I thought Ward would school this guy, I was wrong, I watched the whole fight. I didn't score it round by round but when the fight ended I was tired and shut it off and went to bed before the decision was read, thinking my guy lost. I was expecting to read Kovalez retains title in decision this morning.
Wrong Again.
Been a Ward fan for a long time but I thought Kovalez won this.Last edited by Stebs; 11-20-2016, 08:00 AM.

You win a fight with clean punching, effective aggression, ring generalship, and defense. Ward landed clear blows more often. A lot of Kovalev's aggression was largely ineffective. Ward was able to control the pace of the fight more often than Kovalev. Both displayed good defense. But, Kovalev's connect percentage was in the 20s, and Ward landed at a better connect rate. It was a good fight. Could have gone either way. But I don't see how anybody could say this was a robbery. Especially Ward only winning by a point on all the cards

There is no way IMO that GGG would of beat Ward. Good thing he never took the fight or that 0 would of been gone for GGG.

that would have been a horrible match-up for him, and EVERYONE with a clue knew it..... his team were smart, they didn't need to take that fight
it is their bullshht, and the ******ity of their fans, that get to me
it is about styles
truth be known I think that Golovkin could have success at 168 if they match him right, and if he is as good as they say..... I think he would have beaten Abraham, and would also likely beat Groves/Jack - although they would be good fights - but Degale/Dirrell and possibly Ramirez could be tough for him
the best path for him at 168 is to hope Jack beats Degale

you have to give each fighter 3 definitive, clearly won rounds. So thats 3-3
the other 6 were close. The punches landed were close as well, so its a stretch to call it a robbery. I felt Kovalev did win and Ward did not win enough rounds. Better off being a draw than take the belts away from the champion.
Kovalev gassed out like an old man, but thats great body work by Ward.
If I was a referee I would also take points away from Ward for elbowing and excessive holding. Tired of the "thats strategy" excuse. Boxing is boxing. Its time we stop allowing this nonsense in our sport and leave that in MMA.

I had it ward 118-111. Easy fight. Kov was doing the holding. great defense by ward and he landed the more meaningful punches
