OK enough of this Ward/Kovalev low blow nonsense.

    I re watched several rounds again individually that caught my attention. Im surprised no one else has asked this as i thought some trolls would try to call me on it but i thought it was important to my point so i left it in. Come to think of it though since the fight ended the way it did the announcers wouldntve made a difference in my analysis of the fight.

    Take your own advice.

    They didn't have to land ABOVE the navel.

    He told me last week, that against Kovalev, Andre was dirtier than what Golota was in the Bowe fight. Unbelievable.

    Most of them landed on the navel.

    Legal body shots don't have to land above the navel to be legal.

    I posted you Dino's gif last week, of 2 perfectly legal body shots.

    I think we've discussed this before. We're not looking here at a single shot. Yes, the last blow was low. But Weeks had seen enough by then. Kovalev looked to Weeks in shear desperation, after taking 2, 100% clean body shots. He then took the big right hand, and his legs had gone. All he fired back was 2 feeble jabs, before he ended up on the ropes hunched over. The first shot in that sequence looked legal to me. And then he kept firing, with nothing in return. Weeks made his mind up because he'd seen enough. His decision was based on what had happened in the whole round, not just the very last shot, which he missed.

    I've said it many times, that last shot was the straw that broke the camels back. It was unfortunate it was low, but again, he'd already seen enough at that point. People want to act like Andre only won on a foul, when the truth is, Kovalev was tired and hunched over, taking unanswered shots. Kovalev wasn't robbed. If anything, Andre was robbed of a clean win. And that last shot could have landed anywhere, Weeks made a split second decision based on the culmination of shots.

    I can't agree that there was in any way any corruption at work. And what people need to ask themselves, is that if Kovalev hadn't looked for help from the shots which were 100% legal, then maybe Weeks would have given him more leeway right at the end. Because a good referee takes everything into account. They're not just looking solely on the shots that land, they're also looking at a fighter's body language etc.

    Ha!

    He couldn't execute the sharpshooter like Bret Hart though.

    But he wasn't punched in the balls a few times.

    Only the last shot was low.

    You have zero credibility, after saying that the shots in Dino's gifs were illegal and that Andre fought dirtier than Andrew Golota did against Bowe.

    Are you saying the circumstances were the same?
