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

[Vlad_]

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


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

I never said everything was illegal. I showed 4 pictures of 4 separate punches, all of them in the HUBLOT logo. You said we don’t agree. So according to you these shots are legit and you call those body shots? Because when Barrera got similar shots in both the Ward and Valera fights he dropped on the floor almost crying. So again, you saw the photos, and you stand by those shots being legit 100% ?

You dont understand? "Evil" Russian fighting an American fighter in America, American ref who knew what he had to do that night. Use the first chance to get his brother the win, protect him at all cost and get paid handily.

Imagine that fight happening on neutral ground, Ward would have been warned a couple times, taken points away, it would have never even come this far, it would have been a DQ win for Kovalev.

Only in America.

I'll be honest with you

I watched the fight about 4 times in real time and ereased it from my DVR about a month ago

I haven't taken screen shots and broken it down frame by frame to analyze if a couple of the punches landed 2inches below the belt line , but This is starting to come across as another Mayweather / PAC, where Pacs fans are in complete denial about how the fight played out and if you only watch it upside down in slow motion in reverse on a black and white television with a Turkish announcer you will see who the clear winner is.

Like I said Ward fought aggressive and borderline dirty but that's what he needed to do to break Kov and it worked. I don't generally have a problem with those type of fights I congratulated Maidana when he fought Mayweather like that in the first fight because at the end of the day it's a fight and one guy is trying to inflict damage on another person sometime in a sport like this lines get crossed it happens and when it does the fighter can suck it up, retaliate or fold ( mentally /physically )

My perspective is and will always be the fight wasn't that close Ward was pulling away and the last 2 rounds Kov didn't want it anymore and him complaining of low blows , looking for breaks , is evidence of this

If it helps Kov fans sleep better with excuses about corrupt Judges, Refs , Fans , Broadcasters and Ward using illegal tactics was the only way he won. Cool but Kov had 2 chances to prove he was the better fighter and he came up short both times and Ward bullied him in the second.

You bring May/Pac, and all kinds of irrelevant facts to try and change the actual topic.
The fact is Kovalev was boxing Ward and giving him a run for his money, and Ward was doing his best trying to smother Kovalev’s work. You say Ward started to pull away in 7th and 8th, that’s because he started low blowing like it’s nothing. He low blowed Kovalev 6 times in these two rounds. Kovalev was complaining of lowblows because they were low blows. Did you ever wear such a protective cup? When hit low in such a way that the cup bounces upwards, it taps and compresses the nuts. Try sparring for a few rounds, and when you become reasonably tired, keep sparring while tapping your nuts from below every 30 seconds, and see how you feel as a man. See if that takes away your breath, concentration and motivation. You pitch that BS rhetoric of borderline dirty. It was not borderline, it was just dirty. Call it for what it is. Ward did not bully Kovalev, he just couldn’t outbox him the way everyone who claimed him to be some sort of master boxer, chessmaster style, so Ward resulted to pure fouling, without the worry of being taken any points away.

But it’s your boy who RETIRED. Probably hurt his shoulder and knee while picking cotton, and so his body is no longer fit for boxing.

You racist clowns can’t help yourselves, you’re an embarrassment.

Kovalev was hard done by but it’s definitely satisfying to see the souls of racist bastards like yourself burn over those losses.

Lmao cry me a river you oversensitive twat. **** me, anything slightly offensive passes for racism today. The other bltch was pretty much calling all russian alcoholics, but you don’t care for that, do you?
Did the white man take your soul, or something?

Nothing against the white man, they aren’t all racist pricks like you. Justify your racism like a true racist would.

Racism goes both ways, not just from whites towards blacks. Again, why didn’t you say anything against calling all russians alcoholics? And me insulting one man who happens to be half black makes me racist how exactly?

I you look at the body language of the ref, it's like it never crossed his mind.

I've seen fights officiated where belt line groin shots stop the fight, on several occurrences through out the fight.

SMH, he was paid off. He allowed Kov to get illegally punched low several times with no warning at all given. People thought they could make him [Ward] into some other type of a Mayweather or something so they rigged things up for him as had been done his entire career. Too bad he burnt them yet again by taking the money and running.
