I never saw you give a straight answer on any issue. You seem to never pick any sides, you're just going from thread to thread, always posting in a sarcastic manner.Comment

The final punch Andre Ward landed was a low blow. To dismiss it entirely is intellectually dishonest; to pretend it didn’t happen a lie. To say emphatically it ended on three straight low blows would be both of those things as well. The shot that ultimately drew the stoppage, bending Kovalev forward with a grimace and sitting into the ropes, was clearly below the belt. Take into account a high belt line indicated before the fight by referee Tony Weeks.Comment

I had made a few serious posts closer to after the fight, have been trolling more lately. I couldn't find the post I wanted to share with you from my posting history, but I will say that I think Cliff Rold's take on the fight was excellent.

indeed.....
and, he entirely agreed with my take.....
"Weeks wasn’t watching the result of a single punch. He was watching the culmination of a series of shots that had Kovalev reeling and then sitting on the ropes, a man who was doubling over in the first place from clean body and head shots accumulated in the seconds prior".

It's the same situation Golovkin is in. The trainer shooting off his mouth. Sanchez who I think is a good coach does it more often though.Comment

I agree. I thought it was a very interesting fight with a spoiled ending. Ward is a tough cookie.Comment
