    Good point! It also encouraged him to take part in what gave him that back acne and get tested only once by VADA going into this fight ;)

    Is the Floyd/McGregor fight less legit than the Haye/Chisora fight that was sanctioned by the Luxembourg boxing federation or the Russian boxing orgs that allow Povetkin to fight?

    The Americans like to pretend they're "neutral" and "home of the sport of boxing". The Russians never claimed that.

    They're all the same but American fighters in America somehow get a pass.

    Let's use this example:

    A British fighter in Britain wins in the way Ward "won" in these two fights and everyone here would scream robbery and homecooking. Let's be honest here, you know that this forum and the entire boxing community would go nuts if this would happen.

    Same goes for a Russian fighter in Russia or a German fighter in Germany.

    Yet American fighter winning this way in America is somehow OK because we just have to assume that Americans aren't nationalistic and are neutral? Yet whenever I watch these fights in America there are American flags everywhere, there's the singing of the American anthem, people shouting "USA, USA" and things like that. I come from a small nation which makes us a bit more nationalistic but even we rarely include national anthems on sport events.

    The Russian anthem was sung in a very degrading way, it was almost like some sort of deliberate provocation.

    People always forgive undeserved losses but they never forgive undeserved wins. I'd rather have Kovalev's "loss" than Ward's "win". I think Kovalev will go down as a bigger legend in the sport of boxing when everything will be said and done. He is a pure fighter and went through a lot to get where he's at. He would be much more appreciated in old school boxing. He was written off before, he will bounce back.

    He made the supposed "#1 P4P" resort to fighting like a woman and won a lot of rounds against him and even knocked him down like a *****. Keep in mind that Kovalev never had the luxury of being a privileged kid by some elite trainer and elite amateur system. He's a late bloomer who can still improve.

    A few marginal shots but none of them outrageous - street fight 2, remember - and the ref was kinda quick to intervene but Kovalev was badly out of shape for this fight - again - and running on fumes by the 8th. He was gonna be stopped by Mr Feather Fist, either later that round or in the 9th, maybe 10th. And look at his face at the end, there wasn't an ounce of fight left in him, and very few signs of complaint. He looked happy it was all over and this, more than anything, tells us what we need to know.

    He lost... deal with it and don't trade out any semblance of self-respect you have left constructing painfully inadequate attempts to observe a 'robbery'. Jeez, it actually makes me cringe to read some of the squirming going on here from grown men. I was gutted when my man Brook was beaten by Spence. But guess what? He lost, I dealt with it despite plenty of ammo to build a hard luck story around the injury and weight. But those would have just been excuses and it's only excuses I observe here.

    I'll give you 10 out of 10 for innovation though... a stoppage robbery. They're as rare as hen's teeth....

    How do you feel about the judging in Tokyo for the Murata/N'Jikam fight?

    Crybaby bitches whining in the thread you can watch this gif on loop. https://i.imgur.com/W8IWHYn.gif Kovalev dancing a jig from Ward's "girl" punches. Ward punches like a girl they said. Kov was done and wasn't defending himself forcing the ref's hand.

    Another black eye for the sport, it's despicable. The only sport in America where a championship can not only be won by the loser, but can be won by using illegal tactics. You don't see the Super Bowl, the World Series or even the Stanley Cup won on fouls or penalties. Yet not only is it acceptable in boxing but the people that are suppose to keep law and order for these fights turn a blind eye like the refs, judges & commissions. And fans of the "winning" fighter either choose to ignore these fouls & applaud a win like this, or acknowledge the fouls but blow them off like they had no bearing on the outcome. Hopefully no one else will fight Andre Ward because it is impossible to get a fair shake against this guy. It makes no sense, he can't sell tickets in Vegas. He can't even sell out when he fights at home in Oakland, he doesn't sell ppv's and he's not a star, yet he still gets all this favorable treatment from judges, blind refs and athletic commissions. Hopefully he retires, he gives the sport of boxing, especially boxing in America a bad name.

    He does punch like a girl. They always teach women to kick/punch the male attacker in the balls. Maybe Ward should start teaching some women's self defense classes since him teaching his style of boxing would get all his fighters disqualified.

    For the Schmeling era this was correct but US HW boxing was dead from 2007 until Wilder won a belt in 2015.
    Now there is Wilder but the captial of HW boxing is still europe ( more UK than germany now) even Luis Ortiz came over to fight here.

    SMW is also bigger in europe same with Crusierweight.

    The finishing shot was indeed a low blow, but many of the other punches before that were body shots. Kov wanted to hunch down as he was exhausted and hurt anyway, the referee shoudn't have stopped it - but Kov was DONE, he looked exhausted and a beaten fighter. Ward would have stopped him anyway.
    Alot of sore losers on this forum, the fact is Ward won, his tactics at times are questionable - but he finds a way to win every time, and he was clearly the better fighter this time out especially on the inside.
    Kov showed alot of mental weakness, the bully was being bullied and he couldn't handle it.
