    Horrible. People are killing the sport we love.

    All horrible. Ward Kovalev II for me.

    I don't care what the history books have to say, to me Kovalev is still LHW champion and GGG won vs Canelo. I really don't care for the arguments against those ideals of mine because every true, unbiased boxing fan knows what happened.

    I can't choose just one in this poll. I was more angry with the Ward - Kov 2 because I never expected it to end like that. This fight I knew could end up as a draw/loss for GGG as most fans thought the robbery was on the cards before the fight was even announced.

    Kovalev vs Ward 2 was definitely a worst robbery, because the referee let Ward repeatedly punch below the belt, did not give him a time out to recover, did not deduct points from Ward and did not warn him once. In other words he was given a complete free reign to cheat.

    The referee then topped it all off, by stopping the fight after Ward punched him right in the balls, and the replay shows him looking right at that punch.

    Its farcical action that actually ruined the fight and ruined it for everyone.

    At least the outcome of the fight between GGG and Kovalev was changed by bad refeering.

    At this point i'd settle for compubox being the judge. A good fair judge is better, but we do not get them on mega fights.

    Boxing is NOT a sport. Its a event night, part business part show, and the business of keeping the fighter who's going to be around longer and make more $$$ for the rest of them is getting the edge eon the cards EVERY TIME

    Canelo vs GGG is a close fight. I believe the descision is correct. Except 118-110 from adalaide byrd

    Sorry but boxing is based on history and when a fight is in the books it's official.
