Would the first clash between Ward and Kov have had fairer judging if they had fought in Russia?

The production on the night was really impressive
Left me thinking about how poor british shows are in that area unless maybe AJ is fighting
Even then its average pyro and a crap rapper

 

That was the travesty imo,taking those belts off him and giving them to a guy who had no intention of knocking the champion out.Ward after being dropped did what he always does,stinking the joint out and screwing over the paying public.
That's the reason he never got any love from his own country like Mayweather did,entirely down to his dour style of wrestling and dirty tricks.
Broke my heart when Kovalev said he thought he could put on a boxing show and get credit from the judges.

 

Blizzy?

 

If it was held in Russia Ward would have been disqualified for low blows, and Kovalev would have won every round against Ward in their first fight.

 

No he wouldn't have. Imo Kov would've won 120-106 on every card even though the fight was close.

 

Russia has nothing to do with selecting the judges LOL!!! they are selected by the sanctioning body... none of the judges were Russian for Kov vs. Yarde

 

Kovalev would've won both fights in Russia.

 

Yes but if Saturday's fight was in the UK there's a high likelyhood that Yarde would've won. Home town advantage is an advantage.

 

Kovy got screwed on that 1st match and that's all there is to it

 

How was it not a fair decision? The people that thought Ward won saw it fair and I think a good amount of the people that saw it for Kovalev thought it was fair although they didn't agree because it was a close fight. I personally had Kovalev winning the fight with the knockdown being the difference. I don't see it as the right call but I dont see it as a clear robbery which is thrown around by fans every time their fighter loses a close fight. The point is moot anyway because Ward dismantled him in the rematch anyway. The low blow garbage is just a terrible excuse. Ward beat him.

 

IDK, it's a pointless hypothetical. It does annoy me though when people try to bash places like Germany or Russia for being crooked when USA/UK has just as many if not more robberies.
