If Andre Ward fought Kovalev in a neutral location with neutral officials..

[daggum]

1-2-3-4 or whatever the ref would of considered it still would of made some kind of difference
His way was not working
I would of went down maybe could of changed something anything
Maybe they would look harder(judges or ref) at these low blows
I thought most were legal and not ignorant he probably did get some low but him bending over did not help that situation

you think kovalev could afford to take a knockdown after how they robbed him in the first fight? no way. there was no good option for him the ref is supposed to be there to protect the fighters but he let a couple clear low blows go and stopped the fight on low blows. it was a terrible performance from weeks but he did what he was supposed to. this same guy let danny garcia low blow mattysse the entire fight and let him rabbit punch him into the ropes and knock him down instead of seeing the foul

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

they werent fake.... i mean we have the video. every time he complained and bent over he was clearly hit low so i dont think this is going anywhere. you are just going to say the same thing which flys in the face of reality. you are just going to call him a coward because ward was able to get away with low blowing him. really shocking but some people dont care as long as their guy wins. same thing happened to floyd and the ref stopped the fight as he should. floyd was not a coward and lookign for a way out. he was getting a rest like he should. same rules should apply to kovalev but they didnt and thatas the whole problem.

None of these were low son and watch how kovalev crying wanting some help lmfao MAN IT THE **** OFF! Kovalev officially kicked off the WAR TEAM! We dont accept no bitchies and we dont really care to argue with bitch sympathizers either! SO DEAL WITH IT AND FUCK OFF!

If ward fought kesssler and kovalev in their backyards he would have 3 losses.

2 DQ and one decision loss.

The kessler figh was the worste

I need to rewatch this fight. I forgot how bad Ward was giving him the work.

really? round 10 to ward when it was a dominant kov round? thats pretty unfair dont you think? and the ref ignored clear low blows and told kov to keep fighting? thats fair how? oh yeah and he mind boggingly stopped the fight after 3 straight low blows. that was fair? you can pretend that it didnt happen all you want but those things happened.

Round 10 was a round that could have gone either way. It went to Ward on the judges scorecard, that is a FACT.

The shots Ward landed on Kovalev were borderline shots. Borderline means borderline, look up the definition if you have to. Kovalev did get hit with a CLEAN body shot at one point in the fight and folded up while complaining to the ref, Ward backed off, let the ref make his judgement and then went back to work when it was confirmed legal by the ref, and to us fans confirmed legal on the replay. That is also a FACT.

Right before the fight ended, Ward hit Kovalev with borderline shots and Kovalev bent forward because of how badly he was hurt by them. Bending forward like this will make shots look lower than they actually are due to body position, and it may also make body shots stray lower than intended due to the body position. Another FACT.

How can you pretend that Ward didn't beat Kovalev in the first fight by decision and then didn't come back to stop him in the second fight?

he was giving him so much work that the scorecards were even, before the testicular knock out

[Graz]

If those were the stipulations do you think he would have taken the fight?

That's an excellent point.

Ward would beat up Kovalev anywhere, he's a better fighter and if they fought for a third time I think he'd win in a similar fashion maybe with more dominance.

[jackkeane6]

Kovalev is superior to Ward. The judges won the first fight, the referee won the second. Ward was low blowing from the 2nd round because he doesn't know how to box properly. I'm just praying that I get to see the cheating c*nt knocked clean out before he retires.

[eco1]

He would have lost the 1st fight and the second he would have gotten a few minutes and Ward would have gotten a point off.
