    Was watching the Ward rematch again and Kovalev was winning the fight up to the stoppage, not the best stoppage but he was getting peppered with body shots so why didn’t he take a knee? He said when GGG hit him with a body shot in sparring he took a knee but when it really mattered he couldn’t do it?

    Wouldn’t have made a difference, Kovalev was getting starched knee or no knee.

    Fatigue.
    Being dead tired leads to mistakes because you can hardly think straight. When hurt like that and tired, one tends to just bend over. Reflexes and bad habits take over.

    He'd been peppered all fight long by Ward's deliberate low blows That last blast to his testes would have brought an elephant to his knees. Ward fought dirty. Tony Weekes looked the other way. BTW watch the fight again Weekes did warn Ward ONCE!! with " keep em up"
    look where the punches landed?? Above where Ward hammered Kov's testes

    You act like Ward hit excessively low. Not the case. He had a soft touch, were Kiv over reacted and another one that was low. That was it before the last round. The body shot that hurt kov in the last round before he got staggered was legit. The last one that landed when he was debilitated on the ropes was very close and may have went low, but was not intentional. Kov was bent way over.

    You kidding me? I watched the hell out of that fight! I'm not saying there weren't low blows, but not how haters try to portray it.

    They were BLATANT DELIBERATE LOW BLOWS To complain about it makes us haters huh ? Ward is a dirty fighter end of story. I'd love to see him fight Golota let the foul pole sink a few in. Would be justice

    Yet this same weeks did a great job in pbf-maidana right? You said he let them fight and called it right down the middle but have a problem with the way he worked kovalev-ward 2 because your guy lost. You have no credibility and are a hypocrite.

    Dont try that BS . Kovalev is not " My guy" I'm not infatuated with any idol like you are regarding Floyd. He can do no wrong in your book.
    I'm a boxing fan I want to see a good clean fight with the better man on the night getting the winning decision he deserves. I despise any form of cheating boxing is dangerous enough as it is
    Weekes called Floyd/Maidana straight down the middle he let them both fight their fight. BOTH of them broke the rules & fouled BUT Ward /Kov was totally different Weekes was totally biased & should have been made to explain his actions.

    No they weren't delibetate! Now that body shot that had Kov turn and run or that straight right that had Kov staggering around like a drunk with a short leg were deliberate. Ward>Kovalev! Ward ATG, Kov forgotten about in 10 years not even nominated for the hall of fame.

    Called it right down the middle? Lmfao yet he let maidana knee pbf throw him down head butt and hit pbf in the back of the head but that's right down the middle? The difference is pbf didnt fold like kovalev he fought on and won the fight. You're fine with that but think he did a horrible job in kovalev-ward 2 hilarious. You're always full of excuses cj if the guy you like doesnt win then there's a problem and some type of cheating took place.

    Ward should be In the HALL OF SHAME!!! The most obnoxious,hypocritical,egotistical POC in the game
    Him and Floyd are twins
