Why was Andre Ward no disqualified by the low blows against Kovalev??

[johncods]

The narrative around it is ridiculous. Shot was low, ref called it low immediately after impact.
Body shots have a delayed reaction, in this case Usyk went down instantly.

Lol not all body shots have a delayed reaction.. Especially the ones in the mid section but nice try lol

You telling me those are clean but Dubois body shot isn't? Lol Where all the uproar from these illegal blows?

When a boxer showed he didn’t like body shots. I’d work his body. Too many boxers are head hunters and you can literally SEE they are soft in the belly.
YES, sometimes the blows go a little lower. So do fooken sit-up lazy fooks.
I did a thousand sit ups a day. I got hit clean on the belt line. NEVER BOTHERED ME. Only soft guys complain as well as casual boxers.
Ward hit very regularly borderline low. Personally I think he should have had 1 point take away.
People forget that those belt lines on boxers are GROIN PROTECTORS They also wear CUPS.

It's been 6 years, you can admit the shots were low as ****.

Can I admit that some of those body shots were borderline yes! However, Low? Fuck no! Kovalev mentally checked outta that fight the moment that Dre began to get too rough and physical with Sergey Kovalev on the inside.

Those body punches were starting to hurt and take its toll on Sergei. Which subsequently forced him to surrender and quit by waving the white flag.

We'll never know how the fight would have played out if Weeks hadn't stopped the fight, instead of warning Ward for hitting low. I'm not just going to assume the fight was a forgone conclusion. I get that you like Ward but it's clear as ****ing day that those shots were low. I've always wondered about Ward's sudden back marks on that night too, but that's a topic for another day.
