    If Kovalev gets robbed again, I won't follow boxing anymore

    A sport needs honest officiating to be legitimate.

    If Kovalev loses fairly, I'll still follow the sport.

    But if he loses because the ref permits Ward to use illegal tactics like deliberate head butts, or because the judges are corrupt, then I'm no longer going to follow the sport of boxing.

    Yes. A sport needs to have fair officiating.

    No, as long as the boxers I'm a fan of are the ones favored by the officials.

    Don't worry. Ward's body attack will slow down KOV and Ward takes it 116-112.

            Yeah man it'll be super gay if he gets another gift. There should be a 3rd fight either way cos Kovalev won the first obviously.

              Im gonna be honest, i thought ward would win the first time and you can even dig up posts of me saying he would school kovalev lol. But that last fight showed me he is overrated, i thought for sure he lost and was legit surprised when they gave him the decision.

              Yes sport needs to be fair.

                  He's been a very privileged boxer from the beginning of his career.

                  - He's always been permitted to use illegal tactics like head butts and excessive arm-clamping other boxers would be deducted points or disqualified for.

                  - The judges bailed him out when he deserved to lose Kovalev-Ward I.

                  - He received home advantage for all his Super Six fights.

                  - He received a job as commentator with HBO even though he has no talent for it (he's very predictable and boring).
