What is surprising is the source - and these are all US sources calling "BS!". We haven't even heard from Kovalev's side, the Russian media.

Because they know all the belts go to America if you don't KO the American. Ask Povetkin, he didn't even receive the chance to fight at all.

Yeah, I talked about that elsewhere when I was saying that the Russians should pull out of all the crooked western alphabet things and las vegas drug testing rackets and make their own sports associations along with eastern Europe and the BRIC countries.

It is extremely hard to beat your opponent if judge(s) are on his side. I just experienced that in a traffic court where a judge unconditionally sided with prosecution and a police officer having huge holes in their case. Kovalev needed to stop Ward or at least drop him a couple more times. I doubt that the second KD would do it. Judges would just say that Ward won 9 rounds.

It sure was, especially judge Hoyle giving the fight to Hooker 97-93. Las Vegas is probably the crookedest place in the world for boxing, just ahead of Grozny. It's the crookedest city in the world, founded and funded and run by the Mafia with one thought in mind - fleece the suckers. No foreign fighter should ever fight there - but then they pay the big bucks. Fights in LV are as fixed as their "gaming" machines.

Yep, typical. If the Russian doesn't win it had to be one of two scenarios, in their minds; the opponent cheated somehow, or the Russian did not cheat well enough :OhYes:

For the time being Wilder obviously got away with his shit and he still hasn't payed about 80 million dollar, not even half of it, not a dime in fact.

Wilder had no intention of fighting Povetkin. Fighters planning to fight in a far away place generally go there in advance to acclimate themselves and train in that country and avoid travel fatigue right before the fight. Wilder never went to Russia. His handlers watched the video of Povetkin-Perez and said, "Whoa! We don't want to lose our cash cow that quickly!" I don't think Wilder is a bad sort, but I think that was pretty much the scenario, and the telling point is that they are not interested in rescheduling it. A lotta "poo" as the censoring software here puts it!

Exactly, and that's why the WBC should duck him as a champion, just like they would have done with a Russian champion.

Come on, man, you know that the only problem that you had with the FSB's coordinated circumvention of the drug testing regimen for the Olympics was that they got caught. Of course, typical Russian tactics are to point at everybody else and claim they are guilty.

Putin has perfected that tactic.
