Kovalev was already gassing by the 5th round

[Johnny2x2x]

and ward was hitting him low from the beginning. he knew he would be allowed to get away wtith it so he did it. not sure why you are defending that though. juts because a punch lands partially on the belt line doesnt mean it isnt also low. if wards glove had partially landed on kovs exposed skin part above the belt and partially on the belt line that would be a borderline blow since the belt is the border but a punch that lands partially on the belt and lower is not legal so im not sure why ward fans are pretendign they are legal shots. uninformed on the rules or just wishful thinking?

Get a clue.

Those are two totally legal body shots and there were only 2 others in the whole fight any lower than these two. And Kovalev took the opportunity to turtle from these two totally legal body shots. When I guy pulls his trunks up to his ******* below the white on his belt is totally legal, low blows are not defined by how far a fighter pulls his trunks up or all fighters would wear their trunks up to their under arms. He hit him nowhere near the family ***els the entire fight, and only 2 punches were marginally low. Take any other fight and there are going to be multiple shots lower than the couple Ward through, the only difference is that most fighters try to fight through that, Kovalev used it as an excuse to turtle. PAthetic.

low blows are definded by the ref and he said anything below the belt line was illegal. anything. that punch landed partially below the border(anything below the border falls under anything) you can slow it down and see it lands partially below the border so i suggest doing this on a higher quality version. maybe 75 percent landed on the belt but the other 25 landed low so that qualifies in the anything below the belt is illegal category. sorry you dont like it but that was not a legal shot and a lot of them werent according to the refs own rules. this is why not many people have faith in boxing. fandom trumps getting it right

Weeks clearly said punches on the belt line were legal.

You guys need to cut the crap already, Ward didn't win because of low blows.

kovalev and wart both looked the same to me last night, i don't get this whole "he was done, looking for a way out" thing is coming from, maybe from people trying to justify it. but to me they both look the same, wart was also breathing with his mouth open. plus he was landing low since round 1. are you gonna tell me that kovalev was already looking for a way out after just a few minutes? this was all part of the gameplan

"Wart" What are you, 12?

If it went on, Kovalev would've quit Golota style at the beginning of round 9. The guy had nothing more to offer. HE WAS DONE.
