    Spoil and spoil and spoil some more with the odd jab for the cameras.

    I think fights should be judged on the fight not the crendentials. It was a closely contested fight and ward eaked out a deicision by winning almost all later rounds and some in the early parts.

    I would say that Ward didn't really take it away from the champion, but I don't agree with that perceived inbuilt scoring bias anyway. Both men are equal and should be judged equally as though they both have nothing.

    With American judges for an American fighter in VEGAS, yes that's apparently how you take belts from the champ.

    I knew the fix was in once the commentary team set the tone early on. Those would have been the scorecards regardless of how close it was or wasn't.

    No one here can say with a straight face that Ward took the belts from the Champ

    It was clear that American judges robbed Kov tonight.
