Legal or not weeks should have not stopped fight yet. Ward deserves an unquestionable win he trained his butt for it, and kova needs to be given a chance for a comeback since he wasn't unconcious or out off his feet.Ward had Kovalev on ***** street with a MASSIVE right hand, Kovalev wasn't defending himself and wouldn't have recovered any time soon. Instead of allowing a brutal beating Weeks showed compassion and stopped it. Great stoppage by the ref, Ward's power is seriously underrated.
Khan was given three tries. Even bradley was given benefit of the doubt against provo
Those guys are more hurt imo.
Dont give me that "oh hes gonna get stop anyway" we cant say that to all the greatest comebacks in boxingComment

Fight was done, potential low blow or not. People shifting the focus from Kovalev's poor performance to this nonsense seems like a ludicrous deflection. I mean, just who would you Kovalev fans pick in a third fight? Are you telling me you are confident in picking Kovalev over Ward after tonight's fight?
I do agree the stoppage didn't do either of them favours. Ward was CLEARLY gonna win this fight, very likely via stoppage in the next rounds, and now you got tons of nutjobs screaming robbery in a fight that lay the pretty significant skill disparity between both fighters bare. The rounds Kovalev won were almost exclusively due to activity, a level of activity he couldn't sustain at all. There was no point in Ward adapting that ****** pace and gassing by the middle of the fight which is what happened to Kovalev.
I had some sympathies for the "robbery" screamers in the first fight but 0 tolerance for that rubbish now. Kovalev. Was. Done. It's on tape and for everybody to see. A low blow (and I think only 1 of them was probably too low) doesn't end a fighter like this. He had a terrible gameplan, overpaced himself, couldn't find Ward at all, and was in awful shape in round 8. This is not a robbery folks.

Kovalev wasn't defending himself, his body wasn't responding, literally unable to do anything to prevent further damage. Couldn't move off the ropes, couldn't generate any offense, he was taking punishment to the head and body.Legal or not weeks should have not stopped fight yet.

He took one headshot followed by three nutshots, this being the last one: https://********/iLxlV5C4KHYKovalev wasn't defending himself, his body wasn't responding, literally unable to do anything to prevent further damage.

Those final low blows were low but had no effect on the stoppage, Weeks stopped it because he was not defending himself. Kovalev's body was not responding, how many shots did you see him try to counter Ward with?He took one headshot followed by three nutshots, this being the last one: https://********/iLxlV5C4KHYComment

Well Ward was also hurt several times, but getting punched in the balls several times in a row would make any guy stop defending himself. Boxing is a sport with rules, not a streetfight. Kovalev should have been given time to recover from the lowbows and Ward a point taken off. That was dirty.Comment
