I thought Harold Lederman's card was way off in this fight. IIRC he had Kovalev up 5-1.
To me, this was a pretty easy fight to judge. I had it 3-3, 1st 3 rounds to Alvarez, next 3 to Kovalev. I mean he was giving Kovalev rounds when he was clearly getting outjabbed, head being snapped back.
Definately Kovalev had the momentum, although he was tiring.
I just feel like a lot of people are saying Kovalev was "in command", and I didn't see that at all. Yes, Kovalev had a big 4th, but Alvarez was able to take the shots, never panicked, and answered back with shots of his own.
