Sergey Kovalev vs. Andre Ward - Official PPV Discussion

[Rocky Rode]

The best way to settle this is for Ward fans to point the 7 rounds he supposedly took from Kovalev.

I need to watch this fight again.

5 7 8 9 10 11 12

Rounds 5,6 and 10 were toss up rounds honestly. I still don't know how Lederman gave Kovalev round 12

Hahaha

[W1LL]

Ward won: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12
Kovalev won: 1, 2, 10
Close: 11

Dunno what fight the judges were watching, making it so close.

Well we all called it when they announced 3 Yank judges and I don't think Byrd did much to stop the dirty fighting I think that ruined the fight.

This PPV event was a huge flop regardless of who won the fight I feel bad for whoever paid.

Man, at one point, ward tried to shoot Kovalevs leg like he was on a wrestling mat. He lifted his leg and tried to pick him up. All of the "ward is stronger on the inside" did not show in this fight. Kovalev was clearly the stronger of the two and just as smart and controlled the entire pace of the fight.

All the challenger has to do is win the fight.

Whether it be 1 point or 12.

And Ward won it by 1.

Ward winning 7 rounds yeah right.

[Robbie Barrett]

It was a close fight whoever won half the board was going to cry robbery.

[ippo]

Ward winning 7 rounds yeah right.

they had their rigged scorecards ready from roc nation.

[AriostoPl]

Ward rounds were:
3
4
5
9
10
11
12

Oh!
You don't think he won round 2 too?
Why not? He clinched in that round too - if it gave him all the other ones, why not round 2?

First, I want to congratulate Andre Ward on such a spirited display of will and determination by getting off the canvas an edging an out a very close decision.

He showed a lot of courage and grit in there against a very strong and powerful opponent. He actually surprised me in this fight. I picked Kovalev to win before the fight, but after the knock down, Sergey just wasn't effective enough for me.

He allowed Ward to slow the pace and get back into a rhythm. Sure, he was the aggressive but failed to cut off the ring and was reduced to landing only single punches at a time.

However, I can honestly say that there were no real losers tonight. I thought the fight could have gone either way but Ward seemed liked he wanted it just a little bit more to me.

As there was no sense of urgency in Kovalev, after the first two rounds; Especially that second round knockdown but I would love for these to two to fight again.

I know it won't be any of the first six. Maybe the fifth if you're being generous because he did more in that single round than the previous four, but even then, just because he did more than he did before doesn't mean he won that round. I know Kovalev won at least 2 rounds from 7-12.

Wow, Ward won 3 of those.
