight in that case. Sorry to say but that's the truth.

    Except that my Floyd scores have never been wrong, at any time. Nice try though, sweetheart.

    How can you be sure? Don't you class him as a fighter you like?

    Equivalent to diving in football (soccer) over here in the UK. People are fed up of it. Many have thrown in the towel and say it's a part of the game now but I still think it's disgraceful.

    My scores are extremely accurate, unlike OP's. That's why.

    118-110 Pacquiao
    117-111 Guerrero
    119-109 Canelo Alvarez
    117-111 Cotto
    116-112 Maidana
    117-111 Maidana 2

    We can go through any fight you wish.

    Have you seen the punch stats on Wlad Fury? Some rounds were in the single digits per fighter. 138 total punches landed in the fight lol

    Yeah I have, it was a **** fight, no doubt about it. But Wlad did significantly less than Fury, which is saying a lot lol.
