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

He had Santa Cruz- Frampton even?? That kinda exposes that he not the best judge

I had that fight 115-113 for Frampton. What's so bad about having them even??? Frampton was wersing down in the last 2 rounds while Leo looked like he could go another 12. Anyone who had either fighter winning by more than 2-3 rounds filled their card out that morning.

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.

if that was true why did so many people have the exact score of 114-113 ward on twitter before the actual scores were read. this idea that u guys think ur right and no other argument or view point can also be right is honestly ridiculous. u guys cry robbery in every close fight ur fighter doesnt end up winning talk about crying wolf. this idea that theres no possible way ward won is laughable it was a close ass fight and alot of people saw ward winning.

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

Great article indeed.

That said, I applied this cone method to my card and Kovalev comes out on top all across the spectrum lol.

But I will be using this from now on, excellent method.

I thought Ward did enough to eek out a victory but I thought the scores favored Kovalev because of the KD. I wouldn't have been upset if the decision went the other way. The very fact that there are disagreements on this site proves this was not a clear victory for either side. Anyone claiming it was clear is simply showing their bias. As far as the arguement that Ward needed to do more to take the belts from the champion is ignoring the fact that this was Wards fight to lose. Ward is a decorated American fighting in his country against an opponent that is arguably less popular or well liked than himself. I'm sure some people ignored the fact that the cheers in the crowd was mostly for Ward except for after the decision when the Kovalev faithful hung around to boo during the interviews. With that being said this was nothing like Pernell Whitaker earning a draw in pro Mexico San Antonio or somewhat popular Timothy Bradley getting a gift against mega-star champion Pacquiao. The fight could have gone either way and it went Wards' way. Get over it and move on.

good call !

What confuses a lot of people, is the G n*t-huggers aren't saying it is a robbery because they thought it was a robbery. They say that because they can not get over Ward outing how scared G really is. Most of them probably didn't even see the fight. But Ward said ok, I'll fight, when G, Sanchez, and Loeffler threw his name out there and then G and his team said maybe in a couple years. There is no way to interpret that as anything, but G knowing he would lose so he ducked Ward. G's fans know how idiotic they sound when trying to say no really meant yes, apparently it was opposite day when Ward send the contract offer and G said no. Since they can't defend that, since they can't defend fighting Wade, since they cannot defend fighting someone two divisions lower, all they do is hate on Ward. Until G steps up and fights a top level opponent, these trolls will be here. Like when Pac got embarrassed by Floyd, they tried saying Pac got robbed for a little while, then when they realized no one was buying it they all simply disappeared. Did they kill themselves or just stop trolling? No one knows for sure, but 200k ppv suggest a lot of them did commit suicide. Floyd beat Manny and Ward beat Kov. You may have rooted for Manny and for Kov but the fact remains they lost. Crying and crying is really a bad look for any adult. Shape up and accept it. Then you can let go of your ignorant hate and start enjoying life. Til then, you all sound like a bunch of toddlers. Show some self respect people.

It was a robbery. The judges gave Ward 17 out of the last 18 rounds when combining three scorecards. That's ****ing insane. They gave Ward round 10 which he clearly lost. Everyone agrees he lost round 10. But their scorecards were such that if they gave it to him, he would lose.

Ask any boxing insider. They will tell you that when judges start sweeping later rounds like that, it's very suspect, and they are doing it to maintain a certain desired score.

Was it as blatant as Perez? No but my point is after you already saw one robbery on the card, and then you get another weird decision, why would you give the judges the benefit of the doubt?

I'm just saying don't be naive. Like it's fine if YOU scored it for Ward SUBJECTIVELY, but why would you assume that's also the reason the judges scored it for Ward? This is boxing. The most corrupt sport in existence. They already robbed one fight that night, so why would you give them the benefit of the doubt?

I'm saying whatever your score or my score was, I believe odds are very high that the judges were corrupt, and odds are very high that if they weren't corrupt, they would have scored it for Kovalev like 90% of the fans and the media did.

Here you go with your whining diatribe. All you do is whine on here. That fight was not a robbery. Period. It could be the wrong decision however you scored it, but way too close to call robbery. Save your tears for another fight, it's over. Life goes on.
