I still don't understand why the ref didn't give kov a recovery

[Vlad_]

GET OVER IT!!Kov lost and and clear as hell.Look at his face he was done.And i don't consider him a quitter he was just beat!!!!!!!!!Now go back to your picture of him on your wall.I have no interest in talkin to fanboys.Besides you should be happy your boy looked pretty good last week and I would pick him to beat everyone at 75 except maybe Bivul.Now that Ward is retired

Calling low blows for what they are does not make me a fanboy. Having been low blown in rounds 2,6,7,8 with the ref doing nothing would make any boxer discouraged. No pictures on my wall, I don’t worship Kovalev, but I do really like him as a boxer.

"looking for a way out" I think he just wonted the rules to be enforced and was shocked when they were not

Getting your nuts used as a speed bag and the ref saying "its good" will take the fight out of most men

Stop it

Even with the low blows ( although he was bunched over ) He had mentally surrendered before the fight got called off

I believe the round before he tried getting a time out for a supposed low blow that wasn't low.

In the last round he turned his back and also initiated like there was a low blow causing Ward to pause and wait for Weeks to let the fight continue

These are not the actions of someone wanting to fight, Kov fans just need to admit he didn't want it anymore and even if you want to cry that the last couple punches were low ( even though he went defenceless and crouched down ) the fight would have ended soon after that

When I watched it live I thought it was a bit early, But the reality is Kov was mentally broken so if it didn't happen then it would have happened a minute or so down the road and the result would have been the same

Ward bullied the bully end of story

Yes it was a low blow in the previous round. Here is the low blow from round 7 while they were in a clinch, the one you claim was not low.

Round 7 shot during clinch:




And here are the last three "body shots" from round 8...

1/3 Right before impact, in an upward trajectory....



2/3



3/3

Kovalev was discouraged because he had to fight, not Ward, but the ref, judges and the whole boxing community.
He clearly won the first fight second one was tied when Ward started hitting him in the balls.

Are ward and kovalev more physically impressive when live? I mean, do they seem like big dudesw.

those guys would be cool to see live

[tjones1989]

Sergey kov was getting that ass beat, nothing to be getting all riled up about

[ADP02]

Look at the body language of Kovalev nevermind the ref. He looked defeated and wanted it to end. The ref should have let Ward spark Navel Nuts out.

Remember this fight?

Didn't Bowe look like he was defeated and wanted it to end?

[WesternChamp]

Don't they call a fight if a guy is getting beaten on and sort of turns his back to the opponent?

you mean like this?

We obviously won't agree

But to me the last 2 rounds Kov showed that he didn't want to continue

He got bullied

You can say everything was illegal and Weeks should have stopped it whatever to me it doesn't change the fact that Kov didn't want it no more

No unfortunately I didn't see the fight live

Just when I watched the PPV as it happend I thought it was a bit early stoppage

[soul_survivor]

Dont you know that a fight has to be stopped the moment a guy is slightly hurt, regardless of it being a championship bout. There is no need for a count, that's so last century.
