I need a poo.

feel free to **** on andre ward.

Freedom, you are way too obsessed with race. Like, legitimately obsessed.

I'm surprised this number is only 73%.

I'm 3 viewings of the fight in, and I just don't see how Ward won it. Good fight. Relatively close fight. But Kovalev won it.

Props to Doug Fischer and Roy Jones for not being racist.

Thanks for being fair.

Bias. Just when you think certain commentators/journos are unbias, you hear them say "great jab by ward" whilst in the same exchange of punches Ward gets hit twice.

It was one of those fights that you don't even need to watch a replay.. It was that clear a victory for Kovalev. ...and now by watching a replay you kind of put yourself in a position with bias glasses on which make you look for "reasons" to give it to ward.

And boxing goes on, like Floyd with Castillo loss, nobody will mention Wards loss to Kovalev in 2 or 3 fights time.

I think the ref is getting the blame by association but he did a good job. He let Kovalev and ward work on the inside, even though ward was getting beat up lol

He also warned both guys for rabbit punches and holding and pushing. He warned Kovalev for grabbing ward's neck but also warned ward for ducking low.

He reffed well but he won't get the credit.

People are complaining about the ref?

Max Kellerman was very biased in favor of Ward. He's very predictable.

I thought Kovalev was robbed, and I let Twitter’s boxing community know it. Now I’ve got all these amateur judges giving me their take on what they called a “close fight that either man could have won.” Bulls__t. If Ward was the defending champion and he dropped Kovalev and dominated as much as the Russian did over the first six rounds, there’s no way in hell he would have lost a decision – especially as competitive as the second half was – NO WAY IN HELL. But Vegas is worse than hell, and Burt Clements, Glen Trowbridge and John McKaie should be ashamed of themselves.

The manner in which the Maurice Hooker-Darleys Perez and Kovalev-Ward fights were scored sent this message to all foreign boxers who fight on American soil: The U.S. boxer will get the benefit of EVERY doubt, and will win every round that is even remotely competitive, and if you do not knock the U.S. boxer out you will NOT win the fight.

I strongly favored Carl Frampton to once again outbox and outclass Leo Santa Cruz in their January rematch, but now I’m concerned about Frampton’s chances due to the return bout taking place in Las Vegas. I have an awful feeling that the Powers That Be are going to steal back that WBA featherweight title. By the way, I thought Kovalev won Round 10.

I wanted to rewatch it before I made a comment.

I genuinely can't see how Ward won neither.
