Absolute proof Ward blows weren't low

[ippo]

That's a legal punch. Kovalev's trucks are above his navel. Ward hit him on the navel. Legal punch

Where the letters are is where his balls are?Thats a legal punch to you?

[The Big Dunn]

he got hit with 3 low blows in a row while he was trying to recover from a legal shot. you somehow twisted that into kovalev quitting?

He got hit and acted like the shots were worse than they were. He didn't want it anymore.

True but I think a count would have been appropriate...that way Ward could have finished him in a fashion we would agree with


Although a lot of people dislike Ward and wouldn't give him credit anyway, some for his style, some for well other reasons...

How is a count appropriate for a low blow

[TRTboy]

Those low blows take alot out of you. Especially in a grueling fight like that. Weeks was ****ing terrible. He probably had money on ward.

how do you know he acted worse than they felt? are you using your unauthorized teleketenic mind powers again?and im sure he didnt want to be low blowed anymore who does? that doesnt mean low blows are suddenly legal now does it? this is why its best to stick to the rules. that way your subjective feelings dont effect the outcome of fights

He got hit and acted like the shots were worse than they were. He didn't want it anymore.

So because he was hit in the nuts and you think it wasn't that bad, it's ok about the low blow, another idiotic explaination

How is a count appropriate for a low blow

its too bad weeks didnt count how many low blows ward was landing. its too bad boxing fans cant count on the refs to know the rules of boxing. what we can coutn on is fanboys hyping up a tainted win

The reason he was overreacting was so the ref would pay attention at Ward hitting him low.

Post the videos of the low blows. I don't wanna hear any talking I want to see proof.

That was a textbook stoppage. The ropes weren't holding him up so Weeks couldn't rule a KD. There is no standing 8 count. Kovalev wasn't protecting himself. What was Weeks supposed to do?

Bull sh.. Texbook stoppage? From what textbook? I know what I saw in the slow motion replays and so do you. This fight was an embarrassment to boxing and the officiating was a disgrace. Kovalev was there to box. To negate Kovalev's power Ward hit him low. Weeks let him get away with it. Ward is obviously the chosen one in the sport. Laughable.

Quality thread, you are basically explaining what happened with video evidence and people will won't believe their eyes.

People arguing the final low blow while ignoring him being hurt to the head and body in the round and basically looking spent and out of gas are on some next level denial. It's over, you're guy lost, he got his ass kicked. Yes some of the punches were borderline, yes a few might have been low but that wasn't the reason he was stopped. He was beaten by a better man, I also thought the ref COULD have given him a count but he looked done. I also didn't see him argue the stoppage when it happened.

Time to accept that Andre Ward is the leading candidate for fighter of the decade in the 2010's.
