Kovalev - Ward your scores

I had the fight a draw 114-114, so could of gone either way. I don't think you could give it to either man by more than a round or 2. I can see why fans on both sides would be annoyed if their man lost, it was that close a fight. Bring on the rematch!

R1 - SK 10-9
R2 - SK 10-8
R3 - DRAW 10-10 - too close for me to pick a clear winner
R4 - SK 10-9
R5 - AD 10-9
R6 - SK 10-9
R7 - AD 10-9
R8 - AD 10-9
R9 - AD 10-9 - close round but I think Ward landed cleaner which gave him the edge by the smallest margin
R10 - SK 10-9
R11 - AD 10-9
R12 - AD 10-9

 

115-112 Kovalev

Another case of a relatively close fight going the other way as most people saw it.
The way of the home fighter like in so many cases.

 

I had it 115-112

 

I scored it 114-113 Kovalev.
The fight was close and if Ward wasn't knocked down, it would be the perfect example of a draw.
Kovalev was the better in the first half, Ward took most rounds in the second half.
I hope there will be a rematch next year.
