Yeah.

I know you're a troll but no way in hell did Ward win the 10th, just watched that in HD.

Ward had zero answer for the jab and straight right.

Kov was landing every jab he threw in that round.

Ward had zero answer for the jab? What jab?

Kovalev hit air mist if the round. And when he did land it was when they EXCHANGED jabs

When Ward landed, he landed or do you think Kovalev was snapping his own head back?

Here it is again:


10. Ward 10-9 - Ward lands a blazing two punch combo and uppercut at 2:54 mark. Ward lands a body shot at 2:45. Kov lands a jab at 2:35 mark. They exchange jabs at 2:20. Ward lands a BIG overhand left at 2:10. Follows with two head snapping jabs at 1:51 and 1:48 mark. Kovalev responds by hitting air. They exchange jabs at 1:34. Ward with a nice jab to the body at 1:27. Ward with a HUGE check hook at 1:07 mark. They exchange overhand rights at the :49 second mark. Ward with a HUGE power jab at the :39 second mark, followed by a big overhand right to the kidney's at the :32 second mark. They exhange jabs at the :29 second mark. They exchange jabs at the :20 second mark. Kovalev lands air for the rest of the round

Anyone who gave 8+ rounds to either man should be ashamed of themselves.

This is true! lol. I've seen people (fanboys) say that Kov didnt win anything after the 2nd round!

I personally had it 7-5 in favor of Kov or 6-6 which Kov still wins due to the KD.

To give the fight to Ward you'd have to give him every single 50/50 round that could have gone either way.

IMO rounds 3,4,5 were the possible swing rounds and I wouldn't argue with a close decision for Kovalev either, though on first viewing I gave Ward round 4 as well which would have made it 115-112. I didn't have trouble giving Ward everything from 6-12 with the exception of 10.

I think the main issue ppl have are exactly what you guys are doing , giving every "pickem" round to Ward , Kovalev gets all the obvious rounds and all the close rounds or pickem rounds go to Ward , its the definition of BIAS , no one is claiming Ward didn't win rounds or anything like that , but to give him ALL the close rounds is what makes it a BIASED decision , whats done is done lets wait for the rematch , but in boxing you need to TAKE the belts to win a title , and Ward most def didn't do enough to win the fight nor the titles , great fight between elites , but you guys are naive if you don't see the BIAS in the judging.

Giving ward rounds he won isnt bias. I scored the fight and even tried to give rounds to kov but couldnt because he didnt win them. There was alot of pickem rounds and ward just managed to edge them, i can say that you giving kov rounds is bias too lol. No bias here just scoring a fight the way i see it and judges did the same thats why its 114-113 ward. I really dont care who would have won since im a fan of both fighters but i think ward won.

[SN!PER]

The thing that pisses me off about this fight was all the holding... and those little punches to the body that are scoring only because they are tied up and there's no way to evade them.

The referee just let that happen over and over again. The punches count to the score, but there's no real skill involved, it's just a damn wrestling match with pitty pat punches to the side of the body.

If not for the KD, I'd have a draw on my score card..

1: 9-10, Kovalev
2: 8-10, Kovalev
3: 10-9, Ward
4: 9-10, Kovalev
5: 10-9, Ward
6: 9-10, Kovalev
7: 10-9, Ward
8: 10-9, Ward
9: 10-9, Ward
10: 9-10, Kovalev
11: 10-9, Ward
12: 10-9, Ward

I am aware that some of these rounds can be given to either fighter. It was a very close fight. If you watch it without scoring, it looks like Kova won, but when I watched it again and scored it, I had Ward winning.

[SCEN3RY]

lol, desperate measures. You'd have to give Ward 7 rounds to get a draw...like do you understand how much you'd have to reach in order to give him the victory? You'd have to be COMMITTED mentally to doing this to find those rounds...it's comical. Let's put this into perspective, Kovalev walked into the arena getting booed, at the end of the night it was Ward supporters booing Andre for the decision and cheering Kovalev. You'd have to be a blind supporter to find 8 rounds for Ward.

Round 1 - close round so I'll give it to Ward...throw him a bone from the jump cause I'm real polite like that (should be Kov's round tho)

Round 2 - 10-8 for Kovalev...maybe some of you are scoring this a draw...I know Ward makes clinching legal in boxing but he doesn't change ALL the rules.

Round 3 - Kovalev - easy

Round 4 - Kovalev - closer, but still

Round 5 - Ward - wins round with some shots to the body (Castillo did not know this kindness)

Round 6 - Kovalev - in case I haven't said it this month, Max Kellerman is useless.

Round 7 - Ward

Round 8 - Ward

Round 9 - I'll give this close round to Ward too since he's due for another bone. HBO not calling anything Kovalev doing right now....it's like they're committed to a certain idea in every round so they talk about it for the next 3 minutes, but Kovalev throwing combinations, landing solid shots...silence.

Round 10 - Kovalev

Round 11 - Ward

Round 12 - Kovalev

As you can see, I can't even give the fight a draw let alone give it to Ward. Ward got a nice Christmas gift...he's still a solid fighter.

Let's move on to the bigger issue in boxing; judges far too frequently favor their scoring on the guy expected to win - that's what's really worth being upset about. These hacks are looking for ways to justify somebodies persona...."this guy is expected to outbox this dude, so I must find a way to see it that way." It's a common human flaw to alter your perception of things to try to justify your own expectations. This is how young men get shot by prejudiced cops for reaching into their pocket, this is why people fear someone in a dark alley far more than they would that person in a crowd of others, and so on and so forth. These built up ideas make us flawed and easily persuaded. But these premeditated perceptions cannot have a place in your mind if you want to judge a fight fairly. The "boxer" that you wanted to win and you expected to win did not outbox the "slugger."
