Can't give Ward 7 rounds. Kovalev Outlanded him and hurt Ward on several occasions including knocking him down in Round 2. Again most non-biased people have already concluded that Kovalev was the victim of a bad decision. It's evident in the 4-1 press row opinion that he won and by most experts that were ringside including Roy Jones, Larry Merchant, Harold Lederman and Dan Rafael. Robert Byrd the referee also gave his opinion and said Kovalev deserved the win. You have die hard fan boys for whatever reason that will never admit it to it, but in the case of public opinion this fight has already been judged a robbery by the masses. It goes down with Whitaker vs Chavez and Lewis vs Holyfield 1 as two other fights that were the biggest fight for the sport during the year where the judges were wearing blind folds.
I had the fight a draw, so either winning by a point or 2 is fairer than Kovalev winning by 5 rounds. I can't see how anyone could see the fight being so one sided and I was rooting for Kovalev.
I like you drenlou.. But we are not discussing whether it is a robbery or not. It's been done on last week poll and it's like 70-30. This is to determine how big a robbery this is ...ha3x
I have the first 6 rounds 5-1 giving ward just round 4, and have them split 3-3 in the last 6. Making in 8-4 plus one kd point.
