Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: I Won't Apologize For The Decision - I Earned It!

[shoog]

the absence of justice in this sport is a foregone conclusion. it wont take away from wards bravery or kovalevs superiority, it was a wonderful fight. but my eyes have seen the truth.

[Pocket Dogs!]

Why should he apologize? He's not a judge. This is like when those crazy Pacfans began ripping on Bradley after his first fight with Pac. Don't blame the fighter, blame the judges.

Well done ward. Now give kov rematch like PAC jmm. If kov loses next fight controversially then a third fight until yiou beat him with no controversy.

I'm not sure if true but srl said when you lose the boixer knoiws it. Is ward just trying to kid himself? Because I believe kov believes it wbhen he says he won 9 rounds.

He dont need too, I guess this is getting to him as many believe he lost. Better give Kova the rematch and beat him clearly or be told he lost to kova over and over. If he believes in himself he should be able to beat kovalev clearly on the rematch.

if Kova is such a beast he should have finished him ...

Yeah, nothing but respect for Andre's performance, I didn't think he did enough, but the guy hauled himself back from being well down and put himself in the position that question could be asked. Ain't Dre's fault how the judges chose.

It's not Ward's fault for the judging. He's a grounded, decent guy. He really believes he won - he didn't. When judges continue to favour certain fighters and score them as they did in the KK fight, you only encourage them to continue to fight that way. KK showed Ward up for what he is, a very good, tough, fighter BUT NOT an ATG. Looking forward to the second fight.

The truth ... Ward is superior to the Krusher ... Kovalev was holding every time Ward got in close ... Kovalev's trainer said his fighter let of the gas I.e he got tired.

i gave ward rds 3,5,7,8,9,11,12 ..making it 115-113..minus 1pt for the KD makes it 114-113..it was the right decision. right man won, it was competitive throughout, no robbery, ward took over the fight after a rough start. .if it wasn't for excessive ILLEGAL headlocks from kovalev the margin of victory would've been wider because ward was gonna eat him alive in the pocket but kovalev was scared to engage the feather fisted ward.

why is it almost completely ignored by the robbery screaming snowflakes that a alot of well respected writers and observers had ward winning by exactly 114-113 before the score was written?

Really? How many times does he have to beat him to satisfy you ... I'm sure Ward is sleeping fine ... Its Kovalev, Duva, Merchant, and the throngs of followers that is butt hurt over the scoring. You shouldn't call this a controversy ... you should call it a different opinion ... Isn't it the Krusher's fault for letting Ward back in the fight ... why didn't he finish him in the second or third ... he's like those football teams that let the kicker decide the game w/ 3 seconds left on the clock ... if Kovalev was the man HE wouldn't let it go to the scorecards BUT he couldn't do it SO he has that big L on his record.
