I wanted Kov to smack Ward HARD , but to be honest he lost the fight , is ward the cleanest fighter in the game ? no , but this wasn't anything drastic , he showed class when he hurt Kovalev at one point with a legit punch to the body and instead of ENDING him he was so surprised he looked at the ref while kov was recovering doing nothing and the ref said lets go and he didnt , hitting below the belt is not a DQ , even if you take a point from Ward on one of those punches , Kov was DONE , he had no offense once he gassed and he 100% wouldve been beaten in the last 4 rounds , it was over and ward was the better man , no shame in saying that.
Why do you think Ward turned and looked at the ref, instead of following up, after Kovalev doubled over from those two punches to the lower part of his waist band?
I'll tell you why - and it had nothing to do with class or sportsmanship from Ward - the reason he turned and looked at the ref was because earlier in the fight Weeks had given him a warning for hitting Kovalev in the exact same place.
Those punches landed low on the waistband, below the navel .. they were low blows, and they took the steam right out of Kovalev, who was looking a little tired but still coming forward throwing punches till he took them.
Was Krusher done, or did he think he'd been fouled and was looking for the ref to do something about it?
We'll never know know, because when Kovalev sat down on the bottom rope after clearly being hit low again .. Weeks stopped the fight immediately.
I'm already ok. You are the one with the obsessive need to convince fans like me that the rules of boxing shouldn't apply to Andre Ward.
well if u cared about the rules ud be speaking on all of kovs illegal tactics in the fight, they have been posted in video format. u are played out bro lol
I promise you will be okay, the first step is acceptance, 2nd looking forward to better days, 3rd getting some pssy!!!!

That's nonsense. Kovalev is talking about moving up to CW and getting a new coach.
How the heck does that translate into him saying he didn't get hit low by Ward?

who made ur signature? that is cool as hell from doom lol
It's from Quake 1 I found it off google. I was going to ask someone to shoop Kov's face in round 8 (where he's grimacing from a bodyshot) onto one of the ranger faces.
Are you up to the task?
Kovalev hasn't looked good his last 3 fights. Hagler said it best, it's hard to wake up and run 8 miles when you are laying on silk sheets.
:lol1::lol1::lol1: That is a gem right there.
You've got to seriously question this imo. He's had 3 fights since the Sharapova scandal broke, and he's not looked the same in all of them.

smh at these conspiracy theories
Seen it, he didn't look as bad as he did in the Ward fights. But that's also due to the body work as well
calibre of competition plays a part
Kovalev never had to fight anyone as talented or hungry as ward...it showed in the ring
Chilemba and Hopkins came to win but after a while came to survive, Pascal too.
everyone else he obliterated so his cardio was never fully tested at the highest level like wards has....the kid has a lot of championship rounds and i said that would play a part.
The truth is, Kovalev always been 4 round fighter, even before that Chilemba fight. Even when he talks about fighting Beterbiev in amateurs, he said he looked better in the first rounds and got tired eventually. That's what he said. Hopkins fight? It had a much slower pace than Chilemba or Ward fights that's why he looked better

I don't even like Kovalev, but saying he grew up on silk sheets....lol
I respect you for sticking to your word, most have given up. Kov even threw that excuse out the door, u are on another level bro!!!

Ward was hitting Kovalev with low blows. The ref ignored them. Whether or not people keep coming here to say that doesn't alter the fact .. it happened.

I see the the kov defense threads gassed out just as fast as kov himself... this guy lost all the way around

To be fair, what else is he gonna say? he is teh S&C of the figther who gassed thats basically his resume and he has to explain that to potential new employers./
He'll be fine, because he kinda has proof in Sanchez and JDJ. Sanchez says he's hard to train, JDJ says he doesn't listen in the corner, so this is just the 3rd person who has negative feedback on Kovalev, it's not like the first.
