        So the only real issue you have is the judges got the 10th wrong. That isn't a robbery.

        Did they get any other round wrong IYO?

          Kovalev clearly won round 10. for example. The judges, all 3 of them gave that round to ward, that speaks volumes to me, it show's that

          A) not only were they giving every single close(ish) round to ward.
          but B) they were giving clear kovalev rounds to Ward.

          So by your own definition of what you think a robbery is, it seemingly qualifies.

          People like to say ' a close fight isnt a robbery '

          That can be true and it can also be untrue IMO.
          Sorry but i'm not here to argue this with you so I won't address anything here. There are plenty threads discussing the outcome of the fight and this isn't one of them.

          It wasn't a robbery and the fact that you won't let that go shows me to just overlook any posts you make on the subject.

          If you can't stick to robberies which are unanimously agreed upon without making this an argument about a controversial decision then we are done here.

            Hooker-Perez was awful. Another was Marcus Browne over Radivoje Kalajdzic. Clearly a robbery.

            I'd say Kovalev-Ward. People say it was close and I had it 115-112, but given how many people though kovalev deserved the decision coupled with how built up this fight was and how many people saw it, it was a blow to boxing. Yes, it could be called close but in many people's eyes, a robbery is simply when the winner didn't get the verdict. And in this case, too many people felt like boxing screwed them over...yet again. I go with Kovalev-Ward.

              I have given what my personal definition of a robbery is, you have given your's, i countered with a few logical points to prove your definition equates this fight to be a robbery also.

              If you can't refute any of my points, that's fine.
              But don't reply with ' i wont reply but im replying anyway because i believe my word is final and i don't need logic or facts to back it up'

                Yes. This was awful. A clear case of favoring the hyped up fighter over another unbeaten fighter who has plenty of potential. If Browne had lost, he'd probably learned from it. Instead he was shown that as long as you have the promoters on your side, you can get by. Disgraceful.

                  Those two results really pissed me off don't get me wrong the Kovalev one annoyed me but I think both McDonnell and Sturm were both thoroughly dominated the entire fight even the commentary were dumbfounded by it, British commentary had Jamie losing need I say any more!?!?

                  I did also think Lebedev was mugged off, I mean he fought such a good fight with such a varied attack great combinations even though he got dropped the crooked judges had it a white wash.
                  Lebedev couldn't miss with his jab it would just pierce through Gassiev's non existent defense.

                      they didn't get it wrong on accident though. thats my point. they knew kov would win if they gave it to him so they didn't give it to him even though kov won the round with ease. hence corruption took place so im not sure why the official judges matter so much to ward fans when they clearly were in the bag for ward. wow the corrupt guys who wanted ward to win said ward won im shocked! they probably could have found a more subtle way to cheat for ward but they didn't. they gave themselves away with round 10. they wanted ward to win so they gave him the fight and rounds he clearly lost.
