I'm sorry Rummy, but in this case I can't agree with that. He would be if he won without controversy, and he obviously didn't. Great fight though How did you score it?
This is why boxing pisses me off. The 10 - 9 BS scoring needs to change. If ever there was a reason to have a DRAW in boxing, it was this fight. There was no definitive winner and I don't think anyone would have grumbled with the result if i was a draw.
No way. Definitely no shot, not based on that performance. That was a straight robbery. Horrible night for the sport.
I thought Kov won by 1 point but every round was so close it cannot be called a robbery. I am disappointed not one judge gave it to Kov. That stinks.
This is exactly why the UFC is taking over combat sports. May-Pac was the dagger, and this was the final blow to the sport. Ridiculous.
Ward recovered from a knockdown and fought his fight. Kovalev is still a good fighter, but Andre Ward is greater. I promise he is probably going to retire now. Great fight, but boxer beats puncher and Willie has doubled his money.
