Ward fans admitting defeat

Well I promised I would quote posts from a lot of unbiased Ward fans who said he saw Kovalev win. I just searched a little bit, there are many more posts to quote, but I don't feel like wasting more time. Very close fight. I thought Kov won by one or two. Look at my sig. You know who I wanted to win. (his signature is a picture of Andre Ward) I felt like andre ward lost that fight. Imma pay for the rematch tho All I got to say is wow. Boxing is going down the tubes. I was going for Ward , but there is no way in hell he won that fight. High way robbery. Feel bad for Kovalev I pickedr Ward but Kovy won that fight! Tonight was a horrible night for boxing! Another black-eye on the sport! I love Dre, but he didn't win that fight! I think Stevenson might finish him! An immediate rematch is well deserved! I don't think it was a bad decision per se...but I did think Kov won it I've been watching boxing for more than 50 years and this is one of the worst decisions I've seen Had it close for Kov. The knockdown was the difference. Either way it was a very close fight. Andre looked slow off the back foot. Almost like he was limping. Had predicted Ward winning, but scored it for Kovalev: wow got my prediction right lol even though i scored it for kovalev I think Kov won by 1 round. I can understand the high emotions. I was rooting for Ward tho. Not a robbery by any means. But have st it guys. Very surprised by the decision. I thought it was close but I had Kov winning. I wanted Ward to win and was disappointed because I thought he lost and then the decision. I don't know that to say I thought Kovalev won. 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 Ward lost plain and simple. Its one of those fights that no matter how close you think it was, you still know Kov won it. Like Floyd-Maidana. No matter how close you scored it, it was clear Floyd won. Yall are Wards number one fans saying he won it, and you guys want to talk about agendas and bias... lol I was rooting for Ward and picked him to outbox Kov, and I was wrong. Dont be a bunch of stans. Idk man I was rooting for Ward but I thought kolv won by atleast 3 rounds I heard the judges didn't give a round past the 5th? If that true then that just plain crazy I'm a Ward fan and thought Kovalev won by 2 rds. Big Ward fan here. One of my favorite fighter. Objectively speaking I had Kovalev winning the fight by one round. New post: i'm a ward fan and gave it to kovalev. Kov outboxed Ward and I was surprised because I was pulling for Ward and my mouth dropped to the floor when they said he won, Kov did get robbed don't care what no one says Thank you all guys for your honesty.

no fight 2 kovalev will be destroyed. his body was broken by wards devastating body attack. i dont tihnk kovalev will ever be able to make it back into the ring. ward retired him. Wanna bet on the rematch Ward scared doe He gonna retire doe IMO you're not too confident kov will beat Ward Kov is a good fighter but I don't see him winning unless by ko and that's highly unlikely Like I said before ward would change the fight n adapt He knows kov now....gonna be a clearer win Wanna bet?

I'm a bigger fan of Kovalev, but I thought it was a close and deserved to go either way. I had the same score as the judges, though, 114-113 Ward.

I knew also of certain known youtubers from the LDBC/LGBT that were live at the fight and had Kovalev winning, in shock... But then they have their rotten agenda to push, flip-flopping frauds... It wasn't a close fight either, Kovalev outboxed and dominated comfortably, Ward can't box, no technique whatsoever, his game is based around constant fouling, diving with his head, elbows, MMA's style takedowns (LOL), holding and hitting, slaps with palms and wrists, kidney/back of the head shots, and such, ALL ILLEGAL... In a less corrupt sport Ward and DQs woukd always be tied togheter...

kov can fight much much worse and still win the rematch provided there are competent judges. ward can fight much much better and still lose provided there are competent judges. Repeating the same hollow comment doesn't bring validity to your statement He fights the same in fight 2 and he'll lose by a larger margin....stay delusional bro

Some people on this board live sad lives. What does this change in the grand scheme of things? Confirmation bias. It's a coping mechanism. Let them vent. Confirmation bias, also called confirmatory bias or myside bias, is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses, while giving disproportionately less consideration to alternative possibilities. It is a type of cognitive bias and a systematic error of inductive reasoning. People display this bias when they gather or remember information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way. The effect is stronger for emotionally charged issues and for deeply entrenched beliefs. People also tend to interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing position. Biased search, interpretation and memory have been invoked to explain attitude polarization (when a disagreement becomes more extreme even though the different parties are exposed to the same evidence), belief perseverance (when beliefs persist after the evidence for them is shown to be false), the irrational primacy effect (a greater reliance on information encountered early in a series) and illusory correlation (when people falsely perceive an association between two events or situations).

Many of them weren't American. They were just people assigned to cover the fight for whatever media entity they work for. Even the people that had Kov winning, most of them had 114-113 (like me) or 115-112 which is 6-6 or 7-5. It's impossible to give Ward enough rounds to win that fight unless you're either stupid or have an agenda.

60 TOTAL SCORES POLLED FROM MEDIA 44 Scores for KOVALEV = 73% 15 Scores for WARD = 25% 1 Score for a DRAW = 2% Also 33,3% of official judges had Canelo vs Mayweather a draw... that's why the voice of the majority matters. That score in Floyd/Canelo was seen as bad from roughly 98% of ringside scorers. Here its 27%. My only point is you are making the closeness of the score about things outside the ring when it was due to the closeness of the fight inside the ring.

I'd say half of those people are stupid, and half are biased in some way. I'd definitely say that 13.5% people of any population are mentally very limited. Challenged. Bias probably plays a bigger role than stupidity to explain the 27% of people ringside (how many Americans among them?) who actually scored Ward winning enough rounds to win that fight. Bias makes more sense, which is why "personal agenda" was highlighted a few posts ago. Many of them weren't American.

You have to assume there's personal agenda, because otherwise only a total retard would score that fight for Ward. That is ridiculous dude. 27% of those scoring at ringside or for their media outlet had Ward winning.

Maxi, who you are a fan of or who you were rooting for didn't determine how anyone scored the fight. I get you are upset about the judges decision. It really sucks that you are discounting everything that actually happened in the ring by making it seem like anyone who scored it for Ward did so because of race, politics or some personal agenda. Eh... no. Just showing that even many Ward fans saw him lose. I think I only read one Kovalev fan saying he lost. But I saw many Ward fans saying Ward lost. That's it. This is just a recopilation of facts. Your conclusions are yours.
