Comments Thread For: Arum: Sergey Kovalev Request For Neutral Judges is Ridiculous!

[Derranged]

I'm a fan of Kovalev and I think he won the first fight but making such a request is ******. Just get in there and do the best you can.

[Shadoww702]

The guy that the vast majority had winning, but got handed a loss to the American fighter thanks to 3 American judges asking for fair and neutral judges?

Yeah, completely ridiculous...

Sounds like you already have your excuse typed up, sealed in an envelope, and ready to send out before the rematch is even here???

75% of boxing media scored it to Kovalev
25% of boxing media scored it to Ward.

How much more clear do you want? On top of that he dropped him. Even your boy Fraud called "a spade a spade" for once.

On the evidence of the first bout, and taking into consideration Roc Nation are lead promoter with Ward the "champion", the only way Kovalev can beat Ward is to knock him out.

Reaching. What difference does roc nation leading promotion make, if they got "robbed" when duva led?

75% of media are not judges, only judges count.

If kov is gonna end wards career and destroy him, then why is he whining over judges. He's talked so big and bad, but this is a sign of his true mentality. He knows he won't win a decision because he's not good enough.

The majority of boxing media had it a very close fight that could have gone either way.

It wasn't clear at all.

Vast majority is a bit strong, but he should be accountable. The guy who admits he should have been in better shape and gave away rounds late in the fight has things he can control to worry about.

no issues with kov fans thinking he won but why are they acting as if it wasnt close???? they yell robbery as if it wasnt close n ward did nothing or serg dominated the whole fight

[elfag]

I guess so??? What is REALLY odd is the clowns screaming robbery told me they had Kovalov winning 7 rounds to 5??? I expected their scores to be like 10 rounds to 2. Or some RIDICULOUS 15 rounds to 1 since they can't add for SHT! One of those DOPES had Kovalov winning 7 rounds to 5 BUT with a score of 115-113???

I saw ZERO robberies. It was a close fight. For the record I had it 7-5 (115-112) for Kovalov.

Kovalov CLEARLY won rounds 1,2,4,5,6

Ward CLEARLY WON rounds 7,8,9,11,12

3 and 10 were toss ups. Round 3 Kovalov missed a whole SHT ton of punches and was swinging for the fences trying to finish what he did in round 2. He landed a TOTAL of 4 punches for a connect rate of 14.8%.

Round 10 Ward won the 1st minute. Kovalov the 2nd. the 3rd was close but I gave it to KOV so he won 2/3 minutes. BUT that round Ward gave Kovalov a bloody nose so people though visually Ward won the round.

I have ZERO problems with either guy winning but like you I cant stand DUMB ***S calling CLOSE fights robberies...

115-113 doesnt make sense. There is a 10-8 round for Kov. It would be 115-112 for a 7-5 win for Kov.

6-6 would still be 114-113 for Kov

Ward needs atleast 7 rounds to get 114-113 and win over Kov.

[HanzGruber]

Sergio needs to know his role and shut his damn mouth

[ruedboy]

If they were fighting in Russia, with a Russian ref and three Russian judges and Ward asked for neutral judges would that be "ridiculous".
It's not that American judges can't be neutral, its the fact that 3 US judges just doesn't look good, especially outside the US.

I know 115-113 makes ZERO sense but some Kovalov fan posted that. NOT me...

KOv 115-112 was my score but I gave KOvalov the 2 close rounds.

You give round 3 to Ward since Kovalov only landed 4 punches at a TERRIBLE 14% connect rate

KOV 114-113

Round 10 was super close but Ward drew blood so I can see ppl give him that round.

KOv 113-114
