I've watched enough boxing to know a fighter can't depend on a fair deal from refs or judges but it was hard to see a champ lose his titles in a fight where he threw more punches, landed more, had the challenger down once and stunned a few times.
Every time Ward touched Kovalev the crowd went nuts and the biggest cheer of the night came when the Russian slipped into the ropes sans punch. smh
I don't think the pro Ward crowd hurt Andre too much on the scorecard.
Kovalev dominated the first 6 rounds (has Ward ever looked worse?) The final 6 rounds were about even.
I had the fight 7-5 Kovalev and I was being charitable to Ward. I'm looking forward to #2 but without a KO, I'm resigned to a repeat of #1. No expectations = no disappointments. lol
