I just did a card with comments after watching the replay broadcast. Wide awake and found myself changing one of the rounds to a draw. Here is mine with notes:
Round 1 - Kovalev takes control of centre ring. Ward tentative with jab, holds up close. Kovalev power jabs. 10-9 Kov
Round 2 - Once again, Kovalev takes centre ring. Ward tries out a few left hooks. More holding. Power jabs. Right hand. Knock down. 10-8 Kov
Round 3 - Ward looking to get through this round. Lands up close and Kovalev looks a little wary for some reason. Still manages a three punch combo. 10-9 Kov
round 4 - Kovalev claims centre ring again but Ward leaps in with a solid left hook. Kovalev’s activity is down. Ward lands a couple of good body shots too. 10-9 Ward
Round 5 - Ward tries to be more positive but is getting beaten to the punch, he is also being out jabbed and outworked on the inside. Ward leaps and misses with left hook. Best round for Kovalev without a knock down. 10-9 Kov.
Round 6 - Kovalev’s activity is down again but Ward isn’t doing much. Trying to lure Kovalev into traps against the ropes but still can’t catch him clean. Both men start slow but Kovalev finishes better. Once again out doing Ward on the outside and up close. 10-9 Kov
Round 7 - Ward tries to start more aggressively. Gets pushed back by the stronger Kovalev. Ward actually manages to land a left hook and then some solid shots to the body. Good round for him. 10-9 Ward
Round 8 - Kovalev isn’t messing around. Possibly a second wind. Lands double jabs, snaps Wards head back. Ward also jabs but not nearly as strong or as consistent. Tries to move across the ropes but ends up running. Kovalev lands left hook to body. Easy one to score. 10-9 Kov.
Round 9 - From easy round to toughest round. Ward is making Kovalev miss and starting to showboat but doesn’t land anything of substance. Kovalev breathing heavy and also showboats. Lands a jab, Ward lands a left hook. Even. 10-10
Round 10 - Kovalev starts off like he did in rounds 1 and 2 and claims centre ring. Lots of ducking and grappling from Ward but Kovalev landing the better inside punches. He also out jabs Ward from the outside for the umpteenth time. Ward manages to finish with a left hook and a sharp upper cut. 10-9 Kov
Round 11 - Kovalev treks forward but doesn’t do anything. Ward is back peddling and throws some left hooks. Misses each time. Manages some shots on the inside and for the first time in the fight looks stronger on the inside. Body work wins him the round. First really good round for Ward. 10-9 Ward.
Round 12 - Ward is pot shotting an increasingly slow Kovalev. Left, left, right from Ward. Kovalev doesn’t mind, those punches don’t hurt him. He misses with his own offense, however managed to tie Ward up, push him against the ropes and swing his forearms into the body. Ward wins the round on accuracy and slightly better activity. 10-9 Ward.
116-112

Why is it that people always say they watched it a bunch more times, like that gives their opinion more authority. I mean where's the line between that and spoons slow mo videos?

Remember I've just watched the fight and round 5, outside of the KD, was the best round for Kovalev where he was landing 3 punch combos on Ward.
I want a breakdown in notes of those 3 rounds, like I provided.
Thanks.

Rounds 3,5,7,8,9,11,12 for Ward and 1,2,4,6,10 for Kovalev. My score after watching it a second and third time was 114-113.
I feel rounds 3,5,6 and 12 were the swing rounds..... Ward literally stole round 12 in the last 10 or 15 seconds and that was the decider. There was no clear winner in my opinion and Kovalev, for me at least, did not do much in the second half and the few power shots he landed didn't have the effect.

i dont tick rounds off as i watch it so i cant remember what rounds i scored for both. But from watching it first time around, i had kovalev up by 3, im **** with maths and i score two of the rounds as even so dont know what score it ends up as. i think i could make a case for a draw giving ward heavy heavy benefit on every close round but there was no way i could give it to ward, just didnt do enough offensively for me, very few solid shots he landed
