america does not care about ward.
has nothing to do with nationalism. it was a very close fight. could have gone either way. kovalev's rounds were more decisive than ward's rounds. but if you preferred ward's work and gave him most of the close rounds, you ended up having him winning.

Al Bernstein's take on Kovalev-Ward
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."

I scored the fight 114-113 Ward, like the judges, and it's evident as hell you are just trying to score while focusing only on what Ward does. People like you should just stop scoring cause it's clear as hell you let your bias control you.
After the 4th round, ward controlled the fight just how I had it
