      "Most respected Boxing analyst gave the fight to Ward." - Redd Foxx.
      It just makes me laugh.

        Same thing I took from this, Kovalev won 3 rounds

        Kovalev won that fight, plain and simple. Anywhere but America, the correct winner would have got the decision.

          I like Paul Smith, but it does often appear that he has his scorecards filled out before a fight, depending on the fighter.

            I rewatched it, and to me, you can't give a single round to Ward before the 6th(the first round I gave to Ward.
            Kovalev clearly outpunched him with his jab and right hand, those jabs were poping hard on Ward's face.

            So Ward needed to win the last 7 rounds wich didn't happen IMO.

            All I need to know is Kovalev won the 12th IMO and so I think as a champion, Kova got robbed.

            I'm not calling it "a could have gone either" anymore but more a "hometown decision" as that old fart of Merchant said.

            Ward was beaten physically through the whole fight and was quite uneffective.

            Still a close fight, but Kova is a clear winner IMO.

                  You gave ward the 6th of all rounds? Of course you can give him rounds before then. 3 and 5 were his. Nobody gave him the 6th

                    No way Ward is winning the 3th...or just rewatch it.
