Anyone watch the Mexican broadcast? They usually have some interesting Mexican boxers as commentators.

Tony Bellew

I had the same score as Macklin.. 114-114. Bias? 🤔It was a really close fight and being totally truthful it could of went either way imo. https://t.co/JWqXKnfvdO

Chris Eubank JR

Did they really just give that fight to Andre Ward? Well if Trump can win the presidency then anything is possible these days #KovalevWard

Andy Lee

Good fight, close fight and for what it's worth, I had Ward winning by a round or two.

Matthew Macklin

@steveucnlive I had it 115-113 Ward but was very close. Lots of very close, scrappy rounds

Sergio Mora

Many feel Kovalev (the champion) got robbed last night. I feel Ward patiently snatched the victory away.

If you think this fight was a draw than you can't be mad that it went wards way because your admitting it was close #KovalevWard

Post whatever other reactions you find, and I'll update. Pro-Ward, Pro-Kovalev, neutral, or whatever.

Ward wins a close one 114-113! #KovalevWard

— Lennox Lewis (@LennoxLewis) November 20, 2016

You could argue either way, I thought Ward came back and at least made it a draw, so rematch is fair i think ... https://t.co/DdJvep7Y0g

113-116 - Ward imo. Hard fight to score! Hats off to both. A chess match.

Какими бы мы ни были знаменитыми в Америке для них мы всегда будем Гостями... Сергей Ковалев… https://t.co/dxhhRDOa2E

Google translation: Whatever we may be famous in America for, we will always be guests ... Sergei Kovalev won the fight!

[Zaroku]

I had it a draw, but Jhonny insists Ward won by 2 points. While I go to work, I put on a boxing playlist and he watches, naps, watches, eats, craps, and watches.

[WarMaidana]

All these guys calling for a draw - Get a calculator...

no doubt... draw aint possible with the knockdown unless there was a 10-8 round for ward or a draw round scored in there

That beer I just sent you, share it with Jhonny and tell him "cheers!". I'm going to see if I can get him an audition to replace Ledderman.

[DoktorSleepless]

Good thread.

Interested to hear from the likes of Hopkins, Froch, Marquez etc.

Some people are still scoring 10-10 rounds probably.

[Bigg Rigg]

Ward needed 8 rds to win the fight. He didn't win 8 rds. He didn't win 7 rds either. 6-6 at best in rds and the knockdown gives it to Sergey.
