Comments Thread For: Kovalev Contests Criticism He Can't Take Body Shots

[Pigeons]

that shiiet was low brah and im not even a kov fan.

I'm not talking about the final sequence. Earlier in the fight he was complaining about shots on the belt line.

[Mateuz asato]

He definitely cannot take them, he and Thurman are the two boxers of recent who visibly show you they are hurting from bodyshots.

Throw paddy Barnes in the mix

Kovalev needs an anatomy lesson. Your balls are a part of your body so hitting them counts as a body shot.

Ward worked that biological speedbag over with some sweet science.

Now I have to try real hard to shut out d image.....lol

[Mateuz asato]

fact if the matter is this the only fans who believe andre ward is not dirty and those low blows were legit are

black americans
racists
dontae boxing nation race baiter supporters

Why do u care, if he's dirty he stands and gives a fight like you guys want

Kovalev has never been knocked down by a bodyshot: fact

That's right. In fact, I find pretty funny how everybody discusses his body resistance based on the end of the second Ward fight, while forgetting that Ward started the final job with a blow to the head that discombobulated the Krusher.

The same did Eleider Alvarez in the first fight with Kovalev.

Based on the above, I'd say that Kovalev's chin is worse than his body.

Canelo is not cut for lightheavy. Kovalev, even at this stage of life, may manhandle him. Another upset

Mention of Ward got me wondering?

Who you got >>

Ward vs Canelo at 164 catch weight ???
Ward vs Canelo 168 ???
Ward vs Canelo - 175 ???

now... ?

Canelo at 164 and 168... Ward at 175

now... ?

Canelo at 164 and 168... Ward at 175

Not now. Mythical matchup - Ward when he was at 175, say prior to 1st Kov fight and Ward when he was at 168 and calling out Golovkin vs Canelo now

If it was now I wouldn't have Ward winning any due to too inactivity ring-rustiness - maybe if he took a few warm-up fights

I'd have to say Ward at all 3 weights if honest - maybe i'll re-assess as Canelo's resume develops
