Video proof. Kov apologists its time to throw in the towel

He didn't break any rules and thus was given no warnings as there was only 1 punch near the end that was just below the belt line but Kovalev was done by then imo and would be pretty pathetic to blame that 1 punch for Kovalev losing. Fact is Kovalev didn't learn anything from 1st fight and was struggling with his conditioning again,he was starting to slow even before the 8th round and was looking for a way out.

 

I really hope there's a video that releases a compilation of the times Sergey complained of low blows - to see which punches he actually complained about and assess how low they were, because I believe the overwhelming majority of them were actually legit body punches to the belt. Obviously a small section of the glove may end up looking like it's underneath the belt because the glove is big but the primary point of contact was on the belt line for a couple of the most controversial punches.

 

What that 1 low blow is why he lost? GTFO he started struggling from even before that 8th round where it was obvious he was in trouble.Ward landed that nice head shot before he landed numerous damaging body punches which is what lost him the fight, im not sure why he didn't take a knee he left the ref no other option cause he wasn't defending himself properly and Weeks could see he was done.

 

Well we could right paragraphs on WHY he lost. That's not the same thing as how he lost. The fight was stopped after he doubled over from a low blow that the official ruled to be legal.

 

No, the fight was stopped after Kovalev reacted to a low blow. So the fight was not over. Are you suggesting the low blow came after the fight was called to an end?

 

I sense a lot of backtracking in a minute.

 

This negates everything you said previously. Because, of course, we have no idea what happens if the fight continues.

Anyways, back to the original post. Meeks declaring an area to be low or not does not make it low or not. In other words, he could subjectively declare an area 'not low' when it really is objectively low.

An umpire in baseball sets his strike zone for a game, but that doesn't mean that his strike zone is legitimate or fair. It only means that that umpire, that night, is going to call the game that way.

Important to understand the difference here.

 

The fight was over because Weeks was heading in to stop it before Ward even threw that last punch which wasn't low to me. It was one of those," and take that with you buster" punches. It was like kicking a dead horse.

 

Yet the official allowed him to continue until he doubled over from what footage has shown to be a low blow. There's no way around it, the fight was stopped as a result of the low blow.

The fight was not stopped after the right hand, the action was not stopped after what some have argued to be legal body punches, the action was only stopped when Kovalev finally doubled over from a low blow.

 

Of course Kovalev had a chance to win. Are you serious? Did Joshua have a chance to win after Round 6 against Wlad?

No, you are wrong on the umpire/ref stuff.

Meeks does not determine human anatomy. You are not permitted to hit below the waist. And the waist is the waist, regardless of how high Meeks thinks Kovalev's trunks are.

Your video proves nothing. The critical video is the one of the final punch of the fight, which certainly looks to be below the waist as it struck the "B" in Kovalev's trunks below his belt line.
