    A close fight can be when opinions were divided 50/50 + or -. But when 70% of the experts and the boxing fans give victory to one fighter ... This fight is definitely not a close fight.

    If Kovalev gave the victory, about the close fight no one would have said.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA

    Champion in the ring, on this day, was one. And everyone knows his name.

    In the US, you need to disable the judges during the fight, taking amphetamines. Then their decisions will be adequate.

    Yep, when Kellerman a huge fan of urban boxers says this, he's being honest. The robbery happened in ROUND 10.

    Once Kellerman said Kovalev won you know it should not of even been close lol.
    Michael Buffer just came out and said he felt Kovalev won and was surprised by the scores he read when he announced the "Winner"

    The only reason why I would call this fight a Robbery is because all 3 judges were American, if they were neutral and produced the same scores I'd be ok with it. I don't get why Americans think it's ok to have a US Olympic medalist being judged by 3 Americans when he's facing a Russian fighter?

    If a similar thing happened in Russia, UK or Germany you would all be screaming cheat.

    This is a valid point. If it was a Russian gold medalist and all three judges were Russian with a Russian referee and the fight took place in Russia and the Russian was the challenger and won after that type of fight forget it. Everyone would be screaming robbery.
    Anyway the blame for that is on Duva she got Sergey a bad deal. Still doesn't excuse the scores.
