    So you thought something was amiss even when Weeks carried out his pre-fight instructions?

    More words, yet no evidence.

    None of the videos uploaded on here show any wrongdoing.

    So you think Weeks was corrupt?

    I think the guide dog joke went over his head.

    That's called selective blindness.

    I consider his prefight instructions purposefully vague in order to allow Ward to hit below the belt. I don't see how any honest ref can imagine a belly button being so low.

    No, it's knowing the rules of boxing.

    Weeks isn't corrupt, he's crap.

    The area of the belt he pointed to seemed too low and not specific enough to discourage attempts at borderline shots where half or most of the glove would impact below it.

    When rules of boxing are inconsistently applied or totally ignored when fans deem it convenient then it is selective blindness. For example, allowing a fighter to constantly cuff another behind the neck whenever the fighter finally manages to get on the inside after taking punishment to get there without the ref deducting a point or giving a warning, as was usually the case in Ali fights, was blatant selective blindness.

    Kovalev landed several rabbit punches, and in one of the rounds, he turned away and looked at Weeks for help, even though the body shots that Andre had landed were 100% clean, which nobody could have found an issue with.

    True, Kovalev initiated the dirty fighting.
