Ha, then that is bs. 12th was Kovalev clearly, jeeze.

Not sure how they know that though, I've literally never seen judge's scorecards that quick even during open scoring where they announce every 4 rounds.

Kovalev threw more and landed more AND had a knockdown.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

Yeah, the 12th round makes this worse. Just no excuse for those scores

12th to Ward almost screams rigged. I mean how is that possible?

I have no qualms with anybody having Ward winning by a hair though. I can see 114-113 Ward being reasonable in general.

I had it 115-112 Kovalev (5,7,8,9,11 for Ward), but I think people are overreacting to the scorecards. 114-113 isn't outlandish.

You can have Ward winning yes whatever but having him winning by giving him the last round what a shame

Pretty sure Kovalev had a rematch clause at least, but ****.

He can't win the 12th.

Feel pretty awful for Kovalev in that post fight. Trying to say the right things, but can't hold back

If this was rigged the location wont change much. It is about the promoters.

LOL @ people saying riggage. He won by a point ffs. It could easily have went either way. No problem whatsoever with the scoring.

I thought it was. To be fair, I had the Portuguese channel at the time of the knock down and didn't understand most of what they said. So maybe the HBO people said otherwise.

I think people are more angry with the 12th going to Ward on all 3 cards and it being the deciding factor in the fight than the score in general.

Kovalev is a class act. Feel bad for him. Fought his heart out in a close fight that he probably thought he won. Rematch!

Their faces make it even more obvious. All those Kellerman jeers and crowd screams when Ward put in a super short left from 2 inches away left no marks.

Ward's face looks pretty damn rough. Really thought Kovalev had it when they read the scores.

It's not Bradley-Pacesque or anything, but it's the wrong call x3, the 12th was so clearly Kovalev.

Was this confirmed? And yes that looked clear for Kovalev to me.

Fully agree with Paulie's assessment that people get so hung up on aggression and coming forward. Ward made Kov miss quite a bit. Cleaner shots throughout the fight by Ward imo. I had Ward winning myself.
