giving an actual scorecard vs a bunch of robbery butt hurt none sense. i need people to argue why the rounds i gave to ward wasn't warranted?
K stands for kovalov W stands for ward.
k/rd k/2rd (plus the extra point) w/3rd k/4rd w/5rd k/6rd w/7rd w/8rd w/9rd w/10rd w/11rd
now the 12th is a toss up to me very close the closest round in the entire fight.....but lets just go with kovalov. that means ward would have still won by 1 point. just as the judges had it.
post your scorecards & tell me why the rounds i gave to ward is so insane?......

WHERE IS THE ROBBERY........Computerbox has Kovalev landing more punches in rounds 1, 2, 4, 6, 10 and 12 so I disagree with you giving any of these rounds to Ward. When the much harder puncher lands more punches in a round he wins that round. Computerbox may not be perfect but they are fair and neutral and neither a Ward fan nor a Kovalev fan. I give Kovalev rounds 1, 2, 4, 6, 10 and 12 plus an extra point against Ward for being knocked down and beaten up in round 2. I give Ward rounds 3, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 11. So my score card is 114 for Kovalev 113 for Ward. Looking at my score card I have to agree with you that it wasn't a robbery. It was a close fight that people will argue about for years.
The problem with boxing is they don't use enough 10-10 rounds. There were so many rounds there that you could have awarded to either guy. But for some reason, judges are trained to give a guy a 10-9 round when all they did was land an extra punch or 2, which can drastically change the outcome of a fight.
Close fight that I had Kovalev winning 6-6 (with the KD). I would probably lean more towards 7-5 Kovalev or 8-4 Kovalev than 7-5 Ward.
I saw 4 rounds Kovalev won clean and 3 rounds Ward won clean.
That leaves 5 round that were a toss up to me. Coulda had as high as 9-3 Kovalev or 8-4 Ward technically.

WHERE IS THE ROBBERY........If you scored the fight the way you did then there was no robbery. I think most of the fans thought Kovalev clearly won the fight. According to computerbox Kovalev landed more punches than Ward in 6 of the 12 rounds. Kovalev threw 137 more punches and landed 10 more punches. Kovalev landed 17 more power punches. He was the attacker the entire fight. He scored a crushing knock down and beat Ward up the remainder of that round. Kovalev obviously landed the harder punches. Kovalev threw more punches and he landed more and better punches and that's why most fans thought he won.
