    I will put my hands up.

    At first I thought Ward won and furiously argued that. However I've changed my mind, although I haven't watched the fight back.

    I changed my man because my lord and savior, my hero, and the man who instructs me what to think has come out and said Kovalev won the fight. The man is Floyd Mayweather Jr.

    If Mayweather says he's the best ever, he is.
    If Mayweather says Pacquiao is on PEDs, he is.
    If Mayweather says he was dehydrated and that's why he had an IV, he was.
    If Mayweather says Broner is the next big thing, he is.
    If Mayweather says GGG needs to move up in weight, he does.

    And most importantly, if Mayweather says Krusher beat Son Of a *****, he did.

    Void is correct about Kovalev beating SOB Ward......................Void is usually prejudiced, so that really means he believes it, but almost everyone had Kovalev winning except the criminal judges.......................Harold Lederman had it 116 - 111, I have Kovalev winning almost every round, SOB did not fight.......................the vast majority of fight fans, fighters, writers had Kovalev winning and Max Kellerman changed his mind after the fight.........

    I'd imagine MVC is on suicide watch right now. Where does he go from here?

    He insists Floyd Joy Sinclair is THE authority on all things boxing but his hero TBE scored the fight the way the majority of other observers did, showing no love for Ward despite their shared nationality. I'll even add in a 'discuss' for posterity.

    Floyd Joy Sinclair Mayweather has spoken. Ward lost to Kovalev and owes that man a rematch to set the record straight.

    Discuss.

    Mayweather turned into an Uncle Tom didn't he? First he said "all lives matter" now he claims that Ward lost.. How sad :sconf:

    He has a right to his opinion just like everyone else. I don't agree with everything he says I'm a fan nothing more.

    I no longer care at this point, It was a close fight end of, I was routing for ward no doubt, Neither fighter showed they where a level above the other, both had their moments but it was overall evenly matched.

    The rematch needs to happen and one of them needs to win convincingly to be considered P4P or an ATG. Both of them met their toughest test, What defines true a champion is how he evolves from such a test, You only get to the next level by evolving from the last level.

    You can't learn from fighting bums how to be elite you have to fight the elite and when two elite come together and its close who is then able to evolve and take their game to another level? I am a ward fan but if he ducks the rematch it ruins his legacy for me.

    An adult post.

    A childish post.

    At least we have a better idea who's an adult here.

    Good post,

    I doubt many will truly absorb the point you just made however enough of us should and accept what you're expressing at least in concept. I refuse to argue with people who are searching for some sort of definitive conclusion when this fight is a perfect example of post-purchase rationalism, where the fighter we wanted and thought was going to win should have received the nod based on the details we processed that night at that fight. We are naturally drawn to details that confirm our existing beliefs......the truth of the matter is the tangible production from each fighter was a pure wash and the punch stat differences inconsequential.

    I had it 7-5 + the KD to Kovalev. On reflection, it could even be 8-4 + the KD to Kovalev. :beer-toast1:
