"How can a champion to go to another country and box with four officials, who hail from the country of the boxer who is the challenger?

Am I missing something? Kovalev has fought most of his career in America. He's based in America. He's fought in Vegas more times than Ward. He has an agreement with MGM. Kovalev is an American fighter like GGG. And the WBC had nothing to do with this fight......

all this anti american crap would make more sense if this was sergeys first fight on U.S. soil. .

Suliman needs to mind his damn business. This fight had nothing to do with him or the belt Adonis is holding hostage!

Lol at Ward fans trying to convince themselves (and others) of this not being a home cooking set-up. The guy barely speak english...

Like having 3 vegas judges in a fight held in vegas is even unusual. Cry me a river Sulaiman.

Wait just a minute. It was Team Kovalev; Kathy Duva's Main Events to be exact, who helped chose the venue and the Nevada officials, because they are an American based boxing promotional company, who just so happens to work for a Russian/Eastern European bloc fighter out of the state of New Jersey.

This is just more excuses and copping out by Sergey's bias fan boys and sympathizers. Many of which include the president, of one of the most corrupt World governing bodies such as the WBC; For Kovalev's failure in taking care of business last Saturday night at the T-Mobile arena.

If anything the deck was stacked against Andre Ward because more than 95 percent of the media and boxing fans alike, dislike and want to see him fail. Why you may ask, because he's an American and is considered by many as Floyd Mayweather, Jr's. Heir apparent to his former P4P throne?

Green K this man.

Green K this man.

Are you both idiots? What does who has fought more in Vegas have anything to do with it? Vegas is in America. Ward is an Olympic gold medalist. Ward is with Roc Nation which is part of the Illuminati, whatever you consider the Illuminati to be, they are connected.

But all of that may not even be what matters. What really matters is money and GGG-Kovalev, a fight between two Eastern Euros, may not sell in the U.S. But GGG-Ward at 168 if Ward "beats" Kovalev and GGG beats Canelo is a superfight.

So they could let Kovalev win, and keep grossing 5 million in pay-per-view sales, or they could rob it for Ward, and make 200 million on a superfight. Which do you think they wanted more lol?
