Al Bernstein's take on Kovalev-ward

[Dean_Razorback]

"Observations on tonight's fight. 1. Andre Ward showed he is a terrific fighter by coming back to be competitive after a very rocky first 4 rounds. 2. I picked Ward to win this fight and I was wrong. He lost, even tho the judges say otherwise. 3. two of the judges had the first 4 rounds for Kovalev then scored only one more round for Sergey. Absurd to say he only won 1 of last 8 rounds. 4. The knockdown should have been the difference in this fight. IMO The BEST u can do for Andre is make it 6-6 in rounds That would be 114-113 for Kovalev. I could see giving Andre one of 1st 4 rds, but even then he would have to win 6 of last 8 to win decision.I just don't see that. Kellerman said this was not a bad decision just a controversial one. I disagree. Because of how hard it is to get to a Ward win with that knockdown and quick start for Kovalev, I would call this is a bad decision. 5. The fight itself was well fought and very interesting. Not a fight of yr. candidate but a very, very good fight."

what do you think?

agreed. kovalev won even if u considered it close. the close fight absolutely favored kovalev. ward is not a legit champion.

[Simurgh]

Agree. Kovalev clearly won the fight by small margin.

Exactly how I saw it. Check my sig to see how deluded these f@gs are.

[GMAN SUPREME]

I agree to disagree. If you have Ward winning the third (close round but he won) he conceivably won the last 6 rounds in a wash. Close competitive rounds, but you could make an argument he won them. The KD means nothing when you can still win a fight with 7 rounds.

A wash? Lol


If you're so confident in that, do you care to tell us why/how exactly Ward won rounds 10 and 12? Because those decided the fight, and if you rewatch it I think it's pretty clear Kovalev won those rounds

That's only if you're biased and scoring every single close round for ward. That's the only way you get ward winning that fight by being biased.

I respect his opinion but at the end oft he say, that's all it is . Another opinion.

black fans are the most comically biased of all the demographics who support this "sport".
