Comments Thread For: Sergey Kovalev Crushes Shabranskyy in Two, Wins WBO Title

[HarvardBlue]

Rocnation is the reason for the judging of the first fight and the reason Ward got paid more despite Kovalev being more of a draw. There was another 'robbery' earlier on in the card for the house guy.

That's just conspiracy theories for people who don't want to admit that their guy lost. The other "robbery" was overturned if I'm not mistaken. What happened, did the check bounce?

Weeks was atrocious in Kov/Ward 2 and a fight should never, ever be stopped after an illegitimate, illegal blow and if it is, then it's a DQ for whoever committed the fight ending foul or a No Contest.

The fight didn't end in a foul it ended when Kovalev sat on the ropes waiting for a intervention from the ref.

You all need to move on. Kovalev moved on and resumed his career with a mismatch KO win. Ward retired. That should make you happy.

It's not a conspiracy theory. Roc nation invested in ward and those judgs.

Boxing is the most corrupt sport in the world man, you know this

The whole thing was semi rigged

Good post, harwri...they can't move on though...Ward made them look foolish for YEEEAAARS, and they want some RETRIBUTION!

Too bad they can't get any...Ward retired on top and is untouchable...

LMAOO!! @ them.

You should gather your facts and evidence and petition the sanctioning body to launch an investigation.

So they half rigged it. Why not fully rig it? Were they trying to rig it in a discount.

This is actually funny and kind of sad at the same time.

People with lots of money had a vested interest in a ward victory. Hence the non low blow calls

I'm a fan of Ward, I wish he was still fighting. I don't like his cheating and dirty tactics but love his defensive techniques, just like I loved Hopkins. Also love that left jab/hook of his.

You asked about the 'conspiracy theory' and I told you. You seemed to post before like you had no idea why people were questioning the result. I told you it was due to Rocnation. I bet on Ward to win the first fight btw so was glad in a way when he got the nod even though I thought Kovalev won.

I didn't know the other 'robbery' was overturned, good to know if true.

The rematch ended in a foul pure and simple. Was the 'tko' shot a legal one? Answer is no, the fight ended on a foul. Kovalev sat on the ropes after he was fouled. Like I said the referee should have done his job, taken a point from Ward and given Kovalev time to recover from the illegal foul. Then maybe we would have seen a legitimate finish. Given Ward's nice right hand earlier in the round who knows.... maybe he would have been able to flatline Kovalev. That would have been an amazing end to his career rather than the farce we got.

I'm a fan of both guys and they are clearly very evenly matched from the two fights they had. I'd love it if Kovalev/Ward had 10 fights and I'd watch single every one.

Just because I like to see a referee do his job properly doesn't mean I'm a Ward hater.... I'm just a boxing fan who likes to see fight have proper conclusions. Try and drop your bias for a bit and view the fight from a neutral viewpoint. The referee did a terrible job and arguably cheated both fighters.

Very well put.

So the people backing Ward was more powerful than the people backing Kovalev. You're reaching bruh...

You have no proof Rocnation influenced the decision. You're grasping at straws and throwing out accusations you can't possible prove. I'm only entertaining this because it's comical to me.

OMG did he really say that??
