    Beat Gamboa a rated fighter who had a lot of hype alot of people here picked Crawford to lose. Beat Postol a rated fighter a lot of people here picked him to duck and to lose against. He's also moved up in weight and is the man at 140.

    Wow you had it that wide to Gonzalez, that seems crazy to me but you know what I haven't scored it. However in this case I'm sure you would accept most people do not have it as wide as you.

    Your Kovalev score card is bizarre you sat on the fence for a lot of rounds, I do have rounds even from time to time but not as many as 4 rounds in a fight.

    Postol is his only good win, Gamboa had and has no business at 135.

    Yes he's a 2 weight world champion but both divisions at the time were weak, worse state than 160 which is considered by many to be the weakest division in the history of boxing.

    Crawford is an excellent talent but it's all about what he could do than what he's actually done. He should be on the list but I'd have him in the bottom half.

    I disagree Postol and Gamboa are P4P better than anyone at 160.

    Ward may just have a bigger problem on the horizon in Beterbiev.

    Ugh, my math is off, should be 116-110. But same difference. My score is actually pretty consistent with the press I've seen. So I don't know what you are talking about. Also the larger point, it seems the overwhelming majority had Gonzalez as the winner.

    ESPN: 117-109
    World Boxing News: 115-111
    USA Today: 116-110
    HBO: 114-112



    I score more even rounds then most, and I can say I'm fully confident in the rounds I awarded to the fighters. And I ultimately fall in with the 75% that had Kovalev winning.

    Of the even rounds....3,5,9, and 12. You could split those, Kov still wins 7-5. But I personally don't feel comfortable picking a winner of these rounds..3,5, and 9 are very low action with neither man scoring much or making an impression. In 12 both men scored pretty good and matched each other in moments. Most seem to favor Kovalev in round 12, I'm not confident in that.

    What's bizarre is the official scorecards. Especially all three seeing round 10 as a Ward round. It's one of the most one sided and easy to score rounds in the fight.

    Okay well you reported four scorecards, anyway my arguement isn't that I think Wangek won, I'm saying it didnt look like a robbery just like the Ward vs Kovalev one didn't either.

    If some gave all the rounds you had even to Ward, Ward wins. Some people rarely score even rounds and on my score card Kovalev won round 10 like you said but he the preceded to lose 11 & 12 on my scorecard.
