Comments Thread For: Ward: You Have to Tip Your Hat to Judges of First Kovalev Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Now that Andre Ward and his trainer, Virgil Hunter, have watched his fight against Sergey Kovalev numerous times, they feel the same way they did the night of November 19. They're certain Ward won at least seven of the 12 rounds he boxed against Kovalev, who Ward beat by unanimous decision in their light heavyweight title fight. Each of the three judges Nevada's Burt Clements, New York's John McKaie and Nevada's Glenn Trowbridge scored Ward-Kovalev exactly that way, seven rounds to five for Ward (114-113), minus one point from Ward for the knockdown Kovalev scored in the second round.

I hope he tipped them more than that after the service they have him

..... in this particular fight, you had people coming out of their lanes. You have announcers that all of a sudden they’re better than the judges. You have writers who are judges, all of a sudden. And they never signed up or sat ringside and judged a fight in their life. But all of a sudden they’re experts.....

The judges were fair and they made the right decision

So, what he's saying here is that you'd have to be an expert with scoring experience to see how he won the fight. Because to the untrained eye, it seemed Kovalev won

Yeah sure... Fair... All three giving round 10 to Ward was their masterpiece in fairness. I'm sure team Ward tipped them more than just a hat.

I like the part when Hunter calls out the media for 'coming out of their lanes' , if they scored the fight for Kovalev.

But then praises and name checks SKY Sports for scoring it for Ward. Those guys are ok to 'come out of their lanes'. Because they didn't score it for Kovalev.

Saturday night will end the controversy.
