Legal or not weeks should have not stopped fight yet. Ward deserves an unquestionable win he trained his butt for it, and kova needs to be given a chance for a comeback since he wasn't that hurt.
Khan was given three tries. Even bradley was given benefit of the doubt against provo
Those guys are more hurt imo.
Dont give me that "oh hes gonna get stop anyway" we cant say that to all the greatest comebacks in boxing
The most significant punch in the fight was the right hand counter. You can talk about the low blows until you're blue in the face, Kovalev got wobbled by Ward. He was done!
Kovalev got stopped by Andre Ward! Please let that sink in.
Here's the body punch from before the right hand.
Punched on the white trunk... do I need to say anymore? Kovalev should've took his point loss & went down. Early stoppage... but go down man pic.twitter.com/VoTA1V6j3P— derekdouk (@derekdouk) 18 June 2017
That's not low. :dunce:
Kovalev was gassed and looking for a rest/way out.
Wow the people in the video saying that's a "kidney shot"
Scary world we live in
Yeah I agree it should not have been stopped, the ref don't know they were on the low side of the band every replay Ive seen he couldn't see where they were landing exactly and from camera view they looked on the bottom lip of the band.
Was crazy the stoppage there was a split second where Kov just kind of froze and boom Weeks stops it.
I do believe Ward had his number in the next couple of rounds anyway but Weeks also robbed Ward of a clean stoppage win.
Watch the replays watch where weeks was standing, and watch what hand Andre was throwing with. Tony weeks had a clear unobstructed view of the low blows.
That's what makes it so baffling.
I agree that ward had his number tonight, and was going to either finish him off or take a clear decision.
That really doesn't matter though, Kovalev should have gotten 5 min to recover from the lowblows.
The problem is that the stopped was too fast, the problem is that he was stopped on blatant low blows.
i don't get it. kovalev was being hit low even before he was hurt with that right hand, in fact it was seconds after being hit low and then the BS stoppage. how can this morons defend this? i understand the trolls, but serious posters? lol

Thats not the one we are talking about.
quite shocking... why the fk does the whole establishment favor this guy for?
hitting in the balls and then they say "borderline" ... not to mention the stoppage.
and max kellerman saying "you got hurt by the right hand" and not acknowledging that he got hit low 10 seconds earlier.Spot on right here.
Kov was getting stopped any fool could see that was going to happen, he was fading again in the stretch and many rounds to go. Crap stoppage but it was going to happen anyway.

Ridiculous. Stop it, just stop it. SK got ROCKED with a straight right. He was done. The body blows were just a technically sound finishing attack, by a much more technically sound professional fighter. PERIOD.
