Comments Thread For: Froch Tears Apart Andre Ward: He Beat Kovalev With Low Blows

[Vodkaholic]

Idk about the offers about fighting in wembly/nottingham but everything froch said is true. Lmao i would never rewatch a ward fight

[Vlad_]

most cards had kovalev up so i dont know where you get that from. ward wasnt really doing much clean work in that fight. more wrestling, more holding and hitting, more low blows sure but kovalev was still the one landing the cleaner work.

cept thats not true. we have the video. they were low. just because you want them to be legal doesnt mean they were. please post the video of a legal body punch that kovalev "faked" a punch that didnt stray below the k of kovalev's trunks. i dont think it exists. ive seen people post the misleading gif of 2 punches to kovalevs sides where he turns away but this of course omits the huge low blow that happened right before the gif starts. i guess whatever it takes to get your point across. even if its dishonest

Funny how these clowns are saying it would have been a guaranteed KO still because of that right hand Ward landed. Yarde landed a series of much stronger punches, and we saw what happened in the following rounds. Like you pointed out, Ward, just like Yarde, had spent his gas tank trying to get Kovalev out of there and was still huffing and puffing minutes after the awful stoppage.

It's like hey Ward landed one good punch on Kovalev's chin, so the lowblows were totally justified because he was gonna KO him anyway, guaranteed.

OK but how did YOU do against him Frochy? Well...






Ward beat him with one Arm! Had a tear in his Shoulder

Nice gifs. Now why couldn't Manny do that?

Froch"....I think his (Ward's) style was borderline cheating".
That's the key. WTF is "borderline cheating"?
A tactic is either legal or illegal.

Which boils down to: did the ref allow it or not? If the ref allowed it, it's legal. If it's not overturned on appeal, it's still legal.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of a low blow. It penalizes a punch to the genital area (but, admittedly, also prohibits punches to the thigh, knee and hips). But what damage does a punch do to your upper thigh

In your example ward hits the "b" but sergs trunks are pulled up and to the side. I mean, where did the punch actually land? The upper hip, or a square shot to the ***els??

In any event, if ward did land a low blow, the ref could only give serg 5 minutes to recover. But serg was done from the right to his head.

Answer me this? Where did Ward punces land?

What a bunch of horse manure? Kovalev was done from Ward's right? Was he done from Yarde's punches that were much stronger than Ward's?

Just like Yarde, Ward spent his tank trying to get Kovalev out of there. Kovalev recovered during the 1 minute break in the Yarde fight between the 8th and 9th, so had Kovalev gotten the 5 minute break, the outcome would have been totally different in the Ward fight.

That's right.👍

So those so called low blows had Kovalev wobbly in the corner. He didn't bend over at the waist after a legal body blow?

Looking for excuses. It's over my guy. The L is permanent.

No excuses. Ward's career ended the way it should have, with an obvious foul that the ref refused to call.

Here comes the Wart brigade, talking about how Froch is just jelous.. but in reality of things:
Kovalev outboxed Ward in their first fight put that azz on the canvas.. Second fight it was a closer fight, some body shots did slow down Kovalev, but those clear groin shots were just bull shit, that crooked paid reff was just picking up daisies and pretending that shit aint happening, no warnings, no point deduction, not even long count... That rat even apologized on the social media after the fight, mah bad yunginz... Bunch of crooks. But it’s all good Krusher bounced back from that bs.

You still mad kov lost
