Paulie Malignaggi: "Partisan Performance by Tony Weeks"

Thank you, great find. There will be some vile disgusting "fans" on here that are so happy the Russian got screwed again that will ignore this video, those pieces of ****. Some of them are already commenting in my other thread. Forget fair officiating in US.

 

Ref should have called it a knockdown as Kov was sitting on the ropes when he stepped it.

 

Plenty of Ward fans could take not about humility of this Ward fan.

 

Isnt this the same guy that whined and bitched about Pac being on PED's and would suck pretty boy floyds dick anytime of the day?

 

Paulie is also a little ***** lol.

 

In another video he admits that Sergey was looking for a way out and was hurt. It was a weird stoppage, but I've seen worse stoppages. Kovalev was in serious pain, and I think Tony Weeks had a difficult decision to make. If he pauses the fight and warns or deducts Ward for a low blow, fans are complaining that Ward was robbed of a stoppage. Also when it comes to low blows, how the guy receiving the low blow needs and what position he is in when punch lands has to be considered. It did not seem to be a dirty or an intentional low blow by Ward. The guy was leaning over in pain and Ward tried to get in a body shot. He had no idea where Kovalev's belt-line was while Kovalev was hunched over in that situation. As a fighter you have to go for the stoppage.

 

What is funny is that Virgil Hunter is standing behind Paulie while he is saying this. I give Paulie credit for saying this. There is no up side for Paulie. Obviously he is saying what he believes.

 

I think when Virgil said he trained Ward to knock out Kov, he was referring to knocking out mini-kovalev.

 

Yeah, but think about what you just said. If a guy is hunched over from a low blow you would have to throw extremely low blows for them to be below the belt, as Ward did. If a guy is leaning over like that you would think the blows land high, not low.

 

Were you as shocked as I was that Ward started to hurt Sergey even before the inevitable right hand? He found the right about two rounds before he wobbled those knees....Ward was brilliant the last 2 rounds. Sergey should have been allowed to see the 8th though he would have been stopped of pure fatigue he still should have been given the opportunity to bow out with grace and dignity. He'll fight on another day man keep your dignity and accept your man was less significant today. I actually had Kovalev up 4/3 at the time of the stoppage but it was clear Ward was breaking him.

 

Kovalev was mentally outmatched and also the fight was tilted in Ward's favor. Both are true.

As for the stoppage, Kovalev was sitting on the ropes and if Weeks didn't want to call it low then he should have given him a count.

 

When a guy is in that hunched over position, it is very difficult as a puncher to target the body because you don't know if that guy will lean forward or back enough for the punch to hit the body or the cup. Flat out honest, I've seen way worse, way more dirty, intentional, targetted low blows than that.
