Jim Lampley on Ward-Kovalev

[Larry the boss]

[Mammoth]

They still won't listen...

[Curt Henning]

the boxing media in general has praised ward......but thats not enough....when they gobble ggg and make excuses their word is bond....but now they are ignored

Nothing that we don't already know or disagree with. Jim Lampley Is the man, with a ton of boxing knowledge and It Is kind of Ironic that he Is the one being used to make your point considering he Is bashed every other day on this board. Oh well, use It to fit your agenda.

No one disagrees that Kovalev was finised, they are disagreeing with the stoppage ending on an Illegal blow.

What you Ward-turds don't seem to understand is that I am only interested in the technicalities of the rules. It doesn't matter if Kov was trying to quit or completely out of the fight before the last few punches. If the glove was any bit below the belt in the last punch, Ward has to be DQ'd. Simple as that.


When will you guys learn

Why, cause you don't like Ward? Boxers get DQ'd for intentional fouls with multiple warnings, that doesn't describe Ward-Kovalev II. Ward didn't intentionally do anything but beat Kovalev's azz!

The fact that Ward's last punch was low proves Kovalev is the superior fighter. If the TKO is not overturned soon I will lose all respect for this rigged sport.

Some day you'll all wake up and realize that Kovalev really won this fight fair and square

Do we have to watch it in slow motion to see Kovalev winning?

I recommend watching it backwards. As the fight plays, you'll hear the commentary getting more and more positive for Kovalev, allowing you to feel the relief of Kovalev taking over the fight. It helps me sleep at night.

Jim Lampley is a good commentator, but he's also emotional and lets it get in the way sometimes. His bias was glaringly obvious when Naseem Hamed and Mayweather were on the scene. He hated them with a passion - for no reason whatsoever. A good blow by blow and humorous commentator, but skews his opinion when he talks about boxers he simply doesn't like for personal reasons.
