    I scored it for Kovalev myself just barely with the early kd 6-6 but it was very close and by the 2nd half of the fight Ward had him figured out. No robbery here.

      No way Ward won that, even he looked embarrassed at the decision.

      Straight robbery.

        I cheered for Kov in that fight, and I thought it was Kov by 1 point.

        However, in the 2nd part he looked bad, which isn't good in the eyes of the judges, especially on your enemy's turf.

          Giving ward 7 rds in that fight is criminal.

            People know who won that first fight. There was no question. Those who try to pretend that there was some "ambiguity" or "an either way fight" have an agenda.

            Kovalev said he'd finish Ward's career in the rematch, and Ward hasn't fought since.

              I scored it for Ward.

              Close fight.

                Dan Rafael is an emotional man.

                  "Anyone who doesn't agree with me has an agenda."

                  Mmmm, sounds like a convenient way to never have to consider you might be wrong. Do you apply this philosophy to life generally?

                    It was 114-113 Ward, which is what The Ring had it as as well.

                    People were blinded by the fact that Kovalev got off to a huge start and knocked Ward down.

                    Ward figured him out by the 4th round and won the overwhelming majority of the rounds.
