refferey only judges for the american fighter. ward could do what he wanted, illegaly, wrestle and hold and punch in the back, without the ref saying nothing. as soon as kovalev did a minor thing, like punching bellow the waist, it was "dont do that"
remembering mayweather-maidana 2, were mayweather could wrestle for 12 rds, ref never said nothing. than on the opposite, maidana wasnt allowed to box from inside. which is legal obviously, to where mayweather exceissvly holding is illegal.
kovalev landed more punches, he landed the more significant punches and that descision is a joke and the winner is kovalev.
usa refs, usa judges are a joke. just watch the fight before the main event, the mexican dude won 12 rds and got robbed.
watch kovalev and wards faces.....ward is total red n blue and kovalev nothing, not a scratch. but bought judges gift the des to ward hahahahaha ....come on man.....hahahahhahaa.....
and at the end, the reffery smiling and laughing with ward like "y<eah we amde it"
just a joke descision, a joke ref, joke judges, since long time i cant take boxing politics serious anymore. but i know who won and everybody else with a right mind. i was no problem saying the boxer that i favoured lost, when he lost, but today i was right on the outcome of kovalev winning
