Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Gets Off The Floor, Decisions Sergey Kovalev

[ippo]

If that's the case then they should have called it for Kovalev as he landed the jab more often and more effectively.

actually ward landed more jabs

Two robberies in one night? That's some fishy/shady stuff.

Yep , none of them know what the **** they are talking about. People want excitement and aggression, but the more aggressive fighter doesn't win the fight against a better technical one, and since most of the ringside people are regular joes, celebrities, and keyboard warriors, they don't know shtt about boxing or how a boxing fight is scored, people wanna see violence, blood , so they are always gonna support that type of fighter, but for the ones that do know boxing they are gonna agree with the decision and agree the fight is scored on points not on agression

Even if you score that fight by who landed more in which rounds, Kov comes out the winner.

Ward did not win 7 rounds, but he needed 8 after the KD.

I'm not upset with the result. Because my buddy and I watched it and I was telling him that Ward was edging most of the rounds when Kovalev would land a couple hard shots that made the announce team go crazy. I'm just curious as to how they came up with the scores. 114-114 is a draw in a 12rd fight. When they announced 114-113, I assumed they had scored it six rounds apiece, with Kovalev winning because of the KD.

7-5 Ward. 115-113 Ward becomes 114-113 after -1 pt. for the KD.

that is exactly what I said would happen.....

that it was a 50/50 fight, with the slight edge going to Ward..... and that he may have to climb off the deck to win

expect a rematch

Ward will be MUCH better with this fight under his belt, and I pick him to win the rematch

Yeah we have like 100% opposite perspectives on the fight. It seemed like Kovalev got away with everything. He had a low blow late in the fight (was warned, but it was still a bad punch), he "fell down" when he was absolutely gassed and exhausted (he needed a break), and he held/clinched Ward all night long...especially in the first half of the fight. I get that Ward clinches often in his fights, but it was mostly Kovalev clinching from my 1080p HDTV

You are definitely crazy and a fan boy.

Ward is a s.h.i.t and he was the only clincher.

Exactly how I had it. I can see it either way or a draw since there were several real close rounds. Immediate rematch is the only solution here, one fight wasn't enough to determine who is better.

Real talk, bruh.

Leaderman had the best card. Boxing is dead. Expect more pop-ups and virus ads here to try to pay the bills. MMA won.

You're missing my point entirely then. What I'm saying is this was no robbery. Clearly this fight was close, therefore by definition it's not a robbery. I person would like to have seen a draw, rematch and fight again. What I'm arguing against is people who are saying it was a blatant robbery and won't admit it was a close fight. You can disagree with the decision, that's fine, but a robbery it was not.

Agree, people can disagree with the decision but it was no robbery. I had the same score as the judges but could have easily seen it the other way.

Ya I come to a boxing website and this is what surprised me. Was pretty clear (to me at least) that Ward was in control from 6-12. I gave Kovalev rounds 4 and 5, but I gave Ward 3. I think from 6-12 Kovalev won 1-2 rounds max. So with the KD in round 2...close fight.

Ward won the championship rounds and won like 4-5 rounds in a row down the stretch. Not hard to see how Ward wins this fight at all. Stunned so many people are crying otherwise

I seriously couldn't give Kovalev a round after the 4th round

Ledderman is the same dumbass that had Mayweather-Hatton a close fight before the stoppage

Fcuk those guys
