Ward had to win the last 6 rounds on two judges score cards and 5 on the other to win 114 -113. You really believe that ? Nevada has a rule that no outside judges can be used in Vegas. Can you tell me why? Nobody believes what you are saying, even the most bias fans know that Ward lost this fight. People that saw the fight live were is shock that the fight went to Ward and the Commentators were laughing at the X factor. What was the X-factor? A Russian fighting an American hero in Vegas. The RUSSIAN WAS CHEATED OUT OF A VICTORY it is as simple as that.
Well considering Ward outlanded Kovalev at a higher connect rate. Took the Jab that was so successful in 1 & 2, had Kov backing up at points in rd 3 where he was moving only fwd in 1 and 2, Kellerman RJJ, 1 of the official judges, and apparently a lot of people in here scored 3 for Ward, so if I did score 3 for Ward, I'd be in pretty deep company. I didn't however score it for him. I believe you can make a case either way for 3 too. Tackling wasn't the only reason I said that either. He was definitely pushing back in rd 3, letting Kov know he was there to stay.
You said "bullying the bully" what you just explained was fought a competitive round that could've gone to either fighter. Hardly bullying anybody
When exactly did I complain about this specific fight here? Sure I felt like the majority that Kovalev did enough to win and keep his belts. However I wasn't even talking about this fight. I was purely discussing this common bashing of Lederman's judging lately by people who just don't understand his thought process. And yeah being an actual professional Judge who has been doing it for a living most of his life gives him far more credibility when it comes to scoring fights than some armchair fanboy on the internet. And nobody said anything about beyond reproach. You just keep making up straw men to argue with. Not wasting anymore time on you.
If you werent talking about this fight then stfu because this was the point i made. I dont care about what other people say about him go take it up with them. HIs scorecard in this fight was terrible and by in large he is terrible. Get over it.
Not believing this vid! Probably a Kovalev lover! It would have more credibility if it was the entire fight not just sections of which can be manipulated to favor your boy Kovalev. Not buying it!!!
So what are you and the rest of the Kovalev lovers going to do to rectify this miscarriage of justice? You have a few options, keep crying(best option), boycott boxing, pull all your moneys together to pay someone at the top to get the decision changed, keep hating on Ward(another good option. Hate shortens peoples lives) or just let it go!
I did after I posted! Interesting, too bad this can't be used during a real fight. Supports my claim that I thought Kovalev won in the first place! I was going by the compubox numbers which have totally different numbers but, still have Kovalev landing more.
