    Tom Hauser gonna Tom Hauser

    But I think given that some people were upset with the outcome, and that Kovalev's team protested the stoppage, NSAC was gonna end up reviewing tape of the ending anyway. I don't think it's a big deal that HBO jumped the gun to provide that tape.

          said it the other day, casual fans often analyse fights better than people on here and so called 'experts' because they just call it as they see it, dont overcomplicate things and dont have agendas.

            And yet if you check the boxing scorecard apps you will see similar results with the media scorecards. I saw someone post an image in another thread with 676 people combining for a card of 67-67.

            Again, most people thought the fight was very competitive. Overextending what a couple of your friends or a couple of people thought on social media does not form an accurate picture of what the fight was like.

                Duva is going to get laughed up trying to overturn because the replay is really not in her favor having seen all the youtube videos even the videos in which people are trying to scream "LOW BLOW" most of them was RIGHT ON THE LINE!

                Now unless Kovalev is deformed down their, it is NO ***ING WAY he was getting hit in the Nuts

                The Protest should be more about Weeks decision to call the fight and that CAN'T be overturned!

                    it was a competitive fight, agreed. but one card had kovalev up by 3 points, hbo had him up by 2 or 3 too. kovalev was winning the fight and the fight got stopped due to a bull**** stoppage and multiple low blows. it doesnt matter what people think might have happened after in the later rounds. it got stopped on a foul. the whole card was a farce.

                      Well I think they ran the broadcast so they have all of the video and angles. I don't think its about help, I think its about getting it right. HBO by far was running the show so they have videos. It's like the Rigondeaux fight before it, when the Refs called the HBO bus to see if the punch landed after the bell. It's not about helping anyone out, its about shedding light on what happens.
