Here's what I think it is, Vend.
Had this been a regular fight, with no nationalistic overtones, or an American S.O.G. with an undefeated record..... it may not have been so bad. Still the wrong decision, but nothing to be angry about. But given the magnitude and the circumstances..... as well as the utter predictability of the judges decision..... it made it all the more ridiculous.
It's the utter predictability of the decision. Some of us were calling it since midway through the fight.
Kovalev wasn't going to get a fair shake, no matter what.
