    Then WTF is landing more, throwing more, dropping the opponent and landing cleaner shots called? Apparently the judges saw that as losing.

    He didn't land cleaner shots. Both landed similarly clean shots. Throwing more is not outboxing someone, it is out working them. In the vast majority of the rounds they landed a very equal number of punches. Kovalev also missed a lot more.

    Well said. I personally felt Ward won especially with his body work that people kept on missing

    You do understand how fights are judged do you! If fighter A lands 30 punches in round 1 and fighter B lands 10 punches in rounds 2 and 3 and fighter A lands 0, then fighter B is winning the fight! Total punch counts carry very little weight! In other words, the fight is scored by rounds!

    Stop with the racism jibem im black an I can see that ward lost clearly, it was competetive, but Kov boxed him, dropped him with a jab, wobbled him, bullied him, had him running, His face was marked up. he looked defeated, if the re-match happens, there wont be another robbery.

    That is pretty much what Kovalev did. In his career he's now been in the ring against two bonafide supreme boxers in Ward and Hopkins and outboxed them both and done it decisively.

    I'll ad I went into the Kovalev-Ward fight not having a horse in the race. I was just looking to enjoy a good fight.
    The only thing that ruined it for me was the dishonesty of the decision.

    Remember round ten when Ward kept trying to throw that bolo punch to showboat and Kovalev kept hitting him in the face?

    Its clear that both Kovalev and Golovkin are both better pure boxers than Ward, who's only real talent is using the same tactic that Wladimir and John Ruiz are generally discredited for.
