    I had Ward edging it but at the end of the day I did give the close rounds to Ward. Thanks rummy for being a good sport, sick of these sore losers that call every close fight a robbery, I know you picked Kovalev too.

    With all due respect Rubby, dream on.

    It's laughable.

    Disagree. Ward gets full credit for his performance. But I can't consider him P4P king until he decisively beats Kovalev. Maybe a bit of sour grapes on my part(I'm trying my best to be civil right now :cursing2:) Either way. Definitely needs a part II!

    Due to the nature of the fight, ironically the P4P king was not truly decided.

    Surprised you're not bitching about the scores, the usual suspects are. Respect for being a good sport. Definitely needs a rematch, one of the best fights I've seen.

    There was no robbery, it was very close.
    But think it should have been a draw

    Kovalev landed more punches. Kovalev landed the harder punches. Ward was both rocked and dropped.

    Kovalev didn't have scratch on him. Ward looked like someone who got his ass kicked.

    I give Ward a lot of credit for coming back from the KD, but he lost the fight. And Ward didn't dominate the 2nd half. I had 9-12 split 2 rounds each.

    The stars were aligned for Ward tonight. He got every benefit of the doubt and he got every close round that you can possibly give him. Despite the win, he's still not a better fighter than Kovalev.

    Kovalev showed that he's every bit as good a boxer as Ward and still managed a knockdown.

    Dan Rafael had it 7-5 Kovalev
    And Harold Lederman 8-4 Kovalev.
    Plus knockdown.

    I don't always agree with them but I have hard time giving 7 rounds to Ward. I felt Kovalev edged it.
    Great fight and Ward proved his Greatness surviving and making it competitive but I think wrong person had their hand raised.

    Congratulations Rummy your boy just made an enemy of an entire arena of Americans and everyone in the country that paid for it.

    You know with every fiber of your being Kovalev deserve to win that, pure 100% sickening home cooking.
