2 judges didn't give Kovalev a round after the 6th

Well then why don't you become best friends with Harold Lederman . He seems to have seen it your way.

 

its called cruse control / pilot mode/ home stretch

 

Don't allow the fight to go to a "Judge's decision" if you are a foreigner.

 

Ward doing better than he was early in the fight doesn't mean he was winning rounds, and whenever you give every closely contested round to the same guy, that's the definition of bias.

He didn't win the majority of the championship rounds, let alone pitch a shutout the second half of the fight. These cards are a joke.

 

Cant see how Kovalev didnt get the 9th if no other???

 

Watching live I thought he did

 

Tell me how you scored round 9 to Ward. Wait for this...

 

round 1 - 10-9
round 2 - 10-8
round 3 - 10-9
round 4 - 10-9
round 5 - 9-9
round 6 - 9-9
round 7 - 9-10
round 8 - 9-10
round 9 - 9-10
round 10 - 10-9
round 11 - 9-10
round 12 - 9-9
113-111 for Kovalev
Thats how i score the fight. The even round was very close, but could gone to either one, not in the one direction. And Kovalev was the aggressor and was more active, so how they could give all close round to Ward, obviously a biased judges.
It was close fight, but clearly Kovalev was the aggressor, he score a knockdown and was the more active fighter, threw and land more, hardest shots and 100% without a doubt he was the winner.
You got to be completely mad to give the 10 round to Ward ....

 

Round 10 was clearly Kovalev round fact 0 of the judges scored it for him shows something was not right.

Again I had
1 Kovalev
2 Kovalev
3 Kovalev
4 Kovalev
5 Ward (close)
6. Kovalev
7 Ward
8 Ward
9 Ward
10 Kovalev
11 Ward
12 Kovalev (close)

The 10th round really bothers me because I can see when a fighter is dominating like Kovalev was doing early in the fight - that when the opponent does slightly better sometimes the judges are fooled into giving the opponent the round. Like maybe round 3. I felt Ward clearly lost as he retreated, clinched and was in survival for most of the round but yet, he did better than the first 2 rounds and maybe a judge gives that round to him. Although he shouldn't. Ok.
But after Ward won some hard fought rounds like 7,8,9, Kovalev clearly rebounded and took the 10th. And not one judge awarded him that.
That's just not right reminds me of Holyfield Lewis 1 round 5

 

Round 10 was a laughably close round but I do feel Kovalev was a punch away from winning it. I give it to Ward. I even factor in the 3 or 4 jabs that Kovalev landed on Ward at the start of the round when Kellerman was talking a lot.
I still think it could go the other way, though.

Really, although I had Ward winning I feel like it should've been declared a draw because you've got to take the belt away from the champion and a round like that deciding the whole fight doesn't deserve to be so.

 

Robbery.

 

Not going to argue who won the fight, since i only saw the first 5 rounds, but you can not use compubox to say who won a round!

 

Ward was in retreat and he was out landed by the much harder puncher. He fought a spoiler type of fight and was rewarded for it by being given every benefit of the doubt by the judges.
I don't want to knock Ward to hard because that is his style and he showed tremendous heart and grit surviving but it comes across as a cheap win.
He fought cheap. Sergey pressed him a case could be made he won the first 6 rounds although I Gave Ward 1. Then in second half I think Ward clearly took 4 rounds with 10 to Kovalev and 12 debatable.
Sergey was victim of poor decision

 

CompuBox tallies the number of punches thrown and landed and which were power shots. It cannot score defence, effective aggression or ring generalship, the three other factors judges have to take into account. You do realise boxing isn't only judged on punch output, right?

 

Are you trolling? RD 9 was one of Ward's clearest rounds. RD 9 was FAR more clear for Ward than 10 was for Kovalev.

Ward landed by far the cleaner punches, amazing body work, clean jabs, straights, left hooks, Kovalev lands some right hands and jabs, but Ward lands the far mroe telling blows.
