Watch his surprised reaction when he finds out the American judges have delivered on their on word to Roc Nation. It is one of shock and elation, even kellerman picked up on it. How he can go home and look his family in the eye knowing he has won in such a corrupt fashion, I wonder. On a last note, his post interview body language shows a slightly embarrassed heavily bruised and battered man who knows he got through the fight through the skin of his teeth. As he gives credit to Sergey we can visibly see he clearly doesn't believe in his heart that he won the fight. There was no conviction, just share relief that he had managed to steal the belts
His face was like wtf? His face looked like he was beaten up no doubt. This was a disgrace. A black eye for the sport of boxing.
The "Look at their face" argument doesn't hold up well. Neither in damage nor in the facial features at the reaction of the decision. That being said, I felt that Kov won.
Yeah it is an awful argument. We've even seen fights where a guy clearly loses and feels that he won. We've seen fighters outbox their opponent but look worse for wear at the end of the fight. You cannot go by anything that is happening outside of those rounds. Every thing else is irrelevant, otherwise it would be part of the scoring criteria. There is no mention of "Confidence after the fight" in the rulebook of boxing lmao.
Poll the people. Almost all of the boxing pundits that I have seen thought Kovalev won. And it at least 2/3 of boxing fans. Kovalev won the event hands down.
Kovalev won. But what do you expect from Ward's nutthugers? They are all experts and if somebody did not agree with them should be considered blind or stupid. They are all sons of God, how could anyone argue with that and with what they say. They speak the truth, only the truth and nothing but the truth. Amen!
Every single person in the arena minus those paid off, without exception could reasonably see that Kovalev done enough to retain his belts.
Same can be said about the usual suspects, that hate ward, mayweather, crawford, rigo etc, but nutride GGG/Kovalev etc.
Almost all? If it was hands down then there wouldn't be this discussion. It was close whether you like it or not.
