? You do know he was knocked down, right? You do know that in order to win the fight you need to win 7 rounds? You do know that if you win 7 rounds, but were knocked down it would be a draw? You do know that in order to win a fight when you were knocked down, you need to win 8 rounds? Right?? You know that right?

Scorecards are already 114-113 u dumba$$ lack of basic mathematics r€tard b!tch.

I like Ward a lot but he clearly and without a doubt lost that fight. Obviously, he knows that therefore this comment.

[MONGOOSE66]

He fought nobody of note, his best win was against froch a very solid fighter, neither of whom would have beaten a prime Calzaghe

Yea, your right, whipping all those weak European fighters was a joke.

No. If you win 7 rounds but are knocked down, then your score is 114-113 instead of 115-113. Your math is wrong.

The thing is, no way in hell that Ward won 7 rounds.

I look at this differently. For a win you need 7 rounds, but a KD creates a deficit of one round, which de-facto requires you to win 8 in order to win.

Ok. Now do the math.

I had Ward winning the first fight 7 rounds to 5, and therefore winning the fight 114 to 113 when you deduct 1 point for the KD in round 2.

I gave Kovalev rounds 1, 2 (obviously), 4, 6, and 10.
I scored rounds 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 for Ward.

All 3 judges in fact had similar scores, with the only difference being that they gave Kovalev round 3, based on carry-over from the round 2 KD; and gave Ward round 10, based on the momentum from the previous 3 rounds.

But not great fighters

They're great fighters for the modern era I think. Two guys at the top of their game, showing all the skills of boxing

[HeadShots]

WARD lost that fight.
