They are illegal for a reason. And instinctively, you double over hurt severly or not. What's frustrating is the official recognized they were low blows but wouldn't call a recovery break or deduct points to keep it clean. That sort of thing just brews controversy this bout did not need.
This whole low blow thing is just an emotional bandaid for these clowns. Kov got his ass whooped and quit.
kovalev was done!!!! where was the confident stalker? the big man walking down the little man? ward stuck the fork in him because he was done!!!! ward outsmarted, outboxed and outclassed kovalev. go to sleep.
And from another angle..Kov pulls his left glove over his nuts. Of course you can't admit to being wrong in the face of actual video footage, because you are a tool. This content is protected
They really didn't look that low to me. The worst were borderline. If the ref had given a warning and a time out, I could have lived with that. But there was never not going to be controversy in this series unless it ended like JMM vs Pac4 and even then, the *******s still wanna' argue about it to this very day, so...
kovalev should have had a point deducted you are not supposed to bend below the waist, he was clearly doubled over bent below the waist.
I've never in all my years scene a ref stop a fight with a fighter doubled over and holding their nuts. I've seen fighters go down, holding their nuts, and be counted, but to run in while they are doubled over and holding their nuts...never.
