Kovalev / Ward round 3 only

Give it to Ward. Kovalev fought stupid fight and forgot to go after vulnerable Ward

 

it seems round 3 and round 9 most people crying robbery gave both to Kovalev.

 

Only way Kovalev won round three is if his punches have a 5 punch multiplier on them.

I'm not going to bother watching these, but some here may find it interesting. You'd have to skip to round 3 for the first link.

 

You're clueless if you think that.

here is a partial list of people that said Kovalev won:

Larry Merchant
Harold Lederman
Roy Jones
Oscar De La Hoya
Vasyl Lochenko
Robert Byrd (referree for the fight)
Max Kellerman
Dan Rafael
Michael Buffer

And so on- when someone can compile a list that is more credible than that I will begin to take it seriously. Most of those listed were in attendance and have no affiliation one way or the other. They are not promoters looking to get the winner in the ring etc.

One guy was in control and never hurt, never hit with a combination for 12 rounds the other guy was in survival mode employing wrestling tactics and punching in clinches to score pts mixing in with an occasional outside jab that would be countered with a follow up jab from his opponent.

Clear win for Kovalev

 

This one isn't true as far as I know. It was a fake twitter account. Not that it really matters.

 

Thanks for the correction. I just looked into it and you're correct. The real Robert Byrd declined to say who he felt won.

 

Max Kellerman said he scored it 114-113 Ward. but could see the same score the other way

 

this thread is only about round 3 though which Ward won. I could see an argument that Kova won the fight though just not round 3

 

He said a week later on the fight game. He said that is how he felt watching it live. Before that- the following week when the replay aired on HBO with the Lomochenko Walters bout Kellerman said when he went home and scored the fight round by round he gave it to Kovalev by a round

 

And the Crying Saga continues

 

Round 10 was the most obvious one of all.

Cry me a river
