Rewatched the fight, on HBO things I noticed
All 3 unofficial or judges cards shown at the close of the round had it even (2 of them) and one had Ward +1 going into the 12th.
Leddermans card was absolutely trash. This nikka gave about 3 rounds to Kov he had no business winning one of them being the 9th. And Kellerman each time was
The obvious problem is they plaster Harolds card on the screen he gives some dumb ass explanation and you got Lampley screaming at the top of his lungs for every jab Kov lands but he's just even toned when Ward does work.
All of this sways public perception driving this casual robbery shyt.
I think one critical part of the rematch is what the ref does. Cause Kovs inside game is
Head shots have an effect the eye can see the head snaps back but I'm watching Ward rip his body with 3-4 punches every time they inside and Kov is just trying to position helplessly
If refs let them fight inside again Ward starts that in round 1 he's gonna fade fast as fukk wouldn't be surprised if he tries to head butt or throw an elbow to stop it
