There were certain countermeasures in place to ensure Kovalev didnt win. The first fight showed that the judges were responsible for Wards victory. The second fight the judges were partially in on the rigging, and the referee played a larger part in ensuring Ward gets away with detrimental low shots which accumulated to Kovalev getting affected, and even stopped the fight on a low blow. The controversy and unfairness of the two bouts against Kovalev will forever be a part of boxing history. Nothing any of you can do about it.
Kovalev is a bully and Ward had this figured out as soon as he got knocked down in the 1st fight. I told guys like you that Kovalev was already mentally beat at the weigh in but you wouldn't listen. Kovalev didn't want to be there he cried early in the fight about borderline low blows that is a sign that he wanted out. Why would a supposed to be tough guy keep crying like that? He even turned his back. That right hand that had Kovalev stumbling around like a drunk at 3am did him in he was done at that point he wasn't going to recover he had bad body language and didn't protest the stoppage. For the hell of it I'll play along, say if Weeks had given him a standing 8 count Ward still would have jumped on him again and beat him up some more maybe forcing the stoppage then. Lets say he makes it out of the round. He either quits on his stool or possibly Jackson stops the fight by his bad body language. Lets say he comes out for the next round he's tired his heart isn't in it Ward is energized he has him figured out and right where he wants him he hits him in the body again either he quits the ref waves it off or he's KTFO either way he was going to lose the fight whether Weeks stopped when he did or it went on longer. He was behind on the cards as well, he was done anything else is wishful thinking.
Riddick Bowe was a pretty tough guy would you agree? He went down like a weeping 5 year old after an identical low blow from Golota. A few times. So that "supposed tough guy" Kovalev shouldn't be hacked on for that FFS! Lol Come on... a low blow ANYWHERE in that region by a world class boxer will make ANY tough guy do a funny face and sink down to the canvas. And the scenarios you mentioned had Weeks given an 8 count MIGHT have happened. We don't know. Also what if Weeks have Sergey a 5 minute rest after that last BLATANT low blow?? We don't know because we don't have a crystal ball. All I'm saying is Weeks should have went by the book in a championship fight like that.
Riddick Bowe was also mentally weak, like Kovalev, and threw his belt in the trash can rather than to face Lewis. Horrible example to use to try and prove your point.
I have never in my life seen anyone cry from their fighter losing a fight. You're crying more now after the stoppage than you did after the SD loss, lmao. Kov was stopped because Ward was stronger than him, smarter than him and better than him. Was Kov hurt this time? Ah forget it, you're not going to do anything but cry again, lol.
He had home advantage for all his Super 6 fights for a start. No neutral judges or referees for any of his fights,dubious decision in first fight,several low blows conveniently missed by American referee etc.
