People need to remember Kovalev was the champion.

You're right TS, he WAS the champ. Not anymore. Hes still the champion in most of boxing fans eyes doe.

Doesn't mean anything once the bell rings. All you have to do is win 7 rounds. what 7 rounds did ward win?

Disgraceful decision. If you are American and you think Ward deserved this decision you should be ashamed of yourself. We don't need a Sven Ottke here.

Doesn't mean anything once the bell rings. All you have to do is win 7 rounds. Which Ward most definitely didn't do in this fight. It was a terrible decision.

You are like the fifth Ward fan I read here admitting that Kovalev won. Most of the journalists also saw Kovalev win. Everyone outside the US saw Kovalev win. Many people in the US, in the crowd, and Ward fans, saw Kov win. This is an embarassment. Hope a rematch is made. All those saying WARD dominated KOV are downright hating.

Doesn't mean anything once the bell rings. All you have to do is win 7 rounds. Ding! Ding! Ding!

I was rooting for ward and predicted for ward to win ( review my post history) but Kovalev won that fight....it was close but no way did Andrei ward win that one You are like the fifth Ward fan I read here admitting that Kovalev won. Most of the journalists also saw Kovalev win. Everyone outside the US saw Kovalev win. Many people in the US, in the crowd, and Ward fans, saw Kov win. This is an embarassment.

A sad sad day for boxing. NO way does Ward move his p4p standing based on this fight.

If you're the black American fighter all you have to do is survive and you win the fight by default.

Kov get your rematch and don't leave it in the hands of American judges.

The challenger should have TAKEN the championship away from KOVALEV.....sadly he didnt. A rematch is in order.

I don't really buy the "you have to take the belt from the champion" stuff. It should be scored the same as any other fight. Kovalev edged out Ward comfortably because so many of Wards "punches" were messy superficial taps as the ref was breaking them. You ignore those, and he was outboxed most rounds + dropped. Perez should pursue legal action for clearly bribed judges. I can't remember the last fix that shameless and blatant. Boxing is still as shady as it was in the 20s.

Kovalev is still a champ,Ward is fake champ

Key word "was". Andre won the fight.
