Comments Thread For: Mikhalkin: Ward's Blows Were Low; Loss Didn't Diminish Kovalev

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Igor Mikhalkin considers Sergey Kovalev to be the same ferocious fighter he was before Andre Ward stopped him in their rematch. Ward hurt Kovalev badly with a right hand in the eighth round June 17, before landing several questionable body blows that caused referee Tony Weeks to stop their light heavyweight championship rematch in Las Vegas. Russia's Mikhalkin thinks that controversial loss, coupled with his unconvincing unanimous-decision defeat to Ward in their first fight 15 months ago, motivated Kovalev to regain the status he lost to the since-retired Ward.

in before the fangirls get here

' stop crying'

' lol salty kkkovalev fans'

' close and comeptetive fight he lost clearly both times'

[gspm23]

100% agree with Mikhalkin on that and still don't understand how people can say Kovalev got 'knockdown' with these kind of shots. When I get nutshot while sparring, I just stop and need times to recover.. can you imagine 3 lowblows in a row???? Did you already experienced something like that? Ward should have lost a point and Weeks should have give times to recover from these lowblows.
Lots of people commenting here are such biased, it's simply unimaginable.. All this trashtalk because he's Russian. If Kovalev would have 'knockout' Ward with 3 lowblows in a row, what would you have to say? That Kovalev knock Ward?? Not so sure about that.
Shame on you people.

Oh and I have to mention ; I was rooting for Ward, at the beginning, since I can't root for Kovy since he demolished my favorite fighter (Pascal). Since I'm not biased, I was really mad Ward won the first fight ; I had Kovy leading 7 to 5.

Stop crying, will some of you say ; I don't cry, I just point out what most people can't accept.

Ward had to cheat to win. As much as that hurts people to come to terms with it. He couldn't get the job done fairly

[turnedup]

Kovalev was going to lose that fight anyway, from the camp to the fight itself it was a lost cause. The low blows just put an icing on the cake for him but he wasn't going to win that fight, he wasn't all there mentally and you could see it from the lead up to the fight and how they were in damage control rather than focused on fighting one of the best active fighters in the sport. The low blows didn't change the outcome of the second fight.
