Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Stops Sergey Kovalev in Eight To Retain Belts

Like kovaleva and his fans you understand nothing when someone put you in your real place...

You haven't put anyone in any place, lad. Keep trying though.

His dad is white and Irish. I could easily claim him as white as well, he's half white.

I think people are mad because that stoppage was complete bs

Nice try buddy. Obama is half white as well but he is forever known as the first "black president."

Truth is if you have any black blood in you, just like the "Jim Crow Laws," you are considered black.


Nice try.

Was pulling for Kovalev to win, but hats off to Ward. Still have to see if the stoppage was warranted though.

Most thought Kovalev had balls that clanked not cotton balls

Cotton balls Kovalev went out like a weak commie should go out? Begging for mercy and help from others. Andre Ward and freedom won again over communism last night. God Bless America.

Still can't believe Andre Ward knocked out the Krusher. Doesn't even feel right typing it. Andre Ward knocked out Kov LOL.

You don't know Chit about boxing....

Tony Weeks did an excellent job as the 3rd man in the ring last night. Ward's clean body shots to the mid section of Kovalev paid dividends. Ward's big right hand in 8th wobbled Kovalev, and the body attack was relentless...Tony Weeks was right on top of it. Thanks for looking out for the fighters health and safety..

Kovalev with another sexist comment in the post fight ! The female boxer from Detroit, she'll love that !

But the kind of low blows that Ward landed, I've seen that no-called a lot. It wasn't all the way down south, it was on the bottom of the waist band. A lot of refs let that go, some give a "that was low", others guesture to the fighter to bring them up.

Also, Kovalev didn't REACT as if he got hit in the jewels, like every boxer does. He didn't look up to the ref, like that was low! Or he headbutted me! He reacted like a boxer that got hit with a punishing body shot !

[Hype job]

Both the Rigo/Flores and Ward/Kovalev fights ended with KO wins for the Roc Nation fighters from clear fouls. It could just be a coincidence but based on how anxious Weeks appeared to be in stopping the fight, there's a good chance the fix was in. After all, regardless of how much the event grossed, Roc Nation were willing to give Ward a guaranteed purse. It doesn't seem like Jay-Z minds reaching into his own pocket to pay Ward, what else is he willing to do in order to ensure success? Just a thought.
It was a nice punch by Ward that rocked Kovalev but the stoppage was too ridiculous to avoid suspicion.

Andre "S.O.G." Ward #1 P4P
#2 & #3 is between Guillermo "El Chacal" Rigondeaux and Terence "Bud" Crawford interchangeably.

eastern euros dont have the STYLE to beat the ELITE Afrakan "american" STYLE of boxing.
Ward looked like a PRIME Bernard Hopkins in the Late 90's early 00's mixed with some Mike Mccallum
