Round 1.... 10-9 Kovalev Round 2.... 10-8 Kovalev Round 3.... 9-10 Ward Round 4.... 10-9 Kovalev Round 5.... 9-10 Ward Round 6.... 10-9 Kovalev Round 7.... 9-10 Ward Round 8.... 10-9 Kovalev Round 9.... 10-9 Kovalev Round 10.. 10-9 Kovalev Round 11.. 9-10 Ward Round 12.. 9-10 Ward I think I'm being kind with both of those last rounds too as they could have very easily been scored for Kovalev too.
Well the thing is whatever way I've tried to slice it the result is the same. I don't have a vested interest in this either as I'm neither American or Eastern European. I didn't care who won I just wanted the right result which I don't think we got. Would I have wanted to see a rematch if Kovalev had had his hand raised? Definitely as Ward did well enough to suggest he could adjust in a rematch to think he could win. I would of still made him favourite to come out on top in a trilogy, he just didn't do enough in the opening bout.
