Belt line is illegal they said, well what about kovalevs 4 low blows then NOTE 1st one ie BELOW the belt This content is protected
1st one he held back. 2nd one was on the belt, 3rd one was on the belt. 4th one was on the upper belt. Any more?
First one didn't really land, second is low, third is low, fourth, if landed, hit the stomach/upper belt. Guess what? 0 nut shots. What point, exactly, where you trying to make?
I actually think the first one can have a new terminology called Graze-Blow. If that was an actual legal hit in the Olympics I don't even think they would score that lame arse attempt of a punch.
Damn people are getting desperate to justify Ward's low shots. It's amazing how some sports fans fandom overrides their logic function.
That first one was a hip shot is a vet move to slow down your opponent. Refs rarely if ever call it. Arreola did it several times to Wilder right in front of the ref who did nothing.
I doubt this was made to justify one mans actions, rather it was made to point out a little hypocrisy.
...? Where did I say that under the belt is OK? Only 2 punches can be called low-ish in this video, both on the belt & hip. Ref could've told Kovalev to bring them up but didn't and they rarely do so as stated by @Blackclouds above.
This is my point i am not complaining about kovalevs belt line shots and neither should people be with ward.
