    Challengers used to have to resoundingly beat the champ in order to get his titles. I guess that goes out the window when a corrupt boxing establishment wants their hand picked child of privilege to win.

    What is so hard for you to believe, if you can do illegal IV in your living room and the commissioner still say you're doing nothing wrong than anything is possible.

    I watched the fight with a boxing buddy and a few friends that don't really understand boxing and everyone thought the champ would get the win. The verdict stunk of corruption.

    It's Vegas and Ward was the judges favorite................Harold Lederman was correct in his scoring, 116 - 111 Kovalev..............the rematch will be enforced, but Ward will have to be sued to get him into the ring.............

    Who all had it 114-113... Oh the injustice!!!!
    Harolds scorecard was way off in that fight. But thats him and his usual antics.
    Jim Lampley: "Harolds card is unofficial and judges often disagree with him"
    Not that i am some judging wizard but i had it 114-113 Ward, just like the judges.

    It's funny. Everyone used to argue Ward would never leave the Bay area to fight. Now he and some other fighter co-own Vegas. Laughable.

    When I re watched the fight I had 116-111 or 115-112 or 117-110... can't see it any other way.

    Yep,no real subtance whatsoever as to how Ward got the close rounds because then they would have to defend why a CHALLENGER who backed up mostly ,was hit more ,wobbled a few times and knocked down got the win.

    I talked to my dad about this. If they considered that, than the fight seriously should have been 115 - 112 for Kovalev. Ward fought like a coward. When he came forward it was to throw a few body shots then wrestle.

    What's funny, is that when you use the "You have to beat the champion" saying with fighters that are described as "Demo" then that saying goes out the window and isn't relvant. But now these same people want to apply that to Kovalev because he lost a close fight. You can't have it both ways.

    Ask Golovkin. "Your belt. Give to me!" Canelo is lucky he let him keep his shoes.
