Comments Thread For: Tony Weeks Owes Apologies to Sergey Kovalev and Andre Ward

[uppercut510]

IBF, WBA, WBC, AND WBO TITLE FIGHTS DO NOT HAVE STANDING 8 COUNTS

KOV should have taken a knee instead of folding into a fetal position. we already see he faked low blows earlier in the round which nobody wants to discuss. So if either weeks had to stop the fight OR KOV SHOULD HAVE TAKEN A KNEE TO RECOVER INSTEAD OF LOOKING TO THE REF FOR HELP

[Smash]

Finally some sense, maybe it will shutup those delusional ward supporters, hes admitting he made a huge error, ****ing ward, if its not his judges its his ref, now forced to make an apology after reviewing the clear as daylight evidence he had no choice but to issue that apology

Keith Idec always writes stuff to make white fighters look good, he is always putting down Andre Ward too, not the first article.

I don't know who this writer is but i know he isn't reporting facts, if you want people to respect you as a journalist then you have to be unbiase and report facts.

You cannot spew your opinion in an article and then claim its the gospel. I totally disagree with this article and if he already had a bias towards Ward then this article makes all the sense in the world.

Am still waiting for the THREE low blows that he claimed in this article.

there was NO Standing 8 count in that fight bro. hopefully this is something posters can let sink in before posting, otherwise good post

there doesnt need to be a standing 8 count when the fighter sits down on the ropes. The referee should consider that a knockdown and initiate a count.

Hopefully this is something posters can let sink in before posting.

I guess you missed the part it was a fake tweet? Yall fools read what you want any dummy know that kov had his belt way up and the punches were on the belt which is legal smh

I would discuss it, am thinking because he faked those previous low blow, bend over like he was folding in half made Weeks think he was done.

yeah, it's kovalev's fault ward hit him low, and weeks didn't call it


shame on you, sergey!

[Vadrigar.]

It is now confirmed that the last punch is a legit body shot. Weeks steps in and puts the racist out of his misery.



Sergey Kovalev- "On the border"

[The Time]

Word for word this article is what goes through the minds of a neutral boxing fans when they think of last Saturday night

Yeah I agree that for neutral, honest, objective fans, this article hits home on most points.

[Ake-Dawg]

And you may be right. At least it would have been more definitive though. A fight shouldn't be stopped on a low blow. The last punch was a low blow.

Point is, this has been ongoing and ongoing on how the fight ended. Where if the fight went on, Ward would have likely had an emphatic win and we wouldn't still be talking about this and dealing with this today on Thursday.

Question is, if a person is a fan, watches the fights objectively, and understands when a guy is beaten mentally, why continue to argue the results of the fight. What is the point of folks continuing to bemoan low blows and early stoppages when nothing is going to change the result and the ending was inevitable to even the slightly trained eye.
