I agreed with Harold Lederman's score, 116 - 111 for Kovalev, the fight wasn't that close. You don't get points for holding...................Kovalev should have gone ahead and knocked Ward out when he had him hurt, or he should have just gone for the knockout the entire night...................Kovalev hurt Ward, Ward could not do anything. Ward was sucking wind all night................
As mentioned earlier by that point I had 2 a piece but kovalev up by 1 point because of the knockdown
Need to watch again for sure. Not because I'm irate though, certainly don't consider this a robbery. Judges cards incase anyone's interested: http://d2s3dt9f4iyeup.cloudfront.net/images/resized_v1/bcb91fce-d521-44f2-b281-86e21063ce64.jpg
I scored round 10 to Kovalev and ended up with 114-113 Ward. 1, 2 + KD, 4, 6 and 10 - that's the rounds I gave to Kovalev. Round 12 was really close and I think it was round 8 that I felt was hard to score but shaded to Ward too. Variation in my scorecard could be between 114-113 Ward and 115-112 Kovalev. But there were even close rounds outwith those too.
Only if you're blind and think Ward had a shout of winning it. Just like the fight, he was in it, but didn't win it.
Your point was Kellerman who could smell the robbery coming, had to think of the corporation and selling a rematch.
The same Kellerman who said just before the fight that the undercard was terrible became some sort of company stooge over the course of the fight?
Max has always been a company stooge, why do you think he's in there, his excellent boxing analysis? You can see the ****er think when he talks, he's constantly aiming for the most politically correct lines. His whole tack throughout the fight was "we see it this way, but the judges might see it differently" because he knew, hell we all knew.
Compubox (see the thread) says Kovalev outlanded Ward 21-16 in Round 10. Can't see any way Ward won that round, unless the judges were affected by the crowd.
