The KO8 should stand. Kov should go to the dr. And get a testiclelectomy and get his balls sewn back on. That's why he never reacted like someone that actually gets hit in the balls.Comment

if kovalev wasn't starting to tire and look bad i'd be more disappointed by the mistakes weeks made that led to the end of the fight. ward may have gotten a stoppage anyway, and was almost surely going to coast to a decision with all the momentum he had, but the ending of htat fight was a joke.
no, the result shouldn't be overtuned. weeks made a bad call. it happens and there's really no precedent as far as i can tell for a case specifically regarding low blows that were not called. it was a headshot that got him going, after all. but that headshot came only an exchange or two after a blatant, hard low blow. kovalev wasn't once given a full 5 minutes to recover.
weeks looked bad after that one. smells a bit fishy, but again, i'm not goign to go crazy because ward was starting to win the fight and i still think the better fighter won.Comment
