Comments Thread For: Kovalev vs. Ward - Scoring Cone Validates Tallies By Judges

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - In Florida, we call it the "cone of uncertainty." Whenever a hurricane clears the island of Hispaniola in the eastern Caribbean, meteorologists of every Sunshine State persuasion are sent scrambling to computer models to trace the path of the would-be storm as it approaches our tourist- and retiree-sopped peninsula...

The Don doesn't know **** about this cone nor does he care but he does know only one man deserved to walk out of the arena as champion and it wasn't Ward.

Was looking forward to Lyle to contributing a smart, down-to-earth article about this. Good read. Thanks.

Some people are trying very hard to rationalize and justify it, but the honest truth is that Sergey Kovalev was robbed of a deserved win.

Do you feel like applying your cone when considering that usually a challenger has to go in there and actually TAKE the belts from the champ, not pitty-pat, fight on the back foot and throw an occasional, well timed jab? This was a championship fight, the most important of the year, not some whatever scrap where you review rounds a dozen times to try justify some BS manufactured result.

So now CONES are going to be the new way to give an unjust win credibility based on a competitive fight ?

And what or how did this CONES theory justify the actual judges score cards after rnd 6? :wank:

The "Let's Penalize Punching" school of scoring

At least this writer admits he ignores the official scoring criteria in favour of his own personal fetish for "punch percentages".

According to this writer's standards, someone who throws one punch a round- and lands it!- would win by a landslide.

I can't agree with that. But at least now I can understand why he scored the fight for Ward.

It's re rediculous how far Ward apologist go to justify him winning

On a good day I'd give Ward 6 rounds. That dude didn't beat Kov, politics did.

In political science, we studied the impact of politics on international sports. Before this fight, many seen this as the Russian versus the American.

This was nothing short fav ****ing robbery, and everyone knows it, despite what they say. If they're honest with themselves, they know Kov beat the crap out of Ward, not in just number of rounds, plus physically beat him.

Ward looked every bit a man defeated when the bell rung.

Because he got his azz beat, it's not likely he'll be looking to quickly get back into the ring with Kov.

I kind of feel bad for you. Either you,re so biased that you really can't see how bad Ward got beat. Or you are bending over backwards cognitively justifying this robbery because it ****ing kills to know just how bad Ward got beat. I'm fine with either one, but it seems gonna be fun watching you al, bend over backwards again to justify why Ward is right to again insist the fight is in the US, and insist again that there are three American judges.

All the Ward apologist know it. Ward knew it. Hunter knew it. The crowd knew it.

The so called master boxer got out boxed by Kov, the Russian.

Ward gets the political win, but history doesn't give a damn about politics.
