Robbery, disgusting

It is what it is .

Was this fight a robbery ??

Yup it was pretty much a robbery .

I had it personally 7-5 for the Krusher. But I can see how how someone could give Ward 6 rnds the most .

But that's still not enough to win especially due to that KD .

It was a close but very clear win for Kovalev .

 

Anyone calling this fight a robbery can't score a fight. It was close but Ward won 7 rounds on my card (watched the fight twice paying careful attention to the quality of the punches landed the second time), which is what you need to win the fight. 114-113 was the perfect score.

 

Not according to official judges. And my post doesn't contradict itself, as some seem to believe that because Kovalev got the knockdown in round 2, it was over. Hence the a knockdown doesn't win a fight unless it ends a fight. Now as far as Kovalev winning more rounds, it was a close fight. there were not more the 3 rounds that each fighter completely controlled, leaving roughly 5, 6 rounds that were close and could have gone either way. The judges liked Wards work better. End of story, it was in no sense of the word a robbery. The only travesty scorecards were Lederman and Rafael. We all knew Rafael couldn't score, but Lederman is slipping. Those are the only 2 that had Kovalev winning the 1st 6 rounds

 

Ward was relentless. He went Kovalev like a pit bull in a meat wagon. It was very refreshing for me to witness the audacity of Andre Ward as he climbed Mt Kovalev. It was one those Rocky moments, only in real life.

 

My God you are clueless.

 

Hahahahahahahahahajaha

 

It was a robbery of the biggest scale.

"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

Anyways, Kovalev is P4P #1.

 

In the close rounds where kov outlanded ward it was only by a few punches at the same time ward was clearly out boxing him. More to scoring a round son.

 

And the only people who had Kov winning are the biased non-americans? I'm not an american and yet I see Ward winning. Your statement / claim is InAccurate

 

Of course it was a ridiculous decision. Kovalev won at least 4 out of the first 6 rounds with a 10-8 in the 2nd. Now honestly people, did you really not give Kovalev enough rounds following to, at the very least, walk away with a draw? Of course we all know that it wasn't even a draw and that Kovalev clearly won the fight. It's disgraceful, and I wasn't rooting for either fighter.

 

Kovalev injured and possibly fractured his hand prior to the 6th, and still won going away. The rematch he will badly batter Ward without a doubt in my mind. I like Ward, I like his career, family, record, upbringing story, but come on.

 

Robbery doe.
