      He made himself look like an idiot.

        The two aren't mutually exclusive. Something can be close but still be a clear victory for someone if you actually pay close enough attention to the fight and score it properly. Also, Stephen A. Smith knows plenty about boxing if you actually listen to him talk about it enough.

          I don't think it's a robbery per se, robberies are Chavez getting a draw against Pernell Whitaker for example, but I really don't see how anyone (Judges included) can only score 5 rounds to Kovalev... he won minimum 4 out of the first 6 rounds (I gave him 5 rounds), then he won maybe another 2 (Minimum)out of the last 6 rounds...

            A clear victory isn't close. This isn't basketball were talking here, boxing is subjective. A close fight can go either way so how can that equate to a robbery? An example of a robbery to me was Lara vs Williams.

              Fat Dan scored it wide for Kovalev. Twitter is a Kovalev love fest as well. It was an easy fight to score if you're honest. And I picked Ward to win.

                Not a hard fight so core.

                Kov won this guys. He'll get a rematch nd hopefullt land one of those hard right hands that Ward missed by liter ally a milla second

                  It can be. There doesn't have to be an inherent conflict between the two depending on how you viewed the fight.

                    Just because SAS says a lot of ****** things doesn't mean he isn't right once in a while. Even a broken clock is right twice a day they say. I had Kovalev up on the cards by a decent margin.
