It was the same sequence that left him on the receiving end of a knockdown in the first fight, slipping the jab and delivering the right hand, however, this time Ward reached his target. That took an incredible amount of confidence not to mention timing.
I agree with you but some of them doesn't and they will come back with all sorts of reasons and scorecards, etc. Be prepared lol
Kovalev looked like he made a mistake there by momentarily switching to southpaw and then immediately after throwing a jab turned back to orthodox position leaving himself open for just a sec. That's when Ward exploded with a right hand. Great timing with the right hand by Ward. Kovalev has a pretty good chin not going down from that shot.
A G? How old are you? Kovalev was ahead on points in my opinion. Sure, he had been hurt with some legal shots and some low blows... Some of those legal shots were get up with low blows first. The ref refused to even acknowledge the low blows except for one... which he only gave Kovalev a few seconds to recover from (the rule states a fighter can take up to 5 minutes to recover)... had Kovalev did that Weeks would have probably made Ward the winner by TKO at that point. You all are nuts defending Ward like this. Ward is an awesome fighter but he should be 0-2 vs. Kovalev not 2-0 (1)
I'm going to take a wild guess and assume that you were rooting for Kovalev. It will be okay buddy. LHW is a deep division but Kovalev is still clearly the second best guy by a comfortable margin. Him and Ward will fight again I have little doubt about that.
I didn't really care who won, I like both fighters. Those shots were low, very low. They were not "borderline" unless you consider borderline the letters on the trunks BELOW THE waistband. The waistband that was very thick by the way. Anything under that band was clearly low. Anyway, it is what it is. I am unbiased but I know the rules, I am a ref.
