    Ward drops Kovalev, then does the same work Kovalev did for the rest of the fight (and vice versa for Kovalev) and Kovalev gets the decision. Every poster on here claiming it was "clear" Ward won would be crying robbery, russian fix, corrupt ect. No doubt.

    The good news out of this is that the UK now becomes boxing's new home for big fights, no reason international fighters should go to the u.s anymore.

    The UK has had the worst scorecards in recent years.

    By all means, show me some examples in which established stars have come to the UK and been robbed.

    LMAO!

    Ward (or any other US fighter) won't fight Kovalev in Russia. No one wants to see that except Russians, and their opinions don't count.

    I don't know what you're talking about, how is that relevant?

    A robbery doesnt have to consist of a fight having an established star in it...the Jamie McDonnell win was fuc king scandalous!

    Kovs going to have to take what ward gives him.

    He's in no position to demand anything

    UK, more specifically Matchroom is seen as the prime place to get robbed by judges.

    No it doesn't, but classically if a fighter has no political backing in terms of promotion, he isn't getting a decision against a home fighter really anywhere in the world. The u.s has gone past that many times and robbed top fighters, this doesn't happen in the UK.

    If the positions were switched and Ward was the champ fighting in Russia then Ward would have lost due to being deducted 4 points for holding and wrestling!

    Initially he was holding however Kovalev was as culpable, throughout he was tieing up Wards arms when they were up close!!

    Only "established stars" being robbed counts? Nice caveat.

    What established stars have actually fought in the UK?
