Ward won 5 rounds maximum, Kovalev the rest. If that fight not in the US, Kovalev gets the verdict.

Kovalev is the winner in my mind. Fight was close. Some close rounds. I don't think it was outrageous, but I think Ward definitely was lucky with those scores.

Judges had it Ward 114 - 113 x3. I basically agree.

Boxing judges favouring spoiling, holding, fouling over punching, agression and holding the ring.

Imagine my shock.

that was a fix. KOV won, he was up comfortably going into last round yet the sportsbooks odds had WARD 2/1 fav going into 11th..joke
Kov landed more punches, Ward back peddling all night trying to look flashy but was not effective at all.
not surprised at all at the judges results... fornicate boxing

114-113 x 3 to Ward - the judges all had it the same as me.

A rematch would be great, but I'd much rather see Ward vs GGG.

Possibly the best fight I've ever seen live.

No, they favored power shots with snap over tentative, glancing pitty-pat jabs.

2 robberies on the same card.

Ward won? Yea right he was dropped and outlanded. All major media (HBO, British feed) had Kov winning. But of course the phony American judges scored it for Ward.

Boxing sucks. This sport is sh1t. Everything is too political. Bad decisions are the norm.

Dont think im interested in it anymore tbh.

Robbery, EXACTLY what I expected.

Lederman's 116-111 score was correct, props to him.

Byrd allowed Ward to clamp grapple and wrestle like I expected.

No one should crow either way. That's not how I operate. These guys are both elite. The best. Let's do it again.

Personally I had Roman Gonzales as p4p #1 before this fight. Now I have Ward #1 and Kovalev #2 - both guys' stock goes up from this fight IMO.
