Another dreadful night for boxing. Ward hit Kovalev with 6 lowblows, including the stoppage which was premature. I dont know what referee was seeing and how an idiot like Max Kellerman works for HBO. Clear low blows and even if the right hurt Kovalev, you simply can't stop a fight like that. Embarrassing night for boxing.
I've seen some awful stoppages and this is one of them.
Weeks knows he's made mistake. At worse kov should have got warning g for play acting. What was ward saying to ref when kov was bent over?
Ward said:
"Do it now, remember what we paid you"

lol how could i forget that one :lol1:
we deserve what we have
while this guy is fighting a boxer (16-0-1), the other guy who calls himself TBE is fighting a Bus Driver from Ireland. xD
No, no standing 8 count.
They should have taken points off of Son of Golota and they should have given Kovalev time.
But I guess from now on the rules will change and everyone will be entitle to go for the opponent's balls!
true. We used to look up to boxers like David Tua, Mike Tyson, Tommy Morrison, Roy Jones Jr... how did we end up praising this kind of boxers? When did the low blows became "spectacular finishes"? Are these the idols of future world champions? We got this low with the "running-picking gloves-hugging-buying judges weathers" and the Broners, but now making low blows look like something glorious is a new low point in boxing history.
Literally every time i watch an american sport, they do they national anthem before every game, every advert and comment by the announcer is about the 'brave troops' etc.
They cry at the drop of a hat too mate. They're very emotional.
They're also full of heroes, even if those so called heroes are just doing what they are paid to do. Never seen such ass-kissing on people who get paid handsomely. People who would otherwise have been unemployed. Never seen it in any other country.
Ward fans seem to think low blows are OK because he landed a punch that seemingly hurt kov a few seconds before
American Ward fanboys are basically like brainwashed North korean people.
its like they are repeating the lines of dear leader
'close but competitive fight'
'borderline low blows'
'he was gonna win anyway so the illegal fouls dont matter'
I think it's got something to do with the fact they have patriotism drilled into them from an early age.

I just feel sorry for them that 'their guy' is a total fraud, and anyone that doesnt feel the same way is either:
a racist
a hater
jealous of 'mericans sucess.
or a combination of the above :lol1:
Shame. The full HBO panel are pure bias. Ward had low blows, Kovalev buckled and then the ref stopped it. WTF? Why stop it? Where's the standing 8 count? Let him continue. He could have gotten through the next round and who knows what could have happened. P4P Ward? Not a chance. He was gifted the first fight, now the second was stopped because of low blows that were deemed legit. Silly.

Wards a good boxer but his low blows and constant hugging distracted me from believing he's top 3 p4p
True. Disgusting display and worse that Weeks let him get away with it.
Exactly right. Ward was outboxing Kovalev last night but to negate Kovalev's power Ward cheated and clearly hit Kovalev low numerous times. Ward is obviously the chosen one. Tony Weeks should be sanctioned for incompetence. Truly an embarrassing and disgraceful night for boxing.

Ward is the better boxer, I thought he legit won the first fight via close decision, and he was heading to another victory in this second encounter, but those shots were clearly illegal low blows and the stoppage was horrible.

I called Weeks and told him to stop it in the 8th, I'm rich biatch. LOL
I was looking forward to this fight thinking that this was an authentic night for boxing and it turned out that it wasn't even close
