  • More fair round by round coverage by USA today (Kovalev-Ward)

    They gave the 3rd and 5th to Ward, but also the 10th and 12th to Kovalev. They saw Kovalev winning 114-113.

    You can see they are not biased towards Kovalev, at one point they say "Ward is amazing" something they don't say even in Kovalev best rounds.

    I also think many people gave Ward the third round because he "didn't look as bad than in the previous two" but still I feel he lost that round, though it was close. So you could have it 115-112 if you give that one to Kovalev.

    To me, round 10 is the biggest one

      you just said right there that it's either 114-113 or 115-112 Kovalev, so how can that be a robbery, it was clearly close

        How do we go from 7-5 or 6-6 to 5-7? you'd expect it to be at least and SD or MJ, not UD. Most people saw Kov win yet the close fight for some reason ends up going to Ward. Yes, close fight, but the edge was for Kovalev, so it's strange how it ended up going to Ward.

          All it takes is US today to give Ward round 12 which more people than not think he won and Ward wins on their card.

          It was a close fight that could have gone either way.

            And all it takes is to give Kovalev round 3 which most people think he won and even giving round 12 to Ward it's still a victory for Kovalev.

              Scorecard average from 302 fans



              Round 3 was a very close round with people split on who won.

                73% of boxing analysts saw Kovalev win.

                200 fans using an app can't know more than them.

                  I could make a list of analysts that shows it the other way. Not hard to to get the result you want by picking and choosing who's on the list.

                  Nobody picked and chose the 300 fans that logged on to the app and scored the fight.

                    Most people on here gave Ward round 3 AND 12, so did I.
