Idk it was kind of a quick stoppage. I don't think Kovalev was necessarily hurt. He was more gassed than anything. Just tired. I think Weeks should've given him a standing 8 count, have it counted as a KD and asked him if he wanted to continue. That would've been more appropriate.
If Kovalev got out of that round he might have been okay. That 1 minute rest could do wonders to a fighter.Comment

Myself too, the first fight I didn't think their was anything in it after the rematch Ward has clearly learnt and progressed, I wouldn't say Kovalev has regressed I just don't think he has progressed. Mentally Ward will always have an edge over him.
Said it before and I'll say it now I think Hunter is the difference.Comment

There's a reason why Kovalev hunched over like that, and it wasn't a low blow. It's because body shots ****ing hurt.
Unless Kovalev has his meat and two veges sticking out of his lower abs? I know a few of you around here haven't had your balls drop yet, but I'd suspect Kovalev ain't riding that high.
Ward battered him, to the point where he was offering nothing back and just wanted to get out of there. Anyone crying robbery needs to go away, and leave the discussion to boxing fans who don't act like that just had a brick dropped on their head.

It's crazy how the Ward fans process stuff. Ward landed his best right hand, and Kovalev's legs wobbled for a second, he didn't even lose his knees, and they all act like there was KO potential. Maybe there was, maybe there wasn't, but after the flurry of NUTshots, which they call masterful body work, Kovalev was to have a 5 minute break to regain himself, and it would have been a totally different fight. After that if a knockout came, so be it. But the same goes for Kovalev. There was potential that he gets Ward with his right hand in rounds 9 through 12. Or maybe it would have been another close decision. But as it was, NUTshots were counted as a TKO and that is a stain on Kovalev's record, and a fake bonus for Ward's.Idk it was kind of a quick stoppage. I don't think Kovalev was necessarily hurt. He was more gassed than anything. Just tired. I think Weeks should've given him a standing 8 count, have it counted as a KD and asked him if he wanted to continue. That would've been more appropriate.

Lets see fake ass ward take his low blows refs and judges to russia or anywhere else for that matter and see how he gets on!!!!!
The wrong that is the first fights result would be righted and a L on hero wards record first off, then ward would be warned and maybe point taken from his second fight and see how that goes!! ****ing boxing is corrupt no doubtComment

You hear "don't leave it in the judges hands" all the time. I'm my opinion you can apply that same logic to the ref.
I do agree the last punch was south of the belt line, however, not protecting yourself while hunched over, after clearly being hurt is not a good look. Add no standing 8 to all the other elements leaves nothing but taking a knee. That's if you want to continue.Comment
