Sergey Kovalev vs. Andre Ward - Official PPV Discussion

[IronDanHamza]

Yeah for me it's a joke but I don't want to sound like a mad boxing fan, hopefully a rematch would be sorted out. It was a close fight but I just didn't think Ward did enough, Kov is the champion and the challenger needs to go and get that belt.

All the challenger has to do is win the fight.

Whether it be 1 point or 12.

And Ward won it by 1.

[bojangles1987]

A fight with this many close rounds it's not difficult to name 7 possible rounds for either fighter.

Another example of what is clearly an either way fight.

Yeah, I'm not too upset. Can't wait to watch it again. Loved the fight.

[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

[dan_cov]

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.

[Vasyl’s dad]

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.

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?
