Weeks saved Kovalev's career

I'll be honest, I went too far with that one. Apologies. I'll take the L on that. Those shots were low though. Takes a man to admit he is wrong✌🏿. .... Now just Muz to go

This fight always has extreme opinions because of the stoppage. The truth is there were body shots and low blows, and Kovalev was hurt by BOTH, I think at the time of the stoppage, there were 3 shots, first one was legit, second one was border line and the third one was low. Problem is Kovalev was as much to blame by bending over the way that he did, and the referee should have jumped in and given him a standing count, because after the first shot he was already sitting on the ropes. Weeks didn't do that, and than after he should be breaking up the action and warning Ward for the low shots, but he seemed to miss that window too. Even after that point, why not give Kovalev the count at the very least, and after the count, call a timeout and warn Ward for the shots which strayed low. Stopping the fight was a crap decision in that moment. Having said all that, Kovalev was in a world of trouble, hurt and gassed. You might be right, it possibly prolongs his career and the controversy will always be there. But I think overall the lack of a definitive conclusion hurt a classic rivalry, it hurt Weeks, it hurt Kovalev, and hurt Ward. So all round bad call.

Fight should not have been stopped except to give Kovalev 5 minutes to recover. In fact at the time I assumed Weeks was stopping the fight to give a warning or take a point and give Kovalev recovery time. Weeks is among the worst referees in boxing, second only perhaps to Lawrence Cole.

He saved Kovalev's balls

lol I'm not insecure about anything, I haven't even mentioned race shows how butt hurt you are makes me feel even better https://i.makeagif.com/media/4-29-2016/-Ddiun.gif Tell him:boxing:

He took one headshot followed by three nutshots, this being the last one: https://youtu.be/iLxlV5C4KHY Those final low blows were low but had no effect on the stoppage, Weeks stopped it because he was not defending himself. Kovalev's body was not responding, how many shots did you see him try to counter Ward with?

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 unconcious or out off his feet. 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 Kovalev wasn't defending himself, his body wasn't responding, literally unable to do anything to prevent further damage. Couldn't move off the ropes, couldn't generate any offense, he was taking punishment to the head and body. Weeks extended Kovalev's career, did him a huge favor.

Good take actually. Fight was done, potential low blow or not. People shifting the focus from Kovalev's poor performance to this nonsense seems like a ludicrous deflection. I mean, just who would you Kovalev fans pick in a third fight? Are you telling me you are confident in picking Kovalev over Ward after tonight's fight? I do agree the stoppage didn't do either of them favours. Ward was CLEARLY gonna win this fight, very likely via stoppage in the next rounds, and now you got tons of nutjobs screaming robbery in a fight that lay the pretty significant skill disparity between both fighters bare. The rounds Kovalev won were almost exclusively due to activity, a level of activity he couldn't sustain at all. There was no point in Ward adapting that stupid pace and gassing by the middle of the fight which is what happened to Kovalev. I had some sympathies for the "robbery" screamers in the first fight but 0 tolerance for that rubbish now. Kovalev. Was. Done. It's on tape and for everybody to see. A low blow (and I think only 1 of them was probably too low) doesn't end a fighter like this. He had a terrible gameplan, overpaced himself, couldn't find Ward at all, and was in awful shape in round 8. This is not a robbery folks. Legal or not weeks should have not stopped fight yet.

Ward had Kovalev on queer street with a MASSIVE right hand, Kovalev wasn't defending himself and wouldn't have recovered any time soon. Instead of allowing a brutal beating Weeks showed compassion and stopped it. Great stoppage by the ref, Ward's power is seriously underrated. Legal or not weeks should have not stopped fight yet.

I hate when internet cowards such as yourself needlessly interject race into a subject that doesn't require it. Speaks very lowly of you as a human being. I'll be honest, I went too far with that one. Apologies. I'll take the L on that. Those shots were low though.

Kovalev should be happy those were 3 body shots and not 3 shot on the chin

Brutal? Saved career? Jesus christ, i get it, ward won. But go watch JMM vs Pac or Joshua vs Wlad to see what brutal means The point is he wasn't defending himself
