    It was close, but there's no way Ward won with that KD.

    He got killed?? Seriously? hahahah. Killed as in beat up? Killed as in dominated? Explain "killed"? I'm sure you scored Whitaker vs Chavez 10-2 in favor of JCC. Tell us why you REALLY mad though?

    I think people need to understand the definition of a robbery. The issue with this fight in specific was that there were some very close rounds that could've been scored to either fighter. Anyway, Sergey gassed out in the latter half of the fight and his punch output and power also diminished as well.

    I thought Ward won this fight but I could see it as a draw.

    For a true example of a robbery, I'd recommend for people to watch Joel Casamayor against Jose Armando Santa Cruz. Now THAT'S a robbery.

    A knockdown is 2 points. It's a 12 round fight. So let's set the standard here. Every time a fighter is knocked down in a fight, they always lose on the scorecards. Ok gotcha.

    Worse decision I have ever seen. Maybe the Jimmy Young versus Ali could have been worse...I am not sure. Done with it.....boxing is worse now than tthe WWE.

    114-113 in a very close fight. Get over yourself for goodness sake. Robbery has to be the most overused term in boxing.

    Kovalev clearly won 2 or 3 rounds in that fight. Ward clearly won about 2 or 3 rounds too. The rest was all scored based on the odd jab and who displayed the most ring generalship from round to round.

    You could easily get a score in that fight wider for Ward by a point and you could easily get the score to Kovalev by a few points. That's the nature of boxing scores - it happens on a round-by-round basis.

    This was a 100% robbery.

    When I score fights, I always have a second score with close rounds.

    The best Ward could have done in this fight was winning 5 rounds. And he was knocked down.

    He lost. Very clearly.

    examples of true robberies are Whitaker vs Chavez, Larry Holmes vs Maurice Harris(Holmes didn't win a round and they gave him a decision), and De la hoya vs Sturm.

    It so hard to score against Ward,the computer stats don't mean **** as you're looking for the cleaner work,judging never went off how one guy's face looked either,it was close and personally in a close fight I feel the champion should edge it but hey props to Ward for hanging after 2nd round

    Baradley-pac 1 was the worst I've ever witnessed. Pac won that fight by a bigger margin than any of the other fights with Timmy.

    I saw the Chavez-Whitaker fight when it took place. I was a Chavez fan. He lost the fight, clearly.

    This was a joke. Embarrassing night for a sadly dying sport.

    This stuff kills the sport I love. And there's no room for that, with things as bad as they are now.
