    How come no one had a problem with him fighting in America with American judges until he lost?

    Kovalev sure as hell didn't care when he kept making money.

    I ALWAYS have a problem with this. People don't mention it because it is par for the course and expected. But world level boxing should ALWAYS have neutral judges and neutral referees if it is to stop being the hotbed of corruption it is.

    Because in boxing America is where the money is.

    You want access to the system you come to America. Only problem is American judges control the system and suck off American fighters.

    And I'm a die hard American. But even I realize our judges love blowing our own guys.

    Well it doesn't make sense financially to have fights in neutral locations, so I'm OK with that, but there is no excuse for not having neutral officials.

    I've seen robberies both ways but typically it's to the money fighter, the up and coming fighter.

    I agree with this, all 3 judges shouldn't have been American.

    Ground doesn't have to be neutral but judges should be, absolutely.

    oh **** off alexthegreatfallacy. you knew what was going to happen here. okay kovalev got his money, but he was robbed by the yanks in an unfair decision. but dont worry it happens elsewhere like germoney, only when the p4p trinklet is on the line where the best recognized fighter on the planet, it must be an american.

    If this fight were happening in Germany and Ward lost on the cards with everything else playing out the same way with all German ref and judges, you're damn straight we'd be complaining about it.

    Just look at how Sven Ottke's viewed here and how we view losses to him on other fighters' records.

    Let's put it this way, if they fought in Russia, and there were THREE Russian judges ...

    And Andre Ward outjabbed Kovalev, and Andre Ward landed more power punches, and Andre Ward flattened Kovalev, and Andre Ward left the ring unmarked, and Kovalev left with his face battered and bruised ...

    And the three Russian judges scored a unanimous decision in favor of Kovalev ...

    As I said in another thread, people here would be having a stroke right now.

    It was a bad decision. Kovalev won every aspect of the fight ... and judges turned in bad cards.

    Simple as that.

    Bad decision.

    They're so lucky half of white americans are cuckholds that hate themselves. I'm blessed my italian citizenship has been recognized, leaving this shithole country ASAP.
