    I just rewatched the fight, and it was even more clear for Ward this time for me.
    3, 5, 6(close), 7, 8, 9, 11, 12(close). rds 4, 10 were close too but i gave it to Kovalev.

    I watched it again. CLEAR ward rd, you're a clown. I explained to you why Ward won the rd, instead of being a little *** and telling me to watch it again, tell my why it was a clear Kovalev rd you clown.

    Yeah you're a joke. Clear Ward round. Even most Kovalev fans had Ward winning the 9th lmfao.

    "Ward was bullied" LOL fking clown.

    Just watched it again. Certainly not a clear Kovalev round. It started off with Ward landing two nice jabs to the body, and Kovalev grabed Ward's neck and pushed it down and Byrd warned him. There was some back and forth throughout the round but Ward was landing the better punches. Kovalev did land some combos, but they weren't as crisp as Ward's punches. At one point Ward landed a left hand with Kovalev turned to the side and it actually put Kovalev through the ropes temporarily.

    I could see how one could theoretically give that round to Kovalev, thinking that Kovalev was landing combos while Andre only landing single punches, but Andre was rolling with many of Kovalev's combos, along the ropes, they were mostly glancing punches. The single shots that Andre was landing were clear hard crisp shots. To me, what won this round for Andre was his ring generalship. He started the round in such control with those jabs to the body, with the Kovalev pushing on the neck, at that point Andre had a lead, and there wasn't a single exchange where you could clearly say he really swung the tide. There were Kovalev combos, glancing punches, with Andre Ward creating space and landing the more flashy "no doubt about it" type punches.

    I'm not saying you can't think Kovalev won the round, but there was no way imho that you could say that that was a clear Kovalev round. Truthfully round 9 was closer than I remember watching it live, but Ward's ring generalship and clean effective punching won him the round imho.

    Kovalev won 1,2,3,4,6,9,11 and the fight but I think Ward will win the rematch. By the 2nd half of the fight he figured Kovalev out and his class showed. There won't be any controversy in the rematch(hope Im wrong and Kov wins) because Ward adjusted to fighting a higher level opponent in the 2nd half of the fight.

    As I wrote judges were biased, you can't give all close rounds to contester and give none to a current champion.
    End of the story.

    Compubox is flawed and shouldn't be used to score rounds.

    I had Kov win the 6th.. but I had Ward win the 3rd. I had it 114-113 Ward.

    Who's the champ and who isn't doesn't matter at all, nor should it.

    You are ASKING for the Judges to be biased towards a champ.

    You have ZERO credibility saying something like that.

    Kovalev outboxed Ward and is better in a rematch.

    I'm glad you got to see Kovalev lose and Ward taking all his belts.

    He won the fight but lost the decision, it will go down in the history books as a robbery and there is nothing you can do or say to stop it :)
