Where does Ward Kovalev rank in the all time robberies list?

it doesnt even qualify as a robbery, fight was way too close. you could give the fight to either guy.

close fights aren't robberies

Not a robbery, but definitely some bias there. Pretty unbelievable that the judges gave Ward the 10th rd. More unbelievable that not one gave it to Kovalev in a clear round that proved to be pivotal.

I haven't watched the fight since November. I had Ward by a point so no robbery

I don't know what people mean when they say "Bad decision but it wasn't a robbery". If he won and didn't get the win he got robbed... Doesn't really matter if it was 2 points or 20 points.

I have it on par with Pac Bradley 1 IMO The more years pass the more Ward's reputation will stink if in the end he doesn't give Kovalev a rematch. Ward will be remembered as the son of judges just because of this aftertaste. People don't forget this stuff.

OP is still crying?

Not a robbery, more of a gift decision. You could have Ward ahead if you give him every benefit of the doubt, but not if all 3 judges give him a must win round he clearly lost. The undercard fight was already more corrupt, but the bigger the fight, the bigger the controversy. That's how PAC Jmm 3 (closer than Kovalev Ward) got voted Ring fan robbery of the year over Lara vs Pwill, a real robbery.

No robbery.

I had kova winning 120-107. I'm not sure what the judges saw.

The only people who got robbed were the Kov fans that counted Ward out in round 2 and ignored everything he did afterwards. They were robbed of the experience of witnessing a tremendous comeback. Fights this close being called robberies is just funny. Any debatable bout gets half the forum's panties in a twist.

I have it on par with Pac Bradley 1 IMO It wasn't a Robery come on now

Absurd. A close fight can't be a robbery. De La Hoya/Trinidad Pacquiao/Bradley Gonzalez/Pascal THOSE are robberies. Ward/Kovalev was a fight were Ward won 4 rounds definitively, Kovalev won 4 rounds definitively and 4 rounds were up for grabs, simple as that.

Clear cut winner for Robbery of the Decade.

I have 3 levels of when I disagree with a decision 1) A close fight that could have gone any way. In this case, I accept the official decision, because its a reasonable decision, just one I didn't make. For example, I thought Trout edged Canelo, but I accept the official decision. 2) Clear winner: I do not accept the official decision, because I thought it was a clear decision, that the officials got wrong. and 3) Straight robbery. No need to even discuss. To me Ward - Kovalev is the second category. Kovalev was IMO the clear winner, and that's how I analyze the result (hence, Kovalev is my p4p #2a, while Ward is 2b). It wasn't a straight robbery like Pac Bradley. I will listen to arguments that Ward outboxed Kovalev for 7 rounds. I can see how someone might think that, especially if they overlook punches landed in favor of "ring generalship." But I don't accept these arguments. Kovalev won.

Not a robbery.

Not a robbery.

No it couldn't of gone either way someone won and someone lost that either way **** is what people say when they don't know how to score. Yeah, ward won and kovalev lost. It's an argument I won't be getting into because it's been done to death on here. Different people score fights in different ways. Always have and always will.

It's definitely in the top 25,000 for me

Not very high at all because it wasn't a robbery. It was a very close fight that could have went either way. It is also a decision that people need to get over. No it couldn't of gone either way someone won and someone lost that either way **** is what people say when they don't know how to score.
