    You really need to work on not being so rational, logical, and truthful.

    I just watched the final sequence..Kov threw at least 3-4 punches before ward landed the last 2 body shots. The later being the one I believe was low that sent him to the ropes. Tell me if that what you see

    :D What ever you say bud. LOL

    "So called low blows" Lol :facepalm:

    Come on dude... That last one is CLEAR AS DAY LOW. Lol! The others were low enough at least Warn Ward AGAIN. The last one warranted a point deduction and 5 minute recovery.

    Weeks is suspect as hell.

    Just watched it again to narrow it down.

    Ward is leaning into Kovalev into the ropes. Ref breaks them. Kov fires 2 punches, ward throws the 2 consecutive body shots..the last one being the one that was low...am I seeing it wrong?

    No folks, nobody is sad, except for the fact that when a man dedicates his life to a craft, any man, of any color or nationality. The same man masters his craft and spends long hrs away from his family and loved ones, while taking and giving punches for a living and risking his health and well-being everywhere from the training camps, to amateurs, Olympics, to professional ranks it should be a concisive defeat that he suffers, not this complete bs and be f@cking robbed in the first match and then this.

    Kovalev has landed more punches in 13 of the 21 rounds that they fought, almost exclusively the cleaner and harder punches, scored the knockdown, and then this ridiculous bs destroyed the legitimacy of this match and anyone who has a modicum of honesty understands this.

    I'll give it another look when I have better internet connection. From what I recall after watching it twice was Kovalev slouched over, leaning against the ropes with his arms over his belly (not nuts) instead of his face which was completely exposed.

    Ward could have really hurt Kovalev in rd 8 too, when Kovalev was holding his stomach in agony after two monstrous shots to his abdomen.

    Ward is just a smarter, more diverse fighter. He can adjust while Kovalev cannot.

    Meanwhile, in reality land, Kovalev threw twice as many punches, landed more jabs and power punches in 13 of the 21 rounds that they fought, scored the knockdown, and was completely robbed in both matches of the opportunity to win and instead we have morally bankrupt people justifying this clear and obvious injustice.

    He's implying that this what made Kova hurt and then let to the bodyshots / Lowblows that finnished the fight.

    Bro for someone who has a lot to say maybe you should learn the basic rules before you start name calling other posters and fighters. Below the belt line is low not the belt line ad as for the fight all your hate seems to have made you forget what even happened theres was no previous warning as there was no low blows apart from maybe 1 at the end. You have also said the head shot OP was talking about came about after sum supposed low blows when there was none the 3 people complaining about where at the end just before he basically gave up and was stopped. Kovalev whining bout the beautiful body shot in the 6th was the start of what became clear he hadnt learnt anything from the last fight and he hadn't improved his conditioning at all.

    Well said.

    Ward's fans are the type to walk in a store, steal something and because the camera or workers didn't stop them, would claim that it is rightfully and legally theirs.

    As I said, the argument makes no sense.

    It's easily compared with Ward Round 2 in the first fight, Joshua Round 6 of the Wlad fight.

    This is a lame attempt to cover up for the illegal blow(s) ending the bout.

    It is what it is, and it's easy to counter the 'argument' here. Because there isn't one.

    The fight is not stopped but for the illegal blow(s). We have no idea what happens if the bout is not stopped due to the illegal blow(s).

    Really nothing else to say.

    I do think Kovalev was trying a Russian ropeadope before the illegal stoppage.

    Hey bro how about you stop reading my posts since they seem to always hit a soft spot on you ;) Deal?! :thumbsup:

    You seem awfully concerned with name calling (There are literally hundreds on here who dish it out towards me and certain fighters) but you're not the ****ing forum police are you? If it's not your quarrel on here... stay the **** out of it.

    I won't go back and forth with you on this subject. You have you opinion... I have mine ;) Happy posting.
