In all honesty, I get sick of some of these idiots complaining about every US or black fighter, they know who they are. So no matter who won, I was a winner. Happy if Kovalev won for more excitement in the division or happy if Ward won so these idiots could shut the Hell up. Unfortunately, they still think Kovalev would have stormed back, dead tired, to secure a KO.

Case in point, I wanted Wlad to beat Joshua. Yet I still picked Joshua to win. Just because I root for one guy, doesn't mean I think he will win. Or not give him his props after a win.

But the "idiots" were right. I was getting sick of reading the prefight excuses, but they all turned out to be true. Posting a resounding "Haaaaa." doesn't look any more unbias than listening to RJJ commentate.

I scored it 5-2 Kovalev, giving Ward the opening round, which also could've gone to Kovalev. 4-3 Ward is off.

To each their own sir. I could see 4-3 Kovalev, I just think 5-2 is too high. What were the official scores, if given?

Deep down, euros LOVE the controversial stoppage because it gives them a fake crutch and takes away from the fact that Kovalev was surely on his way to defeat. If thats a standing 8 count hes down 3 points on 2 cards heading into Round 9 in a fight where he was gassing badly. He was done. Stop with this nonsense.

And this coming from a guy who started THIS thread stating he bet on Kovalev. I'm just being realistic.

Best Coast wrote: Agreed! Kovalev was up on the cards but was fading fast and likely would not have made it past the 9th, even if he had been given a standing 8 count instead of the stoppage.

And Ward took Kovalev best shots and won the fight.

Kovalev's not the destroyer everyone makes him out to be. FACE IT...FACE IT

Do you think Kovalev got a fair deal in both these fights?

I had Kovalev winning the first fight by a point. Close fight. Not a robbery.

I had Kovalev AHEAD slightly tonight as well but could how badly he was fading.

Someone said 2 judges had Ward up by 1 and another had Kovalev by 3.

People are pissed off in here!

fading so bad, he won the previous 2 rounds leading up to the final

yeah , makes sense

Kovalev looked unsure if he even wanted a rematch.

I didn't think Kovalev won the previous 2 rounds. By the looks of him, it seemed he was fading. Most of the fight he seemed a bit slower and lethargic from the first fight. Which he faded in too and vowed he corrected.
