59-54 kovalev so far


7-in the first minute of the seventh nothing happened, nothing at all. then ward starts to land with the jab, snaps kova's head a couple of times. grabs and tries to work his body. lands 3 or 4 punches, that the HBO guys praises but kovalev also lands in the inside too. they exchange rabbit punches, kovalev rocks him with a straight left hand. seventh round for ward. this is the first round that i trully see ward winning.


8-first 30 seconds of the 8th is only wrestling, nothing happens for both. nothing happens in the next 30 seconds. so in the first minute is more wrestling, ward lande a couple of body shots and kova to the head a couple in the clinch. ward keeps punching while byrd tries to break them. the next minute the most meaningull thing are 3 jabs to the body and left hand to the chin for ward. ward ends the round with 3 good body shots. this wrestling is getting very boring. another for ward

9-first 30 seconds, more wrestling they both land body shots in the clinch. they break. they both exchange jabs to the body, kovalev lands a right hand over ward's shoulder. ward in returns lands another jab upstairs. kovalev lands a couple of left hands, they land flush, wards tieds up kovalev push him away. best punch for ward is a right to the body kovalev returns with a two punch combination. kovalev with another right hand. ward breathing with his mouth open. kovalev ends the round with a good combination. round for kovalev

10-nothing happens in the first 30 seconds, ward rushes in kovalev pushes him away and more wrestling. in the next 30 seconds, a couple of jabs for kovalev, ward mises badly with a left hook. they trade a couple of jabs upstairs, they both land. in the inside they both land kova upstairs, ward with more low blows that body shots. kova counters ward big time with a straight right hand. they both trade jabs upstairs and land. kova ends the round with another right hand. and another round for kovalev.

HBO and hunter keep saying kovalev is tired but to me ward looks more tired than him even though kova does look tired, the only positive thing for ward in this round is that sergey was bleeding trough the nose (i didn't notice if the bleeding started in an earlier round) also at this point max and roy are insufferable, my god get ward's dick out your mouths

11-nothing happens in the first minute aside a couple of low blows from ward, byrd warns him. ward lands a jab that pops sergey's head back and follows with a left to the body. they both trade left jabs upstairs and land. kova hurts ward with a right hand with one minute 15 left in the round. another right hand. andre follows with a left to the body and left to the head that backs kovalev down, sergey takes ward's punches way better than ward takes his. good jab by ward, good jab by kovalev. ward literaly running away from sergey right now. andre pushes ward down to the canvas. ward closes the round with a good jab, snaps sergey's head back. close round for ward

12-ward starts the round with a good left hook. another good left hook by ward in the first 30 seconds of the final round. jab to the body and right upstairs for ward. kovalev responds with a good lef hook, backs andre dow. now ward pushes foward, land a couple of punches and they wrestle some more, rabbit punches by both fighters. they clinch, ward lands a left to the head and kovalev follows up with a couple of body shots. ward responds with a left to the body of his own. and kovalev again with a body shot. low blow by kovalev. close round but ward edges with a couple of good body shots at the end. round for ward.

115-112 for kovalev.

First off, Ward's face against Kovalev looked the same way it did against Barerra. I guess he lost that too?

Secondly, I'll give you round 6, but if you gave Kovalev rounds 9 & 10, you guys are smoking some serious crack.

Ward clearly won 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. Rounds 3 and 4 split between the two, with Kovalev clearly winning the first two rounds.

114-113 Ward

[IFightDirty]

I personally scored the fight 114-113 for Kovalev. I thought it was a close fight with some swing rounds that could have made the score a comfortable win for Kov or a tight win for Ward. If I gave all the swing rounds for Kov I'd get 115-112 and if I gave them all to Ward Id get 114-113. Kovalev won most of his rounds more convincingly than Ward won his.

I was impressed with both fighters. Kovalev showed a wonderful jab and that he can keep up with someone as skilled as Ward. Ward impressed me by showing grit and hanging in there when the going got tough. Showed a lot of heart.

Overall Im okay with the decision, would have been better if one of the judges had at least scored it for Kovalev or a draw to make it a SD or MD. Either way it was a great fight that actually lived up to the hype which doesn't happen often. Needs a rematch.

Final score 116 - 113 Ward. If one the the even rounds go to Kovalev, the 4th round may be, it 114- 115 for Ward.

In my opinion it's very strange that the judges do not score a single even 10 - 10 points round.

But anyway, Ward got the match with more consistent game. Kovalev, IMO, got only 3 out of 12 rounds decisively.
