    It is apparent when you bully an opponent around the ring, out box them, out land ( even when Compubox was shown as a farce against Pac and proven) land the shots that actually hurt and cause visible damage, when you are the aggressor and control the fight, do everything you can, you still lose....

    The Kov fight was worse than Pac as it wasn't close, Kov did everything better, all Ward did in the later rounds was up his work rate but was still getting hurt and bullied, he didn't slow Kov down, Kov took his foot off for 2 rounds, easily won 10 and 12, won the first 5 with ease and if I am kind I will give Ward the rest, that's being VERY VERY kind.

    No sugar coating, Ward was beaten, beaten worse than when Boone beat him, he was stunned to win, utterly stunned and his corner were shocked, Kov beat him up so badly and I truly believe this could be the end of boxing, Dana White will be delighted cos boxing is still protecting it's favourites where their investment lies, everyone can see Ward lost and it really wasn't close at all, anyone saying it's close is saying it based on the fact it's in America. Ward wasn't the champion, he didn't come to take the belts, he backed off, got hurt, outboxed, bullied, dropped, flung around and beaten up. Boxing in Nevada is a joke and no fighter should fight there again until it's cleaned up.

    There's a reason why Ward wants all his fights in Oakland or the USA.

    The Kovalev-Ward rematch should not be in the USA. It would seem unfair to hold it in the USA.

    As you said, Kovalev was significantly better than Ward last night. I don't think the fight was very close.

    It can't be right that not only is it in his country, but he has 3 American judges too, at a time when tensions between Russia and America are very precarious with the sec of state openly accusing them of hacking. It's crazy how this was even allowed.

    Too many robberies and bad decisions in the US now, time for it to be cleaned up, drain the swamp!

    There's a reason Pac and Kov fight in the USA. They actually make money here. Kov was, according to his story, penniless in his country. Both have won many fights against American fighters in the USA WITH American judges. Way to be a drama queen.

    Floyd was clear winner over Manny

    Kov to me won the fight but I have no problem with the scores. It was that close.

    It was a bad decision and Kovalev won clearly. Ward didn't come back strong enough. He needed 15 rounds.

    That said, yeah. Bad decisions happen everywhere. That's boxing. You pick up the pieces and move on, trusting the historians to take note in important fights.
