    What a load of absolute cobblers.

    If anything, Usyk doesn't let the referee enough about these many low blows. "Complains a lot about any borderline shots" my a**e. It's ridiculous that a guy was admittedly ready to use illegal tactics but the bad guy is the one who occasionally shows he is not happy about said tactics.

    Madness.

    I agree in the 2nd fight Kovalev put forward a weak attitude. And the same can be said about Usyk in the Dubois fight.

    As for Kovalev I can understand his reaction in context to the first fight where he deserved the win put the powers around him screwed him over.

    There isn't the slightest bit of ambiguity regarding this being low or not and that corrupt as sin snake Tony Weeks had the best seat in the house. 100% low and Kovalev's shorts were low but astonishingly countless fans still had the gall to argue it wasn't low and I'll bet the other few in the sequence were low too.

    And even worse, even though it was unquestionably low and the ref is corrupt as sin, you're giving one of the filthiest dirtiest fighters in history and the most dirty in the sport at the time the benefit of the doubt if you argue it was legal

    Flagrant low blows, billy goat butts, elbows you name it it's all clearly intentional and undeniably so

    If kovalev was past it then so was ward who only fought one more time after the first fight where as kovalev fought on for many years. People want to make excuses for kovalev being past it while ignoring ward. Lmfao! These agendas are pathetic.

    He wasn't past prime before the fight ... only years later , after the fight lol.

    Even in the rematch Kovalev was going to take brutal revenge for being robbed.

    If you are Ward you have no idea how this man is going to approach the rematch. He could be coming to take Wards like like so many said he would. That the man you have to prepare for.
    Ward could have taken that decision and went elsewhere. He knew he had to run it back and win more decisively. He took two huge risks and challenges.

    Does he get no credit for moving up and facing a killer back to back? Golovkin wouldn't even move up and fight Ward once , yets he's heralded.

    If excuses are on the table , Ward was nearing the end of his career and riddled with injuries and inactivity.

    None of this means jack ****. What makes a guy appear 'past it' is how they were looked in their prior fights, the current, and there on.

    Ward did not move up and immediately 'face a killer' Dino. He had TWO fights at LtHW prior to facing Kov. Yet fools like you always insisted 3G move up to 168 and face Ward right off the bat.

    Both guys were past their prime. Yet Ward looked like Ward prior to facing Kov. Kov looked slower and more sluggish v Chilemba.

    GGG wanted to move up and fight Froch at 168 "right of the bat". He was being held to his own standards.
    Whats with the insults?
    Still acting like a sad 17 year old coward behind your computer. What are you now , close to 50?
    Don't quote me again , but you will because you're a cowardly keyboard tough guy.

    Good grief...how are some of you so stupid?? That's called a big money fight with high exposure you rube. As was a fight w/ JCCjr. Are you really this incapable of putting 1 + 1 together? You need some extra fingers to use to count? Just pull the ones outta your ass.

    Oh boo hoo...called you a fool after saying something foolish. Go clutch your pearls and faint you shock obsessed woman. :lol:

    You are still as dumb as ever....

    :lol: Jesus christs ... STFU drama queen. Was just a word, 'Fool'. That got you all pissed and angry over that? Maybe you need anger management or something. I'd suggest you try not to hit your GF, but doubts you have one. Maybe not getting laid is why you get so mad so easily.

    Like I said, you made a foolish statement. Live with it or learn from it. And unlike you, I can admit when I am wrong, and have done many times. Why? Because it's no big deal. Now keep the pearl clutching debutante. And hey, relax. Nothing here is really serious. I heart you Dino :iloveyou:
