Comments Thread For: Ryabinskiy Livid: Ward-Kovalev Stoppage Was F***ing Nuts!

Say wattttt

Imagine if this happened in Russia. A Russian referee stopping the fight with Ward sat down after several low blows, no warnings and then no count at the end. Can we say outrage?

He lost and Wardīs win was legal . I donīt see anything outrageous in his win.Dude started turning his back towards Ward after round 4, I surmise. I mean, you are the Krusher, turning your back is a weak thing to do.STEVE, I will explain one of the facticity of boxing, once again borderline punches are legal. Once you understand this to be true, you will get over it. If what happened yesterday does occur in Russia, it is within the rules that govern boxing.

Low blows. That beautiful right hand came after a low blow that Weeks didn't allow Kovalev to recover from. Horrible officiating. Let's be honest. And the stoppage was a joke. Ward probably stops him in the next round, but he should have lost a point. Terrible performance by Weeks. And Drakulich needs to call it a day.

Kov was tired, gassed and didn't want to continue. The punches were low but not direct in the ball bag. How come no one is mentioning how high kovs trunks were ?

Can Ward win a fight without dirty tactics and corrupt judges and referees. Disgusting and blatantly corrupt. Typical vegas outcome

Kovalev was surprisingly hurt by the straight right hand but the stoppage was wrong as he lowered due to the low blow, not because of a hard legitimate body punch. Terrible refereeing from the man who officiated the first Castillo-Corrales war pretty well.

Yes because vegas wants Ward a non draw because he is nice non ****** to win instead of a better international draw in Kovalev

[bronx7]

What you all are failing to realize is first fight Ward had not fought in over 2 years now rust off better version of Ward almost as good as SM version who cleaned out division

Stoppage early but inevitable Kovalev broken physically mentally and stamina gone was winded sucking air fatigue makes cowards of us all

On the Hublot writing is not legal at all! Ignorance is not a virtue.

Rabbit punching is not legal at all.

Ward landed an uppercut to his solar plexus that wilted him before that low shot.
