Comments Thread For: Golovkin: Ward-Kovalev Rematch Was Stopped 'A Little Bit Early'

[Real King Kong]

To this day I'm still mad that Richard Steele stopped the fight when Meldrick Taylor got up off the floor in like 2 seconds and was looking him dead in the face. There were ONLY SECONDS left in the fight. Sometimes ***** happens in boxing.

I had seats next to the tunnel at mayweather vs mitchell and when richard steele was coming out to ref the fight i yelled "stop the fight" and waved my arms like i was waving a fight off. He looked at me like guy who got relentlessly bullied in school would look if someone brought it back to the forefront years later. It was a "wtf i gotta do to live this **** down?" Kinda look.

I can imagine the look on his face. He was at forefront of a few questionable calls back in the day. Good on you for that!

"What do you mean?"


Lol! He knows the truth... Better stop crying, guys.

I wonder if Kov bent over like a hooker when GGG drilled him with that body shot. He definitely had GGG flashbacks last Saturday.

I can honestly say I've never seen a fight stopped from body punches with the guy still standing... I've seen guys bloody messes not even get stoped.

That's what I thought??? Where was the count, kovalev was not knocked out

They keep talking about Ward's counter right hand that landed flush as if it was some KO shot, and they keep showing it in ultra slow motion, when in reality all it did to Kovalev in real speed was this:

was what..... ?

wobbled him..... backed him up..... and made him hold at the first opportunity until his head cleared..... just like in the other gif?

Where exactly did you see him hold in that sequence exactly? Ward was the one who jumped in to clinch after eating that jab.

after Ward wobbled him, and backed him up.....

I saw Kovalev back up, Ward threw shots, Kovalev jabbed, and Ward jumped in to clinch. I don't think Kovalev won. I think it was 4-3 Kov (5-2 possible) at time of stoppage. I think we will never know if a comeback from Kovalev was possible because of the terrible stoppage.
But I do see an exhausted Ward after the stoppage:

..... also, what should be the penalty for taking a dive ?





if you were Tony Weeks, and you were not 100% sure about the last punch that seemed to slip low..... and you had just witnessed Kovalev attempt to fake THAT VERY SAME FOUL moments earlier..... who would you give the benefit of the doubt?

serious question, I would like an answer to that

..... and, how come question that did not occur to you guys, as you were burning effigies of Ward in the street?
