Good thread. I frequently a fan of the underdog so I'm often rooting for the guy who loses and I've grown accustomed to not being biased in my judging or getting emotionally wrapped up in the result.

There are close fights and there are robberies. I saw enough close rounds that I respect those who saw it for Kovalev. I don't respect those who refuse to see how Ward could have won. You don't have to agree with the judges to see the potential for Ward to win.

A fight doesn't have to be a whitewash to be a robbery. It was a close but very clear win for Kovalev.

Clear win? I didn't see Kovalev win 6 clear rounds.

Which 6 rounds were clear Kovalev rounds that couldn't possibly be given to Ward?

Somehave I find it hard to believe that anyone that actually saw the fight, believes Ward won.

If anything I was surprised have dominating Kovalev was, because i was expecting ward to win.

Kovalev pressed the action, outgunned ward, and not only rattled him and knocked him down, he even beat ward in the insight game by nailing ward coming in and the lock wards arms.

Wasn't a robbery at all

Kov started off in a dominating fashion and as the fight went on became less and less effective

Great close fight and could have gone either way but Ward won
