anyone claiming ward vs kov was a robbery need to go to a workshop on scoring fights

[Redd Foxx]

Its clear he didn't watch the fight or score it lol

10-10 rounds can make a fight a draw with a kd

Hard to educate the butthurt lol

As I keep saying, people decided that Kovalev was going to win after the KD and they never opened their minds to the idea that Ward could come back. Ward's body language was not that of a winner either.
I thought Ward was gone but I kept fairly counting the rounds and at the end was in shock, he really did turn the fight around when you look at the actual content.

As far as the trolls here, they made up their mind before the fight. Did you see all the "robbery" threads over the last MONTH? Emotion overrides logic once again. Though I have no problem with those who see a close victory for Kovalev. There were enough swing rounds for that.

[Simurgh]

it was a toss up..both were in doubt bro...stop reaching for straws that arent there...the fight was a nailbiter

It was a toss up if you don't count a KD. With the KD no way Ward won it.

[hugh grant]

Ward lost the fight. You have to take the fight to the champ. Photo finishers aren't acceptable.

Many challengers throughout history didn't get the nod as they didn't di quite enough. Why ius ward being shown favouritism?

[juggernaut666]

Lol

You pulled a post from a totally unrelated thread

That thread was about are white fighters easier to promote

So America isn't and wasn't ran by white supremacist? Was there not a great white hope in every era? Gerry cooney, guys in the 1900s

Keep reaching bro

Kov lost fair n square

Many of you guys suffer from inferiority complex and hate seeing Latinos, Asians and blacks dominate a sport you guys didn't want us in in the first place lol

Deal with it

Im pretty sure that post relates to you accusing of someone else pulling a race card..something you are well known for BTW.

Deal with what ,you worm? The smarter boxing fans and inside guys think Ward lost,including the referee who was black I know that's important to you,and a something you cant point out to use,heaven knows what you would say if a white Ref said that)...

[Real King Kong]

liek the idiots claiming ward made no adjustments..."kov got tired doe!!!" kmsl

It was a combination of both really. Kovalev spent too much energy trying to muscle ward in the clinch. You could see as the fight wore on, ward was getting more work done in there and kovalev had a tougher time getting it to a stalemate so the ref would step in. No fault in ward for capitalizing on what he was given either...that's what he was supposed to do.

Make sure to scroll down to the bottom.

My HL-GIFs from rounds 3-8 will finish in the official thread : I left in a lot of grazing punches that will not count as clean so that these Kovalev Stands will not think Im doctoring the footage...but if you know boxing you can pick up on them in Slow-motion baby! UHHHH! I like it like dat!

[-PBP-]

What a great fight. I'm still on the edge of my seat. What we just witnessed shouldn't drown in the sea of tears.

[Golden Boi 360]

99% of people crying robbery on social media didn't score the fight, have never scored a fight, and if you asked them to score a fight on a 10-point must system, they wouldn't know what that is.

They view the fight as one big 36 minute round instead of 12 individual rounds that you then add up at the end to get a score.

Oh look we got a Badass over here claiming those who said it was a robbery doesn't know boxing! Damn RJJ is not a good boxing expert.

Alright smart boy, dispute the **** out of this, round by round, second by second, in the criteria of: Clean and effective punches, Ring generalship, momentum, AGRESSION, Defense, which all of Sergey did better than Ward. So disupute the **** of this then, don't say bull**** like "A lot of them were close rounds."

Round 1 - Kovalev and Ward was watching each other at the first minute of the round, Ward jabbing but not overreaching but landing some good jabs while Kov counters his own. Kov landed a stunning Jab and wobbles Ward, and proceeds to dominate the rest of the Round (10-9 KOV)
