Controversial? Definitely. I personally have it 7-5 JLC but could see 6-6. Even though judges had it for Floyd I do not think it was a gift.
A gift/robbery is like Lara/Punisher, Swift/Herrera, Abril/Rios. Those are GIFTS because of ROBBERIES.
Close fights aren't GIFTS. When people say Ward got a GIFT against Kovalev I disagree. I personally saw Kovalev win the fight, but not by a large enough margin to warrant a ROBBERY. I had Kovy 114-113 (6-6 plus the KD). It could've even been 115-112 Kovy. That's 7-5. Not a ROBBERY, but definitely controversial.
Robbery and gift thrown around too much. Really takes away from the sport in my opinion
