    And I might add, there are alot of guys here I have seen deny the last punch was low. The capital B is the key. It is much lower than the belt line on Kov's trunks.

    Thanks for posting that. It shows just how low the Capital B is below his beltline.

    White belt line
    Black fabric
    Then the white lettering

    The final punch lands clearly on the B

    I sleep horrible..haha. I'm an old man.

    But that video does demonstrate my point. Just how low that B is below the legal beltline.

    And to be fair, that is about a textbook vicious counter right as you will ever see. If you want to show someone how that punch is suppose to go, show them that video. And to give ward even more credit, he punched through the target.

    You try defending against head shots when you are being hit low all fight long.

    Talk to you again the next time a foreign fighter gets beaten/screwed over or starts slow in a fight. Thats the only times I encounter your posts or when you are claiming Lomachenko should have lost to Ramirex and Valdex in the amateurs and they would make better pros than him.

    You really are such a smarmy, little patronizing *****. I would love to see what you look like in person. Saem goes for all thses bottom feeders gloating over a foreigner being the victim of some the most pervasive,and collusive discrimination imaginable at least in terms of sport.

    Ward could have shot Kovalev and you trash would be celebrating claiming Kovalev should have prepared better to defend against high energy projectiles and nothing illegal had occurred.

    I very well may hate all of you!

    Ward could have really hurt Kovalev right there. Kovalev was not defending at all and left his head completely exposed as his bent forward in agony.

    Its almost like Kovalev got a free pass from Ward and Weeks at that moment.

    Pretty hard to defend against head shots when your opponent is allowed to low blow with impunity. Same cast of human garbage also ignored the low blows that Salido was allowed to hit Loma with all fight long.

    So much institutionalized discrimination direct toward foreitn fighters. I hope GGG and his are paying attention because God only knows what they will cook up against him.

    Actually your response makes no sense to what OP said lol, the haters seem to have problem dealing with facts and keep looking for excuses for Kovalevs almost giving up and overall poor performance.He learnt nothing from the first fight in my opinion and the complications with his trainer and people Kovalev preferred to take advice from in his corner.

    Kovalev deserved the loss.

    Ward could have really hurt Kovalev the way he was bent forward with no defense.

    If Ward had carried on throwing punches here like he should've done he woulda probably stopped Kovalev there and then. Those bodyshots were killing him.

    Ward could have used taser on Kovalev and gotten away with it. THEY would have all claimed that was on the up and up also but THEY all wanted GGG DQ'd for hitting Lemieux a fraction late.

    Rigo pulls a guys head down and hits him more than a second after the bell rings and THEY have.no with that either.

    the bodyshots in the lower belly is what opened up the chin. Sergey was wincing in the previous round, faking a low blow. The ref gave him a breather each time and when touched in he lower belly again he folded...

    That's why kovalev faked. There were like 3 or 4 situations like that, in every one of those situations kovalev faked or gave his back to ward. Very manly, doe!

    What ended the fight was Kovalev's inability to protect himself and allowing Ward to T off on him. It is the ref's job to protect the fighters, and he did just that.

    Had Kovalev knelt, or had he kept his guard on place, or even if he had thrown punches back, Weeks would not have had a reason to protect him.

    Have you ever seen Corrales-Castillo I? I recommend you watch rd 10.

    Weeks is very consistent with his reffing.
