Andre Ward is similar to Sven Ottke

I am unbiased person

No such thing.

Of course, but some people are able to realize their acquired bias, thus are able to account for it.

The people here who roasted Floyd for holding Hatton,
even though Floyd did much more in-fighting that Kovalev.
Yet, Kovalev's holding is justified,
actually defending it with a hypocritical bias they wouldn't lend to anyone else.

Guys like Freedom, Blowe, ...

I don't see the similarities.

I am white and straight, born and live at Balcan, aghnostic although nominally christian....And I liked Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Lewis, Holyfield, even Tyson.............Now, I like (or respect) Gonzalez, Rigondeaux, Lomachenko, M. Garcia, Crawford, Spence, GGG, Kovalev, Beterbiev, even Ward, Usyk, Lebedev, Gassiev,Huck, Joshua, Klitschko(s), Ortiz, Wilder, Povetkin, even Haye and Fury...How can I be biased, I don't give a fook for race, nationality, ethnicity or religious beliefs....I am fond of boxing, don't care for politics.........

I haven't seen it in years and years but I remember feeling Reid was robbed against Otke.

Reid was an unlucky guy; he arguably got robbed against Calzaghe too.

I seem to remember Reid being warned for actually hitting Ottke,it was the biggest robbery i have ever seen,Calzaghe though,for me won by a round or two.

Well, I don't think you could have read Freedom 2013 (and the names before that) and not realize you are in the minority.

There hasn't been a serious backlash from Ward fans about Kovalev's holding.
That's because it's in fairness. It's an acceptance.
So, Kovalev supporter then have the gall to accuse Ward of holding too much.

At the end of the fight, I was in complete suspense. I thought he fight was one point either way.
I thought Ward won rounds 3-12, but Kovalev had a 3 point lead.
In those 10 rounds, I thing it was 7-3 Ward. I could also see 6-4 Ward.
