    Like I said before the fight, Lampley is a tool. He's there to sell "excitement" at the expense of his own dignity.

    My favorite part is when he was watching a highlight and screaming "Bam Bam" as Andre Ward misses punches in slow motion, you can hear a brief stutter in his voice like "what the hell am I doing?".

    They looked low live, but on replay only the last one. Looked unintentional. With the first two legit, the low one didn't occur until Kovalev was bent down.

    People are reaching. Ward was working the body.

    SOB will only fight if he has his personal referee, judges, boxing commission....................there was an FBI investigation into fixed fighting in Vegas a few years ago, also Sen. McCain wanted to clean up boxing there as well...............I think an FBI investigation into the criminal Nevada boxing commission should be revived...........

    Did you watch the prefight instructions? He said on the belt was fine and some of them landed there. Like I said if Ward would punch kova with all that he had in the nuts you just don't slump over you go down. It's over and out.

    Kova was on his deathbed anyways, he was rocked to the head and body before ward finnished him and was looking really gassed.

    ward would have stopped him anyway and even if he didnt stop him ward would have won all the remaining rounds and won on points, kovalev was hurt and exhausted at the end of the 8th, no way in hell was he winning. people to need to forget this 'indestructible bully' aura that he has, its all talk. he was finished after the right hand to the head and relentless body shots from ward.

    Ward had the blue print in the later part of the last fight. It was over then. Ward trained and made more adjustments. Kovalev did a lot of talking and posturing as did his fans.

    exactly, as soon as ward had him figured out kovalev could do nothing, barely landed on ward in 8 rounds and ward the 'non power puncher' rocked him heavily,

    Let ward have his judges refs officials belts headbutts lowblows hes one all at best in that rivalry so there should be a decider and thats it. Ward looked more than likely to go on to win the fight (but u never know), he was the guy to land the best shot just like last fight kovalev landed the best shot and whover did that won, these fights can be that close
