    Biggest fix -- Ali vs. Liston 2. Biggest robbery -- Clay vs. Pietrzykowski on Olympic Games final (maybe not the biggest, but most sentimental).

            Ward-Kovalev 1 was the worst decision I have ever watched live

              Ward-Kovalev 1 looks nothing like a robbery when I rewatched it

                Amen. I was shocked when I scored it and had the same score as the judges because when I first watched it I felt that Kovalev won.

                  shocker! there is no way ward won 7 rounds in that fight. round 10 for example was kovs 2nd best round of the fight and all 3 judges gave it to ward. it was a mockery. most of wards "work" wasnt even legal. if you look at the rules wrestling and holding and hitting are not legal but even if we dont know the rules and compare wards illegal and legal work to kovalevs work he still lost and lost clearly. there is no reasonable way to say ward won that fight. especially on rewatch! i could understand someone being emotional in the moment and thinking maybe ward is doing enough...but upon rewatch...nope not even close.

                    list the 7 rounds ward won. thats simply not possible. there were 7 clear as day kovalev rounds. only 2 clear ward rounds. 3 other close rounds but still no possible way to have ward a winner in that one. im assuming you gave ward round 3 for example. he literally landed 2 jabs. kovalev landed a couple jabs of his own and buckled his legs with a left hook but im guessing you didnt see it because it landed on the opposite side the camera was on but you can clearly see it land if you pay close attention and you can see by wards reaction it hurt him. that one punch is much better than anything by far ward did in the round. there is no conceivable way to give ward that round/ this is one of those maybe in real time you would give it to ward if you missed that sequence but upon rewatch there are no excuses. which others?
