    I cant understand how anyone scored for Ward???

    The first round Kovalev looked a clear winner
    second round Kovalev scored the knockdown
    I felt Kovalev was driving Ward around the ring, for most of the fight.
    There were some close rounds but not one round that I felt Ward was a big clear winner in.
    The first round I gave to Ward was round 7 which was close
    Only one fighter looked like they had been in a battle
    Watch each round as an individual fight and not look to give rounds because someone did marginally better than the previous round
    I notice the fans that scored for Ward seem to all write they scored it 114/113 as if to tie in with the judges yet the judges didnt score all rounds the same, so would be interested to see scorecards to get this result.
    I have never had a problem with even rounds as some rounds are even, but I notice that many have scored even rounds for this fight
    Post your scorecards

    Watching live I only scored 3 rounds to Ward but having watched again and trying to be very subjective I have given Ward another round and scored some even

    Round 1 Kovalev 10/9
    Round 2 Kovalev 10/8
    Round 3 Kovalev 10/9
    Round 4 Kovalev 10/9 but thought it was a close round
    Round 5 Kovalev 10/9
    Round 6 Kovalev 10/9
    Round 7 Ward 10/9
    Round 8 Ward 10/9
    Round 9 Kovalev 10/9 tell me for those who dont think Kovalev won a round in the second half how you scored that for Ward
    Round 10 Even. If I had to shade it one way it would probably be Kovalev, but for arguments sake wouldnt complain if someone gave it to Ward
    Round 11 Ward 10/9
    Round 12 Even.

    Now I scored it 117/113 for Kovalev

    If you gave the even rounds I scored to Ward it would be 115/113 for Kovalev and if I gave the round I thought to be close to Ward I could only find it to be 114/114

    I think a noticeable thing was that often Ward was the stronger fighter who would tie his opponent up and push them back with punches on the inside which he was not really able to do to Kovalev.

    I had it 114-114. Which would mean Kovalev keeps his titles.

    Gave Kovalev rounds 1, 2 (10-8),4, 6 and 10.

    Gave Ward 3, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 11. Had the last round even.

    Round 6 was also pretty much even iirc but I gave it to Kov. Last round could have maybe gone to Kov

    Imo the only really clear rounds were 2, 4, 7 and 8. The rest were very close

    The fight was too close to be a robbery either way imo.

    I thought rounds 3 and 4 were a lot closer than some people make it out to be. I don't think Kovalev clearly won the first 6 by any stretch of the imagination.

    It's conceivable that Ward won rounds 3-5. I personally thought Kovalev only won round 6 and 10 in the last 7 rounds of the fight.

    Did you score round 3 because Ward did better than the first two rounds? Cant see how anyone gave that to Ward? Still everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I appreciate you posting yours here

    Kovalev still the GOAT IMO. outboxed a supposed superior boxer. all what was said before didnt materialise. KRUSHER Beat ward at boxing, and knocked him on his butt. 115-113 sounds right.

    I gave Ward the 3rd. I thought he set the tone when he charged at Kovalev. He managed to smother Kovalev's work a little better by crowding him, and he began landing some nice jabs.

    Dont need to. Did that and scored for Kovalev again and it does appear that overall I am in the majority

    I really struggle to see the 3rd round for Ward or the 9th round for him. Sure Ward was doing better than round 2 but I couldnt see a case for him winning those rounds.
    Still I do think ward came back well in a fight I thought was set for Kovalev as the bell went. I was shocked about 114/113 and then the decision went to the other fighter
