    3 US judges and a US referee and not a neutral official in sight let alone a Russian one. Disgusting American corruption strikes again. Their elite coward fighters always fight with the deck heavily stacked in their favour and they refuse to fight on a level playing field. Kovalev won that.

    You have half the people crying Robbery and half the people say Ward.. Fact is, it was a draw. I had Ward winning not because I believe he won but because I know so called judges and American boxing fans enjoy his spoiling. Maybe the coward will fight away from home for once.

    I'll say it again, Americans always fight AT HOME. Question mark on all of those "greats".

    Welcome to the Hall of Fame, Andre Ward.
    I predicted it would be 9-3 Ward in terms of rounds, but Kovalev landing a couple of knockdowns. Kovalev did better than I thought he did even though I didn't give Kovalev the decision.

    Like the decision or not, this was an entertaining fight fought on a very high level. Overall, boxing gained more fans tonight than it lost I hope!

    I hate this type of fights, regardless of how it goes fans will always claim robbery.

    Not happy with the scorecards, but credit to Ward for taking this fight, gutting it out, and putting on a courageous display.

    Honestly, I had Ward up.

    Although I missed the last quarter of the fight because my laptop's battery popped out and I had to endure a windows update for 10 minutes.

    I wanted Kov to win though. I really didn't like all the elbows from Ward I've seen in past fights.

    Why did Kovalev agree to having 3 American judges to score the fight in the first place ? If it was a joint Krusher promotion surely he could have had some say in who scores. Poor business acumen from him.

    I would love to go in on the US and say they sided with the American fighter against a Russian but as I'm from the UK and some of the absolute horror we have served up recently I can't really say much.

    Ward adjusted and won it back like a champ 8 rounds to 4 without the knockdown. close but felt the rounds were easy to judge apart from the 3rd round maybe

    He fought his way to the top spot! He's the P4P king, but Kova deserves a rematch!
