Andre Ward vs. Sergey Kovalev II on June 17

I had it 7-5 for kovalev plus the knockdown. I thought that kovalev did enough to deserve the decision, but I wasn't one of the many people who cried robbery. Why does it seem like everyone on this thread think that it wasn't a robbery? I swear I was the only one at the time saying that the decision was fair.

I have to see how the camps go. With the early rumors out of krushers camp that he wants to add a Russian coach... It's taking any edge I gave him off of motivation for revenge this time around (too many cooks spoil the broth). Ward will work on his head movement get inside another and start the hug and slug earlier and do a lot of talking between now and the fight to try to get Kovalev off his game. So I have to see what kovalevs focus is like. Everyone knows what ward brings already so I expect him to be in full bhop mode. That includes baiting Kovalev into a dirty fight and then complaining to the ref for point deductions.

Stop calling the first fight a robbery.

Roy jones getting silver in the olympics was a robbery.

Degale and Jack was a very close fight with Jack edging it a round.

Watching the Ward vs Sergey fight i found it very close..but I felt Ward did not do enough to take that mans belts.

I see Ward adjusting this time but I wouldn't bet money on it.

I pretty much agree with everything that's been written here, except perhaps that I am not 100% convinced that Ward did deserve it with the scores he got handed, but that was so close that minor perspectives in judging could easily explain what. No matter what, it was a close fight and there shouldn't be any riot about whoever min/might have won that one.
