It was a close fight, and Ward got the decision. Far from a robbery. Bring on the rematch.

The tears on here will flow for a long while...

Lampley in his closing speech: "Did american fighter get favoritism from american judges over cold war foe russian fighter?"

anyone here who claims ward won is either american (and ******) or just plain ole ******. shut the donald trump faithful up in the background and its a very different fight. this night was appalling and if i were kovalev, i would get out of yanksville and never go back. dirty stinking ****** thieving ****s. its getting like germany with the judges there....

The Brits know boxing they scored it for S.O.G!!! Im loving reading all your hurt....please feed me more bwahahaha!

Robbery. This racism favoring blacks in boxing needs to stop. Just today, Perez from Colombia defeated Hooker but since the latter is black they gave him the nod. Same with Ward-Kovalev, Kovalev dropped and attacked Ward who hugged all the time and did nothing to hurt Kovalev, even ran for half the fight. Boxing is a joke.

I do have to watch again without Lederman and Kellerman, too bias so HBO Coverage made it look like Kovalev Dominated from Start to Finish and that certainly is NOT what happened not even close. Lederman scoring was WAY OFF and Kellerman and Roy Jones Jr kept saying they disagree

Close fight that could have gone either way. I had Kov slightly edging it, but have no problem with the decision. Boxing looks a lot different from ringside than it does from television. No robbery here, just a close tough fight by two great warriors. I hope to see a rematch. I also hope to see Ward given the credit he deserves since so many claimed he wouldn't even take the fight. Hats off to Kovalev and Ward for putting it all on the line tonight.

The knock down was in round two. You have to score 12 individuals rounds. Think of it as 12 fights.

A chess match can't be a robbery. It was close. I'm not sure if anyone deserved to win the fight, I'll have to rewatch it and score more carefully, but it's far from a robbery when a fight is this close.

The two clearest rounds were round 1(Ward stunned by a jab) and round 2(brutal knockdown). That's a guaranteed 20-17 start for Kovalev. There were a lot of close rounds but they gave the benefit of the doubt to Ward way too many times. Robbery imo.

This is terrible for boxing

this is why people are watching UFC

you get the best fighters fighting each other

and most fights aren't that controversial

and very very rarely do you get this kind of outrageous nonsnes

[Vegemil]

No matter what anybody says that was a good ****ing fight. Very close for me I didn't know who to give it to but looking forward to the rematch.
