Comments Thread For: Duva: Ward Should've Been DQd; Kovalev to File Protest With NSAC

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS Kathy Duva didn't know what to say. Sergey Kovalev's promoter has been involved in boxing for nearly 40 years and she never has seen something like what she witnessed Saturday night. After watching video replays of Andre Ward's eighth-round technical knockout of Kovalev in their light heavyweight championship rematch at Mandalay Bay Events Center, Duva is certain Ward should've been disqualified for repeatedly hitting Kovalev with low blows.

Duva upset her only fighter exposed as a no stamina bully who breaks mentally when you take his power and fight back

They were fighting rough whole fight are we forgetting Kovalev rabbit punches? He has no inside game. Last finishing punch slightly below belt line did not hit ***els

[bronx7]

Regardless after sizzling right 20 unanswered head and body shots ended with him sitting on ropes exhausted after 5 th round.

She has no fighters now she is frustrated.

While I agree the punches on replay by HBO looked to be hitting the humboldt logo on Kovalev's shorts, he was done and gassed. The referee should've given him a count which is what is supposed to happen in that situation but the scorecards wouldn't have mattered they had Ward winning on two of the card which just goes to show this was going to be controversial one way or another.

Good. If the NSAC wants to salvage any credibility, they will have to turn this to a no contest, as that's clearly what it was. Third fight is badly needed but I know Ward will duck.

Blame Kovalev they let him run his camp train how and when he wants it really works after 5th round both fights gets winded

"the referee did not protect sergey" lol wtf

this is the "Krusher" we're talking about? the guy that promised a street fight and to end Ward's career.

when you're hunched over like a b*tch and not defending yourself what you're doing is screaming for the ref to save you. Kovalev wanted a way out.

did Tony Weeks protect Ward from nonstop rabbit punching? oh let me guess those aren't illegal now.

did Tony Weeks protect Floyd in the Maidana fight? Floyd had a stronger case for having his opponent DQ'd.

sht even JDJ said Kovalev forced the ref to stop it by not protecting himself. all he had to do was throw punches and Weeks would not step in.

stop crying Kathy your fighter is a coward.
