A review of the scorecards shows Sergey Kovalev surged to an early lead, but then the judges gave him almost NOTHING in the last six rounds. John McKaie and Glenn Trowbridge gave Andre Ward a 6-0 sweep in the second half of the fight, while Burt Clements favored Ward 5-1. None of the judges gave Kovalev round ten, which many in the media thought Kovalev won.
