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

[johncods]

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

[johncods]

So these should be low blows according to a lot of posters here

There was plenty at the time. It still gets brought up whenever Ward's legacy is mentioned. I thought Kovalev won the first, I think Ward was likely going to win the second, even without idiot Weeks skrewin up the fight. Would have been great to have seen a trilogy. As it is, it's just another boxing sore point.

Very few non-biased individuals think Ward beat Kovalev in a fair fight. Ward had a tendency to foul when things didn't go his way.

Ward hit low, Dubois hit low.

Funny how all the actual clean body punches didnt seem to do much, but the ones that clearly landed way below the line are the “devastating knockout body punches”.

Dude has been getting away with cheating since the Super 6 tourney on Showtime so it’s nothing new.

Kessler was the first victim and Ward has been getting special treatment ever since.

Kovalev got robbed in the first fight for sure.

I remember people saying ward hit him on the belt line and it's legal. Because ward is an american an usyk is a ukranian that's why.

This is the hurtful part about truth. Once the smoke is cleared and Son of Judges won and all the idiots gloat, even years later, we have the footage and see it for what it is. Ward was wining the fight but the low blow fest made Kovalev stop and then the buffet warrior waves the fight off and then in the moment, hey, he won! Yeah!

Years later, though, it's like, he won, but damn. He sure used those low blows to do it. Haha. Ward was such a dirty fighter. But he took advantage of the conditions at the time. What a great guy. And he even invokes God into his name. I'm sure God wants us all to cheat.

Exactly. And then Top Stank's BA commentary trying to claim the Puerto Rican ref was playing ball for Ukrainian Usyk's hometown crowd.....................in Poland. LOL

I loved it when he dropped Ward's punk ass. He got up and smiled and knew he got smashed. And Ward's billygoating against Kessler was horrific. Kessler is much nicer than me. I would have smashed his face and got DQ'd.
