Fucking joke!
Ward may have done more than he did earlier in some of the rounds but he certainly didn't out score Kovalev in all of the last half! I couldn't believe it when they announced it! By the looks of his surprise, neither could Ward!
You've been quiet just lately Ross, where ya been?
Neither did I.

Dunno what the fuck Lederman and Rafael were smoking.
Judges had Kov winning round 3 and 4 vendettas.
I and the sky sports crew scored them to ward mate.Quote:

I have only had a few hours sleep over the last couple of days and didn't write down any scores for this but I at least remember Kovalev winning the last round. When you do more and land more you win a round. A few nice looking shots here and there don't take away how much you have been hit.
Just not much taking my fancy to bother posting about is all.Quote:

Watched it again, but with the sound off (thanks for the YouTube, Batman).
The robbery is even more obvious than ever.
Round 1: Hard Kov jab rattles Ward. Not much else. 10-9 Kov
Round 2: Knockdown. 10-8 Kov
Round 3: Not much actually connected from either side, but gave the edge to Ward. 10-9 Ward
Round 4: Ward does precious little except for meaningless pawing. 10-9 Kov
Round 5: Close round, but gave edge to Kov. 10-9 Kov
Round 6: Clear round for Kov. Ward going backwards and grappling (I hate grappling). 10-9 Kov
Round 7: Could call this one even, but I'll generously give it to Ward. 10-9 Ward
Round 8: They BOTH did a lot of missing, not just Kov. 10-9 Ward
Round 9: 10-9 Kov
Round 10: Ward bolo'ed..... Kov jabbed him in the face. Clear round for Kov. 10-9 Kov
Round 11: One of the better rounds of the fight. Good exchanges. Ward lefts and Kov rights. 10-9 Ward
Round 12: Close round, but 10-9 Kov
116-111 Kovalev
Several things.
Ward missed just as much as Kov.
I absolutely HATE Ward's style with a passion. Grappling is Ward's style. To Kov's credit, he was drawn into it, but refused to be pushed around.
Kov was the aggressor all night long. He was the defending champion. How the hell do you lose three belts like that?
It's official.... it was highway robbery, and HBO are accomplices.
We go to the scorecards: Kovalev v Ward, this site collected 60 media scores, 44 had kov, 15 ward, 1 a draw....not saying majority is always right but I think in this instance they are.
But it shows that Ward had a case even if kovalev should have won. It wasn't as if nobody thought ward won. This was no Williams beating Lara.Quote:

Ward winning last night was not a robbery..I would have accepted either fighter winning..in fact, the belts should not have been on the line for some crazy reason of mine as I wanted more from the winner to take those belts..put the belts on the line in the rematch.
I remember watching Oscar/Floyd and thinking it was close..then I watched again and it was Floyd 8-4 easy.

It was aggravated assault on the sport of boxing.
Just cannot get my head around Ward "taking" anything last night. Had 116-111 and can see 115-112 Kovalev but that's as close as it gets. The announce crew was clearly Ward but in actuality who cares they didn't score the fight.
As I've said I had Kovalev winning 7-5 or worst 6-6, but could you please explain why you gave him rounds 9 and 12?These were very close but I remember giving them to Ward. The 12th was really hard to score.Quote:

Great fight overall, but I disagree with the decision. I had Kov ahead by a few rounds, all said and done. Ward did better the second half, but Kov was landing the better, cleaner, and more powerful shots. Either way, hope there is an immediate rematch!!!
