KOV was looking for a way out. Weeks gave it to him. After that WARD right hand staggered KOV it was over!

I absolutely don't like agreeing with Pauline but he's absolutely right.

[The Hammer]

Worst stoppage ever.

Stopped on low blows!

That's the only thing I don't like about Paulie.. He picks favorites. He was shading his commentary towards the end of the fight and then wouldn't shut the **** up about it for hours afterwards. He had a dog in the race. His dog lost.

Goddamn. What happens? I can't imagine! Me agreeing with Malignaggi??! Finally it happens! And finally he is right.

The best comment i seen today, "of a sudden he stopped the fight, I wasn't even sure what he was doing. I thought maybe he was calling a low blow. The last thing on my mind was that he was stopping the fight right now."
but this time.

Terrible stoppage.

Wrong. After the first low blow in round 8, and I've been told the headbutt, it was over, because those are what led to Kovalev getting hurt with the right hand to the head, which led to the three low blows to the d1ck to finish the fight.

And even with all that, before the last three, Kovalev was actually recovering, and there were only 30 seconds left in the round.

For once Paulie is right. This should have been a DQ, even clearer than the Rigondeaux fight. At least with Rigondeaux they both threw at once, so maybe the intent wasn't there. It was **** **** after the bell. With Ward, that was five fouls in one round, blatant fouls, so you know the intent was there. That should have been a DQ, and I expect NSAC will change it to that if Main Events does a good job presenting the evidence from all the best camera angles they can find from the various broadcasts around the world, as well as any still photographs that captured the point of impact of Ward's punches on Kovalev's groin.

This is an open and shut case. The NSAC will either reverse it to a DQ, or they will prove everyone right about them being utterly corrupt in favor of American "stars."
