    So basically Ward exposed him, took him to school and took his soul.

    You are right in a way. Nothing will be done to change the outcome BUT
    the poster is 100% right on what he said. It further proves just how corrupt boxing is today

    More like Kovalev put the final nail into Ward's coffin/career.

    Now we know these Kessler headbutts weren't a fluke.

    When pushed to the limit, Ward cannot help to cheat.

    Situational ethics has found it's poster boy.

    i've been saying for years that if cycling can be rife with drugs under one governing body, then just imagine what is going on in boxing
    we've seen inexplicable scorecards repeatedly in big money fights (Floyd-canelo, GGG-canelo...), and fighters like felix sturm who win 4 'world titles' but is never matched with a world class MW in his entire career

    it won't ever change while boxing is 'ruled' by fragmented and corrupt federations
    but for 'farmboxer' to repeat his claim for 5 months - like I said to him in another thread - he needs to give meaning to his own life, instead of getting consumed by the achievements of others

    I would think that the situation with Jackson as more chance to be an eye opener then being at the wrong end of a cheat fest

    Not really cuck!

    So basically Ward got a gift from the judges in the first fight and a gift from the ref in the second then took his ball and ran home with nobody caring or missing him.

    I know the truth when I see it! I am not afraid to tell it like it is, but some refuse to even look at the evidence! I paid to watch a fair fight only to see Kovalev cheated! Yes, Kovalev was cheated by the corrupt judges in the first fight, then cheated by the referee in the second! This is a disgrace to boxing and a disgrace for those who refuse to see the truth! I dare anyone to look at the low blows and tell me they were legal! Damned right I will complain! Many are afraid to admit it, but most fans know it's the truth! Shame on SOB fans for lying! I can't call it any other way, unless it's so much hate for Eastern European fighters that they are purely delusional! They believe what they want to believe! An apple is an apple, it's not an orange, banana, fig, truck, dog, horse, no, it's a damned apple! An ace is a ace and a spade is a spade! So start telling the truth for a change! Watch the evidence! Oh, but some are afraid........................Perhaps Bob Bennett was correct when he told me on the phone that fans do not know anything about boxing, that they don't know how to judge a fight, only judges know how to do that! And yes, he told me that Byrd was one of the best judges living today and had never had a bad card except the Golovkin/El Pollo fight! Don't you understand that the powers that be in boxing have zero respect for the fans?! Hell, ask him, I gave you his number, did anyone have the balls to call?! Why are so many are afraid of the truth? Quit lying to yourself! Watch the evidence, then tell me Ward won the fight fair and square....................you are saying what you are told to say............................Paulie told it like it was!

    Sorry but I don't buy it. Before the fight(s), I was told the "Krusher" was this fearless KO machine and Ward was without chance. Ward would be knocked out "with ease" by those huge, krushing Krusher blows.

    But then inside the ring, nothing was left of the fearful "Krusher" image. His punches were nothing special. He couldn't take body punches. He can't fight on the inside. And when he landed on Ward, he didn't have much impact.

    So yes, Kovalev was exposed as being less special than most people (including myself!) thought. Ward did his job well.

    You are delusional.....................the proof is in the video and still pictures. Kovalev won the first fight, but was cheated by Roc Nation's judges, in the rematch he was constantly hit in the testicles! So you are claiming that Golota knocked Bowe out two times!? OK, let's change the decision....................LOW BLOWS ARE ILLEGAL IN BOXING PERIOD! Anyone else would have been disqualified! Look up the rules of boxing, low blows are illegal and always have been................then you have the history of Ward's headbutts, elbows, holding, wrestling, even holding Kovalev's leg in the first fight and something knocked Ward down, what was it? Perhaps a fly ran into SOB's head?! SOB Knows only one way of fighting, that is not fighting, fouling is what it's called. SOB did not win those fights at all, Kovalev was not hit by body blows, they were testicle blows! Again, go to the gym, put on your cup, have someone hit you in the nuts, remember, the secret is to land those punches in an upward motion to cause the most harm to the testicles. Nobody has steel balls, nobody. The extreme hatred of Eastern European fighters takes the cake! The prejudice shows it's ugly self! Years ago I had to put up with that crap when I did work for the Klitschkos.................it was very sad...............but they still did it.................they were not treated fairly, but all people have to put up with prejudice at times, such as the Irish, Jewish, Italians, Blacks, look what the government did to Joe Louis? He died in poverty, even after working and making money for the war effort, the government stole his money after all he did for our country. During WWI, Enrico Caruso had the same problem with the government after raising money for the war effort, Red Fox died broke, Eddie Murphy had to pay for his funeral, Tyson was cheated by Don King, but also the government and went to prison the last time when he was innocent! Eastern European fighters are good fighters because they are hungry, they work hard, they come from poverty and they have a good amateur fighting program......................it's not because they are superior people, it's because they are the ones coming from poverty, they are willing to work extremely hard for what they get and yet someone like Golovkin gets cheated in Vegas by corrupt judges, esp. one by the name of Byrd! Golovkin is a good person, he has given money to victims in Mexico, he is liked by Mexicans because he comes to fight and has a big heart. I remember when the Klitschkos went to Brazil and gave money to the poor children who were living in extreme poverty, some who were sniffing glue provided by American greedy people to make a few bucks, Klitschkos gave $1,000,000 to Nigerian children, money to Ukraine, money all over the world and they do not trash talk..................Eastern European fighters obey the rules of boxing, they do not cheat like Rigo did in his last fight, holding his opponent behind the head and hitting him three times, then land a left hook clearly after the bell, not at the bell, but after the bell! Bob Bennett lied about that, after all Roc Nation is his promoter, and Roc Nation is also Ward's promoter............................I am tired of being ripped off and watching fighters getting ripped off like Sosa recently........................so look at the video and still pictures and be honest with yourself.......................
