Anyone who claims Ward won the fight, could only do so if they ignore Kovalev's contribution. There is talk of close rounds, but as the Champion and the aggressor in the fight, doesn't Kovalev get the benefit of the doubt?

You have to stray too far from any sense of objectivity to agree with this decision. That's the problem I have with it.

There is no benefit of the doubt. The rounds are scored individually. They are totalled and the result is announced.
