I still haven't rewatched it, as doing so will be more out of curiosity in seeing if I can agree with he verdict. Since I didn't care who won I decided to do other meaningless stuff instead today. If you gave the 10th to Ward you'd wind up with exactly what all 3 judges had it, he didn't need a knockdown when you said he did, just to point that out.

It's one of those fights where if you took all the people crying robbery and asked them to score it, there would probably be different rounds they gave to Ward between them, and assuming you could find 7 it makes the uproar pretty easy to refute. My impresion watching it live was that all 3 judges gave Ward basically every round they could have, which does seem like they had a dog in it. I read earlier that Kovalev is with HBO and Ward is a free agent, make of that what you will, but it could be a powerplay in terms of keeping his purse smallish again in a rematch.
