Comments Thread For: Ward: To Talk Low Blows, Must Mention Kovalev's Rabbit Punches

[jaded]

I don't know why Sergey didn't hit him back in the cup even harder when he had the chance. It's the only thing you can do to neutralize that type of thing.

[PunchyPotorff]

if Ward was a dirty fighter, or even really desperate, he would have drilled Kovalev when he had the chance instead of holding back

He did. Maybe you missed the b.s. stoppage: https://j.gifs.com/wjWQlr.gif

exactly! I was yelling at the tv for wards dumbass to attack that dirty russian.... Ward could hve landed 3 shots and he just stood there lol

Actually, it usually only takes one of these type illegal blows to end a fight... for the guy who THREW the punch... NOT the recipient.... https://j.gifs.com/wjWQlr.gif

No tears or excuses... You're the ones who have to find justifications to explain why Ward won every single time... It wasn't clear, but he was gonna stop him anyway, Kovalev was gonna quit.... But, but, but. Bla bla bla... Coulda, shoulda, woulda. He didn't. It ended in BLATANT LOWBLOWS and now you clowns are trying to justify it. Hahahahaha pathetic.

Kovalev did not like that body-work

in the gif below, Kovalev clearly feigns a low-blow

BOTH punches were legit, right on the belt

Kovalev was making excuses and looking for a way out

and that is not the only time he tried that trick

he did the exact same early in the fight




Kovalev CLEARLY did not like that body-work

playing football, Kovalev would have looked like this

I'm on record saying the first fight was close. I can see why people though Kovalev won, but it wasn't a robbery. None of the things you mention, from the right that wobbled him, hardly a Zab Judah Tszyu type wobble, to him being on the ropes at the end change the fact that he was hit with two borderline low blows when he bent forward and the stopped by a definite low blow when the ref called it off. Other Ward fans can see it was a bad stoppage, trying to spin it when we have clear replays showing it was a low blow just makes you look bias. Have you ever seen a top level fight stopped like that? Was the last shot low or not?

yes, it was

were either of these punches low..... ?



..... well, then why did Kovalev act like those punches were low and try to milk a foul?

you say that I won't admit it was a bad stoppage..... not true, Weeks should have allowed the fight to continue..... but what I am saying is, you guys won't admit that Kovalev was taking a dive, and that he was done

on a slightly different note, and just for fun..... what is worse, a couple of punches slipping low, or taking a dive?

I wouldn't like to accuse someone of taking a dive ala Bhop vs Dawson, but I do think Kovalev looked gassed and probably wanted to buy some time by milking the borderline shots ala Bhop Calzaghe. As it turned out the ref wasn't having it, but then came a real one that somehow counted as a knockout blow. It was disappointing, because the fight wasn't bad up til then and I'd got up early hours here in the UK to see it like the fan that I am. Instead of seeing a decisive result we got the controversial one that leaves everyone feeling cheated and like you've wasted your time.

I did not waste my time

simply because I do not run with excuses

Ward > Kovalev..... /story.....

no time was wasted, other than the time Kovalev spent milking fouls

I don't run with excuses. I got up to watch a fight and see it to its legal conclusion, and I didn't see that. I saw a low blow stoppage. However you want to spin it.

You see the right uppercut you showed, that if you had ever wore a protector you'd know how that shot moves the cup it rides up into your nuts. Not the equivalent of the last low shot but it hurts and it's illegal. You guys are talking like it's Mike McCallum level body work. Yeah maybe Kovalev was looking for a point deduction, yeah maybe he was tired, but "good bodywork" don't look like that.
