JDJ: There were a couple low blows but you gotta dig down deep if u want those belts

[Mister Wolf]

Haha even his own trainer calling him a *****. Jackson know he getting fired so no more money then no more cooning.

[Kigali]

Weeks blew the call

Kovalev blew the fight.

He was flopping and trying to quit in the 7th.

Dude can dish it out but he can't take it.

[Pigeons]

Both sides are dug so deep in their bias and hatred that they are willing to ignore Kovalev's head trainer admitting that Sergey was finished and he wasn't fighting back.

Yea and they're complaining about the stoppage but Kovalev didn't complain about the stoppage at the time. Very weird.

[future hendrixx]

Kovalev promised to end Ward's career instead he sits on the ropes defenseless forcing the ref to save him. this is what Weeks did in the Castillo vs. Corrales fight. as soon as Castillo hands dropped with his chin in the air he stepped in and stopped it. Castillo was complaining too but what is a ref supposed to do when you turn into a punching bag? Kovalev simply folded up and didn't return fire. he was screaming for a way out.

now everybody gonna hate JDJ for speaking truth. this is the so called Krusher. if the blows were truly low why not just retaliate. he promised a street fight remember.

He quit. His fans will never admit but that he quit. He was on ***** street from that right hand and Ward ripped a beautiful body shot after that that had Kovalev high tailing it out of there. He put his hand down and bent over. He gave up

[Johnny2x2x]

There really is no controversy to this fight. We all saw Ward beat Kovalev. Nothing controversial about it. Only Kov fans are trying to make something out of the stoppage. Kovalev himself knew he was finished, that's why he pulled that garbage in the 7th.

That's exactly right.... what happened to "I will break his hands if he holds" and "I will end his career"???

Kovalev didn't show the fire needed to back up his words at all...

Anyone seen that fight between Freddie Norwood and Derrick Gainer? .... that's what you do if you think you're being hit low and the ref isn't doing anything about it.

[-PBP-]

He's from the American school of fighting. He understands inside fighting and fighters are taught to return fire with fire. You hit me low I hit you low. And it's really not just USA its Central and South too.

Eastern European fighters are phenomenal outboxers and look invincible. Probably the most dominant amateur system right now. But they are used to refs breaking up the clinches quicker, maintaining the fight at a distance and strictly enforced rules. Inside fighting isn't given much credit in the scoring system and body punching is not emphasized. That's why the conversion from amateur to pro is not smooth for everyone.

That's why the Salido fight was too soon for Loma. He had enough fights to gain the experience and learn the tactics that pro fighters use to mentally break you.

That's why you see a big difference between JDJs mentality and Kovalev's Russian trainers mentality.

If you watch GGGs training footage, Abel spends a lot of time teaching inside fighting tricks. He was even trying to teach Sullivan Barrera a few tactics

[SN!PER]

This is all Jackson's fault.

He told him in the corner, "You gotta dig down deep, man!"

Ward thought he meant he's gotta dig his body shots down a little bit deeper.
