OK enough of this Ward/Kovalev low blow nonsense.

    I rewatched this fight with the sound off to make sure i wasnt swayed one way or the other and this is what i saw. Kov got off to a good start by likely winning the first 3 round but the fight changed in the 4th round when Ward started landing clean body shots and that straight right hand and Kov didnt make the adjustments. This fight was deterimined in that round. There were absolutely NO LOW BLOWS for the majority of the fight except for one in the second round which was borderline which Kov recovered well from because i thought he clearly won the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Another in the 7th which was pretty much a love tap that Kov imho overreacted to but it was because he was getting that body work for the previous 5 rounds and was looking for a breather. The final clear low blow was the last punch of the fight which by that time it was irrelevent because Kov was clearly a beaten fighter. A great win for Ward and you clowns going on about dirty fail to mention the constant rabbit punching and head locking by Kov during the fight. Heres a quick breakdown of what i saw as far as the body shots being landed by ward compared to low blows.

    1rst round
    4 clean body shots
    No low blows
    Kov no complaints

    2nd round
    1 borderline low blow
    3 clean body shots
    Kov complains

    3rd round
    0 low blows
    3 clean body shots
    Kov no complaints

    4th round
    0 low blows
    8 clean body shots
    Started landing straight right hand fight changed at this point.
    Kov no complaints

    5th round
    0 low blows
    6 clean body shots
    Kovalev started to look winded, breathing with mouth open and announcers are noticing.
    Kov no complaints

    6th round
    0 low blows
    3 clean body shots
    Kov no complaints

    7th round
    1 low blow not very hard but big reaction by kov. clear sign hes not liking the body work
    5 clean body shots.
    Kov complains

    8th round
    Kov turns his back in the beginning of the round a moves away looking for a breather or maybe frustrated.
    @ 3:54 Ward lands a clean shot on the belt line which Weeks said before the fight was ok, Kov takes the shot well. Ward then unloads two more shots the second of which is on kovs right side which he clearly is hurt by and leans to his right side. Clearly hurt by a body shot. This is absolutely NOT a low blow. Ward thinks kov is claiming its a low blow again and waits for the ref to intervene which he does not because Weeks HAD A CLEAR VIEW OF THE SHOT and saw it was a clean shot. Kov tells weeks it was low and continues to fight but is clearly having discomfort on HIS RIGHT SIDE and NOT HIS GROIN AREA!
    Ward continues to land clean body shots on kov and backs him into a corner. Ward then lands another big body shot that folds kov over then throws two more blows the first glances off kovs side and the last is likely a low blow as kov is bent over and sits on the ropes not fighting back so its pretty much irrelevant by that point. Weeks steps in and stops the fight. Kov then stands up immediately but then squats back down and taps his cup then stands back up and walks to his corner. Doesnt seem like someone who just got punched in the nuts.

    Uh, how did you miss the low blow in Round 1? There was even a pause in the action...

    It's like that anytime certain guys lose around here. Kovalev was considered a unstoppable beast and he was stopped twice. He a weak little ole ***** and Ward and Alvarez are the only men that can satisfy his wife because her husband has no ability to dig deep when times get tough.
    What happen to those Russian coaches and trainers that he was going to get after firing John David Jackson? His first corner team, you know, the one that looked like soul food restaurant in Harlem? They were the reason he made it that far and he fired them because ,he is who he is inside, and now no one feels sorry for him getting his butt kicked on the main stage. Hope he quits and Alvarez does not give him a rematch. Sore loser.

    Kov reacted to no low blows. I hope youre not talking about the shot that caught him on the side of his hip/thigh area at about :35 of the first round. Point out where it was because i think youre fullasht! also there were a few body shots i noticed this time around so thanks for making me rewatch the round.

    Watch at @2:54 The rules applied to both fighters. Weeks was clear with his instructions. Case closed! Youre wrong. Get over it. 3 borderline low blows did not determine the outcome of the fight. The 30+ clean body shots is what did. Get over it. ONly an absolute fool would continue to take your position when clearly proven wrong.

    Ward won the second fight but the first fight was a complete robbery.

    However, Ward did show up with a ton of bacne and muscle in the second fight. Sudden bacne at 33 y/o without any in the past screams roids.

    Youre are either a moron or youre trolling. The rules are interpreted by the ref as hes sees fit. You think every umpire has the same strike zone? Or every basketball ref sees a charge/blocking foul the same? Yes there are exact rules but they are at the mercy of the referees discretion you nitwit. Right or wrong thats the way it is. If you think that Kov lost because of 3 low blows you are an absolute moron of the highest order.
