Comments Thread For: Malignaggi Shakes Head: Terrible Stoppage in Ward vs. Kovalev

[The Time]

I agree with Paulie that the fight should have been allowed to continue to establish a clear emphatic victory and not allow any room for excuses, disagreements or controversies on the ending of the fight.

I seriously doubt Kovalev would have made it to the 12th round, but the fans should have been given the chance to see a clear, emphatic win where no disputes, excuses or controversies can be voiced.

I agree with Paulie here.

Kovalev wanted out. He had previously turned his back and at the moment of the stoppage he wasn't defending himself properly. When Weeks called it Kovalev walked away. He wanted out.

Why is nobody pointing a finger at Kovalev?

And you have all these crybabies complaining??

Do any men watch boxing anymore?

Is paulie going against ward because he got a ko? Hes usually siding with the nonpunchers

[NEETzsche]

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.

Pretty sure he was openly supporting Ward in the first fight and was one of the few pundits who gave him the win as well

Black week Weaks helped out soul Bro Andre Ward ****** time

What's a brother to do? Week Weaks the ref had to help colored Andre Ward out and Week Weaks came thru in Al Sharpton fashion hosing the commie Kovalev again. That is America and that is fair. God Bless America and Freedom again and again. Let Kovie go back to Russia and cry on wee *****'s shoulder?? God bless Weak Weaks and his unfair decision. Let a champ go out like a true Champion should.

A large group of Black people were the same people rooting for OJ and Cosby to beat their charges - not because they believed they were innocent - but because they were on "Team Black".

Had the roles been reversed, you think "Team Black" would be on here saying that was a fair decision LOL?

I still remember when Mayweather wasn't disqualified when Roger Mayweather entered the ring...

What does that mean? Nothing.

Kovalev got completely outclassed and knocked out by a fighter who is just on another level mentally, physically and spiritually. Kovalev should go back to Russia to beat club fighters to death. He can never compete with the SOG.

Kova was up 3 on one of the judges scoredcards and only down 1 point on the other two...

I had Kova up 5-2 myself like many others, particularly those outside of Zionist media.

I agree with Paulie completely.

A guy should have to be really hurt in order to stop a championship fight.

And this took away from a proper stoppage win that Andre Ward deserved. Today we should be talking about what an epic performance he had, not about any controversy.

Give fights their proper ending.
