    I don't know how you say missing a lot of shots is winning a fight. He didn't land anything the whole fight.

    your man Kovalev...he was missing throwing at air son. Re watch it. Ward was turning and catching all your boys straight shots. Kovalev can't throw hooks.

    "You basically accepted the racism towards Stevenson which clearly does have an impact on the black boxing community."


    You can keep this disgusting narrative up if you like. It isn't going to get you anywhere. That very post You're claiming racism in clearly states that it is not okay for Kovalev to do that. Out of 3,470 posts on this forum you are taking one sentence, misinterpreting it, and turning it into a case of racism. All the while completely ignoring the effects that claim has on the poster should you happen to be wrong about it. Even going on to ignore that in that exact post I clearly stated that the comment was not okay.

    "You claimed that I was pushing a narrative which I was not."

    You're pushing a racist narrative onto me right now. I can set here and point out that I said namecalling was fine as that's exactly what I said but I really feel I shouldn't need to do that. I completely understand that under the context namecalling could be synonymous with racial slurs. But what you're doing is ignoring all context of my post history and assuming the worst intentions when I have given zero reason for you to suggest it. You're going to damage what reputation I have one on this site because I don't like a fighter being stopped by low blows? I've already said it once. Take a step back and reevaluate your position here. Who is being irrational? It's not a big deal if you throw the reputation of a forum poster in the gutter, but as you're pointing out, these things have greater consequences in the real world.

    You're right. Ward's team wanted Kov's pubic region shaved before the fight though otherwise he would be fined of his purse.

    Nice try. So i guess you're playing dumb now. The statement was you CLEARLY trying justify his actions or you being extremely ignorant. But keep trying to cry about how I'm playing a narrative.

    As for the stoppage I myself said it should not have been stopped. The controversial borderline low blows wasn't a big factor, but the fact that the referee didn't give him a count.

    You're a massive hypocrite you know that? You're saying that I'm pushing some kind of narrative after you CLEARLY tried to justify his racism, but now you're saying I'm trying to tarnish your reputation because you don't like a fighter who throws low blows. Completely false. I'm calling you out for your clear bias for EE fighters, your stupidity in thinking that it should have been a DQ, and the fact that you're trying to say that the reason why you don't like Ward is because he's dirty. So you like fighters who throw rabbit punches, but fighters who throw low blows which are subjective to being intentional or accidental are far worse to you.

    Now go on and cry again.

    Ward was tearing his ass up. You could see it in his face. It was only a matter of time.

    yeah. Kathy duva and kovalev team are going to make a big scene over low blows as a cop out and an escape lol. They will do it to save some face over the loss. So that kovalev can still continue to be a popular fighter and still sell tickets and seem unstoppable lol

    "Nice try"

    Repeating it does not make it so.

    "As for the stoppage I myself said it should not have been stopped. The controversial borderline low blows wasn't a big factor"
    Whether Kovalev was unfit to continue or not hasn't been argued in this thread. A "controversial" low blow, followed by a wince, and the ref stepping in were a a pretty big factor if we are being honest here.

    "You're a massive hypocrite you know that? You're saying that I'm pushing some kind of narrative after you CLEARLY tried to justify his racism"
    By saying it isn't okay? I don't feel for Stevenson one bit. That's clear. But I clearly said that What Kovalev did was NOT okay.
    You're going to sit here and do this all night but taking one sentence out of 3500 posts and calling racism is pushing a narrative.

    "I'm calling you out for your clear bias for EE fighters"
    And once again I'll point to my post history.

    "your stupidity in thinking that it should have been a DQ,"

    At this point it's comical that you don't think a fight being ended by low blows is DQ worthy.

    "So you like fighters who throw rabbit punches"

    You have a habit of making claims that I have clearly stated the opposite of don't you?

    "but fighters who throw low blows which are subjective to being intentional or accidental are far worse to you."

    Whether or not a low blow is intentional or not is not a determining factor when the low blow in question ended the fight. Once again, something I have already stated.

    "however in this particular case, I don't have a problem with anyone of Stevenson's criminal background being called names. I'm sure the women he's beat would much preferred name calling than physical abuse."

    You clearly said that you don't have a problem with Kovalev's action. Don't really know what we're arguing about here.

    If Kovalev were from a western country like the US, Canada, or the UK then I wouldn't have a problem with him being called a racist.

    Oh more justification?

    Kovalev was hurt extremely badly before the body shots and the controversial low blows. DQ is an absolute joke, at worst it's a NC and that's a huge stretch IMO. We get it. You think Ward should have been DQ which is absolutely comical, but sure, I'm not going to change your mind on that. I accept it, now accept the fact that not everyone is going to agree with your moronic take on something. Move on.

    Post history? I'm not this ****ing invested in this wiht you. You're the one who always initiates contact with me. Not the other way around. You're the one with the obsession wtih me. Are you going to tell me to go through your post history and prove that too LOL.

    "So you like fighters who throw rabbit punches"
    You have a habit of making claims that I have clearly stated the opposite of don't you?

    Simple. I find it quite funny how you're saying you don't support a fighter who low blows, so do you support a fighter who rabbit punches?

    Random thought, but what Kovalev also doesn't have is the ability to get off with anything other than a jab and a straight right. He has very mediocre punch variety. No uppercuts, no short hook, etc.

    When he hits the pads, his left hook is wide as the Grand ****ing Canyon. Wish he was able to develop a bit more offensively.

    yeah. If he can't land his jab and straight right then he can't land anything else I think.

    His past fights where he throws other punches like body punches its because he was first able to get through with his 1 and 2.

    Probably goes back to his amateur days. He's a tallish dude so probably was taught to work just off the 1 and 2 and how to maintain distance first...
