Did you mean blinders? First of all, I am on record stating that I felt Kov won the first fight. The second fight was not the foul fest you guys try to make it out to be. That being said, I am also on record stating that the ref should have given a count to Kov instead of stopping the fight. Some have argued that Kov would have been beaten more and bla, bla bla. My opinion is, Kov was trying to regain something. He should have been given the opportunity to do so. Even if it meant getting whooped more. I think Kov was a hell of a fighter. Even after his loss to Ward, I said he would pummel Bivol. A prime Kovalev was a scarey man. Too bad his career went the way it did. I hope he still has some good money. No hate from me. Too bad you can't say the same.
Wasn't what we claimed, did you see the finishing sequence to that fight? He was dishing out low blows all night long.
That's what I'm saying. He wasn't low blowing all night long. 2 rounds prior to the 8th. One was a soft touch at the end of the round and 1 legit low blow. Then came the the last round wete the last few shot may have been. It was reviewed and determined legal. Of course, people will claim that means zip. But it's on record.
All the athletes are doing this, or at least most are. The ones who get popped are just the ones who get caught by cycling incorrectly.
