yep. i agree. 115-112 kovalev

Props for your honesty.

Any scorecard from 117-110 for Kovalev to 115-112 for Sergey is okay.

Ward did NOT win that fight.

Another typical anti-Ward thread by Freedom. Glad to see nothings changed.

Best thread about this fight.

Yesterday boxing lost, another time...

Yes.

After seeing the two robberies, people will be reluctant to buy another boxing PPV.

I can not understand how a real fan of boxing can celebrate that Ward did, it's just crazy to celebrate that garbage, and I love guys like Floyd or Rigondeaux, but this **** of Ward was horrible.

The only sport in the world that rewards mediocrity and the fans too, is boxing. Ward is a dirty guy and he lost yesterday.

ward is the new tbe and he will end up being better than the old tbe.....deal with it!

i went into the fight unbiased. im pretty sure ward won. kovalev was insane with accuracy and power for 2 rounds. after that knockdown ward kicked it into overdrive and struggled a bit but definitely won every round from 5 and on. you can make a case for ward losing the 3rd and 4th but everything after that was ward dictating the pace and landing cleaner punches. so if you give kovelev round 1-4 plus knockdown that still leeaves it ward 7 rounds to kovalev's 4+kd.

You are blinded by your love for Ward.

You are blinded by your love for Ward.

sorry i jsut became a fan yesturday.

the rounds did look pretty close but i saw ward landing the more effective shots. in a perfect world kov would of kept his belt as i think it really wasnt enough to take it away from the champ. i think in order to get the title you have to decisively beat the champ and he didnt do that. he squeezed by round after round but obviously (if your **** about things and look at the cleaner more effective punches) won the rounds to anyone that has boxed in there life.

Lot of whining going around here. Ward wins a close competitive fight and a "certain demographic" does what they always do. Discredit a fighter's hard earned victory.
