Not saying Ward didn't connect some good shots but really.... He got knocked down in the 2nd and hurt in the 1st from a jab. To me, Kovalev won the first 6 rounds in a landslide, and Ward made it closer in the 2nd half of the fight. But no way he won. No way.
I agree that rounds 3, 4, 5 and 6 won this fight!
I scored them mainly to Ward and others to Kov. On my card had I scored those 4 rounds to Kov he wins the fight so yeah it was close.
Round 7 to 12 ward was winning the fight with jabs and body shots and my issue with Kov is he missed a lot.
A lot of people score punches not many look at the amount of times fighters miss.
Close but not by any means controversial.
