Sergey Kovalev vs. Andre Ward RBR

Nah. You guys think you're swimming against the current of sheep-think but you are in fact squarely INSIDE THE box of logical fallacy. Namely, you're falling into the scoring trap of sympathizing with a boxer losing a cluster of rounds and having one in there in which he does RELATIVELY better than in the ones surrounding it.

To my eyes it was close for Kovalev. I can see why people argue for Ward, just disagree... but to call it clear for him, on the basis of what, 2 eye-catching jabs (when the rest went pretty similarly to how 1-4 unfolded in general) - is folly.

 

I'm going to let you think about how silly that question is.







...okay, you good?

Want to rephrase?

If you want to discuss each of those 6 rounds individually, that is one thing. Asking somebody to justify why they gave a bulk number of rounds a certain way, though...

Scoring isn't something you discuss in broad terms. It should be done on a RBR basis. Each round its own isolated little thing.

 

1-4, 6 & 10, incidentally.

Not in the minority on any of those, I believe.

You can refer to my synopses of each in the RBR posts for my evaluative perspective on what I saw to justify point allocation.

By orders of exponent.
