Hooker and Browne fights were bad decisions.

Ward vs Kovalev is'nt a robebry by any stretch of the imagination.

Did'nt see the McDonnel fight, so no clue.

But robbery of the year is clearly Strum getting the decision over Chudinov. Thats the worst ****ing scoring I've seen in a fight, from all three judges, in a very long time. That **** was down right criminal imo.

you have to have a pretty wild imagination to have ward winning. low blows and holding and hitting become body work even though rules say they are illegal. kov landing more doesn't matter....because something....kov landing the heavier punches doesnt matter because....something else subjective....etc...

Povetkin was hands down the worst of the year..he robbed the boxing world of not one BUT 2 damn fights due to his cheating ways

Walters up there with him, what a disgrace.

They were even talking **** on that fight on Drink Champs!

Hooker-Perez was a clear as day robbery

Ward-Kovalev was not an especially favorable decision

[Boxing Goat]

I can't see how Ward could have won after watching the fight several times trying to find rounds to give Ward to somehow come up with the scores the judges have. To me that's a robbery even if it wasn't what is considered a 'wide' robbery.

[Boxing Goat]

its not that they scored round 10 the same. its that it was an easy kovalev round that they gave to ward. the reason they gave it to ward is because it was late in the fight and they knew how many rounds they already gave to kovalev, and they also knew giving kov one more would give him the fight so they gave it to ward because they wanted him to win.

round 10 was prob one kov's best rounds yet they all gave it to ward. if round 10 was in the first half of the fight they all give it to kovalev without a doubt but because they knew ward was close to a win if they gave him all the remaining rounds even though he clearly lost 10. they let their bias guide their scorecard. thats garbage.

I agree with that easily being a Kovalev round but not sure if it was just judge incompetence or if they 'wanted Ward to win'. I just don't know. The only thing I do know is that Kovalev was the real winner, even though I picked Ward to win the fight before hand.

Kov/Ward because it was the highest profile match.

The Hooker win was really bad but on an unassuming under card.

Kov v Ward was main event and possibly for LHW superiority and they went and pulled a dirty trick like that. Horrendous.

[glenn mcrory]

Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward

Jamie McDonell vs Liborio Solis

Maurice Hooker vs Darleys Perez

Felix Sturm vs Fedor Chudinov

This really should be a multiple-choice(if it exists), theyre basically all equally horrid. while the Kovalev-Ward fight was the closest rounds wise, you can make an argument for it due to its importance. Otherwise, that Hooker-Perez decision was absolutely horrific. McDonell and Browne fights were pretty bad too. Sadly, par for the course, promoters simply defending their "goods".

[The Hammer]

Kov/Ward because it was the highest profile match.

Yes, it was the most significant fight for the sport of boxing.
