Comments Thread For: Duva: Not a Great Chance That We'll Win Kovalev's Protest

[kafkod]

It's day 3 and not one single kovalev fan has posted a video or gif that shows the first two punches of that 3 punch sequence as low.

I haven't seen any gifs from Ward fans showing that any of those 3 punches were legit either.

But as you don't seem to get it, allow me to point out that you don't have to punch somebody in the groin 3 times in succession for it to be a foul. Once is enough. And if you had ever been in a boxing ring yourself you would know why.

It's an open and shut case. It should get changed to a DQ, but the NSAC is corrupt. Duva is feckless though. She wanted Kovalev to hit Ward back low, but she's not willing to hit the NSAC back? Then stfu Duva because you have no guts. The NSAC is clearly corrupt, but has she used the word "corrupt" once? No, she's too scared. The NSAC's corruption has cost Kovalev millions in future earnings, but has Duva contacted the FBI to investigate the NSAC? Has she filed a lawsuit? No, so she deserves to get walked over by the NSAC and the other more connected people in boxing for the rest of her life as a promoter, just like she's been walked over by them for the last two decades without doing **** about it other than gush over how professional and wonderful the NSAC is the day before the rematch happened, even after they robbed her fighter last time LOL!

Keep barking Kathy, you ain't got no bite, and the NSAC knows this, which is why they don't care what you do or say because they know your complaints are toothless.

We haven't seen anything yet. Wait till the Mayweather/McGreggor circus rolls into town.

I loved Don Turner's interview during the press conference when Kathy was sitting up there b1tching and complaining. Basically said she sounded like a f.uckin idiot and needed to STFU.

Oh yeah.....he was Team Kovalev.

They definitely didn't become ward fans since 95% of kovalev's fans are racist just like he is. But they all abandoned kovalev and hitched their wagon to golovkin now. Too bad he's going to be exposed in september even worse than kovalev was. These European "boogeyman" just don't have any heart when adversity slaps em in the face. You bully the bully and they'll crumble.

Lol, good stuff! Yes, can't wait for little g to get sand blasted by Canelo. Well after that they will still have Lomo who was at the fight and was upset about the stoppage.

Because Stevenson knows Kovalev's weakness and Stevenson hits harder then Ward.

He also WAY less technical and his windmills are amateurish at best. A REAL boxer will see those a mile away.

Kovalev's team know that got beat fare and square but because they were low blows they want to use that as the excuse. Imagine for a minute if the roles were reversed.

I can't imagine Ward ever leaving USA in a professional fight, much less twice going to Moscow for a championship fight - and I have a vivid imagination.

But if Ward was low blowed in Moscow and the ref just waved the fight off without a count I thing any orbiting astronaut would hear the howls of protest.

I'm still of the opinion that Weeks denied Ward as much as he failed Kovalev a fair shake of the dice. Which is a shame as then there probably wouldn't be these threads.

I'm not mad at Ward - great competitor >Boring and dirty fighter IMO but great competitor - but I am disgusted with the refereeing and the NSAC corruption.

When it comes to Vegas it's starting to become a toss up as to whether the B side will get a fair shake of the dice - and that can't be right and That can't be good for boxing.

He was inept for not calling a knockdown ropes holding him up and letting fight continue then Kovalev woukd really get kod

This! Plus - he went down on a barrage of low blows so what the ref should have done is

a/ warned Ward,

b/ called it a non knock down and given him time to recover

c/ OR - at the very least - given him a ten count and then asked him if was ready to continue.

If he was ready to continue he might have made it to the bell or he might have been clean ko'd - we can't be sure.

There's that phrase ".. that's why they fight the fights" so all the talk stops and we get a conclusive result. All this fight did - and the first one, was create more talk. So the second fight was arranged to clear up the first fight controversy - now Weeks played a massive part in creating more controversy.

Ward even said , paraphrasing, " .. none of this is my fault" so he himself indirectly admitted that Weeks screwed up.

Take that L and stop crying

He also WAY less technical and his windmills are amateurish at best. A REAL boxer will see those a mile away.

While true he's still a decent body puncher with a 4 1/2 in reach on Kovalev

Kathy Duva isn't optimistic that the protest her promotional company has filed on behalf of Sergey Kovalev will change anything. She still feels that what occurred during the Andre Ward-Sergey Kovalev rematch Saturday night in Las Vegas needs to be addressed with the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

so basically, Duva is lodging an official whine with the commission, despite the fact that she knows it is lacking substance, and will have no merit..... just so that they can be "on record"?

she should spend those legal fee's on 2 plane tickets to Montreal, and actually try to get Sergey back on track
