What are the worst robberies in the past 5 years?

It is impossible to throw a rabbit punch with full force especially at the distance administered. Rabbit punches are not thrown properly or with power at all, you cant compare a rabbit punch at close distance to that of a standard punch. They are as effective as weak forearm punches, they dont have the impact of a normal punch. You dont need to be a professional boxer to know this. Stop pretending that you are logical, you are not, you dont need to be a professional boxer to use common sense.

 

Kovalev got overconfident, he thought he could go to everyones hometown and beat the domestic fighter, it worked for him before so why wouldnt he agree to it? Also Ward would NOT have fought Kovalev if he didnt get all the advantages.

 

I’m not saying he should agree to it, I respect him for challenging himself. See unlike some people I think Kovalev is a tremendous fighter, he pushed Ward close. He is as good as Ward from a technical stand point, the difference between them is Ward listens and adjusts to his trainer, Kovalev doesn’t he thinks he knows it all, he doesn’t live the lifestyle or train as hard as he probably could and he didn’t correct the flaws in his game which were inside fighting, improving his core and attacking the body.

 

Kovalev does seem arrogant and naive. His new trainer from the former Soviet Bloc should put him back to shape.

 

I don’t think he can learn at this point the man is coming to his mid 30’s you can’t be ill disciplined for that long. Although Ward was my favourite fighter it’s a shame he beat Kovalev the way he did coz I wanted to see Kovalev take on Bivol, Barerra, Gvozdyk and Beterbiev. If he still had his belts they would have all had to go through him.

Who you got out of Kovalev vs Shabransky?

 

You said Kov shoulda protected himself at all time. The ref stopped the bout after a low blow. So...???

Look, I'm fine with a retaliatory low blow. But the videos clearly show Ward landing the low blow right before the ref erroneously stopped the fight.

The number of fight fans who are just completely fine the ref fudging the call and stopping the fight is astounding.

 

I was absolutely fuming when this guys stopped the fight especially when he coulda given the count.

However I don’t think Ward did those low blows on purpose, because there was time when Kovalev winced and turned around and Ward just stopped and looked at the ref if he meant to do that he would capitalised on that opportunity. Even the stoppage he stopped after he landed the third one, he could went for the finish but he looked at weeks if remember correctly.

Nevertheless my argument is you have to retaliate when you realise the ref isn’t protecting you. You need to become just as dirty to force the ref to intervene, crying to the ref only gives your opponent confidence.

 

Kovalev could easily learn to listen to his coaches, its not difficult, he just needs to Brush off his arrogance and pride.

Kovalev wins via TKO 6.

 

It's not off by 157 punches. Gonzalez was using Rungvisai as a punching bag. Honestly, I've seen compubox be off, but I've never seen anything more objective and reliable. I would rather have the outcomes of fights scored by compubox than by judges which are much more prone to bad decisions.

You have a valid point, but find me some compubox scores that are as bad as some of the judges decisions in this thread. I can't think of any.

 

If he could he would, I think Kovalev gets done by any of the people I name if they can take his punches and go to his body. No one reinvents themselves at that age especially someone with the style of a Kovalev.

 

The Jacobs vs GGG numbers was a absolute joke bro. Compubox operators are humans they are prone to error just like judges and corruptible just like judges.

Compubox doesn’t tell you about the quality of the punches, how hard the punch really was, the effect it had on the other fighter. So many things get lost in the numbers, judges have to look for a lot of things which people pushing a button don’t. It’s nice for the fans to have it but it’s just not good enough to score fights with imo.

 

Kovalev lost because of pubic punches, not because of the body shots.

 

Lol tell yourself what ever you need to to satisfy yourself. I’m telling you Kovalev lost because Ward broke him down mentally, he knew Kovalevs weaknesses and exploited him. He better recognise this and try his best to correct this or he will be stopped again.

 

Kovalev lost because of the accumulation of pubic punches, it slowed him down and did extensive damage to his entire game plan. Shabransky isnt a dirty fighter, and he isnt a hometown fighter either as prolific as Ward, so Kovalev is not likely to go down that way.

 

I don't believe for one second those low blows were intentional. But they were the last punches landed before the stoppage. Honestly, that's my only qualm with the rematch. And can't retaliate anything when the fight is stopped.
