You should watch another sport. "The worst decision i've seen" "A robbery" "Ward got a gift" "Ward schooled Kovalev" "Kovalev wasn't dirty" "Kovalev didn't have inside fighting skills" The fight was close af, if you consider that fight a beating on either side or a robbery, you are just a biased fanboy or a hater, every single decent analyst in boxing knows that the fight could have gone either way, i had it 114-113 for Ward and before someone calls me a fanboy, i have said plenty of times that i consider Ward a boring fighter but i respect his skillset, it was close and it isn't like if the fight was scored 120-108, it was 114-113 for all the judges, the fights are scored round by round and sometimes the fighter that you considered the winner overall, could have lost on your card round by round. Stop with the crying, that's what happens when you put two top fighters in their primes, the fight would be close unless a fighter is a lot better than the other and that didn't happen.
No robbery there, it could have gone either way. It was a really close fight, with a lot of razor thin rounds. The fact the fight was in the US, with three US judges, a US referee, all probably handpicked, probably helped the score to go one way more than the other. Still it was a close fight and the rounds which were given to ward, could have gone to him indeed. I am totally in with you with the fact that it was a really entertaining fight, because it was close, and because we were witnessing two of the best boxers around.
This was a close fight. I gave Kovalev 1,2 (10-8) 4,10. Everything else I gave to Ward. Ward imposed his will on the fight. Fought a great fight on the inside. Body shots took their toll on Kovalev. Kovalev landed 1 maybe 2 meaningful shots from the 2nd round on. 114-113.
I enjoyed the fight, it was a lot different than i thought it would be; Ward wasn't clinching as much as i expected, Kovalev was boxing more than i expected and the later rounds were really entertaining. The referee let BOTH fighters get away with dirty moves and the fight was scored 114-113, no evidence of homecooking.
The fight went exactly how I predicted. Kovalev scored a knock down, Ward comes on late, the fight is a chess match.
It was a robbery to most boxing fans and writers, all except the corrupt Vegas criminal judges..............and that includes the undercard, esp. Perez/Hook..............
