The Ward Fans Damage Control

[A-Wolf]

Kovalev lost twice. No need for spin.

HE FEATHER FISTED DOE!!!!LOL

It's easy to land a good right hand when you low blowed your opponent not even a minute earlier. But even though Kovalev was out of breath due to a punch to his balls, and he wasn't even thinking of defending his head, Ward still couldn't drop him with his strongest shot.

You do know the difference between "we winning" and "we won" don't you?

I guess not.

Those shots right before were not low blows. They've been shown numerous times. Clearly on the belt. Care to show these low blows?

The replays clearly showed part of the glove, in one of the 3 shots that landed, starying below the belt. BUt let me ask you this, who said the belt is not a low blow? Kovs trunks were below the belly button (navel), which is almost always regarded as the border for whats low and whats not. The ref changed the rules at the start of the fight.

Who gave him that permission to change the long standing law of boxing on the fly? That's ridiculous. Whats' worse is, the ref himself states "that's low but I'll accept it"...like wtf?

Now, as I keep saying, moving away from the low blows, accepted or not, why was the fight stopped?

No matter how big of a ward fan you are, you cannot honestly say that you're happy with the way the fight ended.

Low blows or not, that was a BS stoppage that also robbed Ward of a clear and legitimate stoppage that he probably would have gotten had the fight continued.

Yes it's a win, but like the first fight, a tainted win.

[The Big Dunn]

I guess not.

We won is claiming victory. We winnin(g) is an urban colloquialism that means we are happy and celebrating because Ward won.

Look at the three body shots between 1:48-1:45 of the 8th round. The first was a low blow, second was a low blow, third one was legal. Then Kovalev bent in pain but the ref told them to keep fighting.

tko stand for technical knockout not tainted knockout. The win isn't tainted even though the stoppage was bad.
