Watching a replay after a robbery doesn't do it justice as your mind is conditioned to try and find ways to give it to the guy who was gifted the win.
Leave the judging to the judges, because if you think Kovalev was 'way up' and it was 'a robbery' then I wouldn't trust you to score any fight.
Come on here say you thought it was close but you had Kovalev, for sure. There were a lot of close rounds.
But it's no robbery and you need to get over it.
At the end of the fight I genuinely thought Ward had sneaked it, but though Kov would get the decision for winning a few rounds more convincingly, plus the knock down. I was surprised to see Ward take the win for that reason. But I felt he had the momentum.
I think Ward is going to surprise a lot of people in the rematch.

I thought Ward stole a lot of those close rounds from Kovalev due to his inactivity. There was no sense of urgency in him; None whatsoever.
He appeared content on just simply coasting and carrying Andre to the finish line; This even happened when it was clearly established that he was the much stronger and bigger puncher of the two after dropping and hurting him several times.
The fact of the matter is, he simply blew it. I believe had Sergey been at least as twice as busy as Andre Ward in those later rounds he could have easily won that fight.

nah, he is saying that the casuals will see whatever they want to see, and the professionals were doing their job

I thought we were talking about professional sports writers and such (that scored the bout for Kovalev) rather than casuals. Further, are you saying that casuals are delusional, or even hallucinating, to see things that don't actually happen ("casuals will see whatever they want")? Or are you simply restating your original position that the casual observer won't see a Ward victory, and that it takes a professional boxing judge to see how he could have won?

Geez, unhinged section of the ballet I see. Maybe an intermission is overdue, eh? 'No way it was a bogus win for me, cuz all 3 judges had it the same. See. I proved it right there.'
Typical Olympic fighter thinking they're always gonna win... cuz ... reasons. Wow, is this idiot ever gonna look stupid when Kovalev puts his lights out this weekend.

But then praises and name checks SKY Sports for scoring it for Ward. Those guys are ok to 'come out of their lanes'. Because they didn't score it for Kovalev.
The problem I have with Hunter is despite lying and playing the devil advocate, he acts like he's a kind of semi god who hold the truth.
Also with Hunter, everybody is against Dre : HBO, medias, the people. They are the good ones and others devils.
That's funny because Ward is being pampered by medias and judges, just like any american fighter.
Proof is Dre being ranked P4P number 1 for fighting 3 bums and having a close fight with Kova in 5 years.
Then you have Hunter going all "leave Britney alooone".
