I'll start you off. The last blow goes below the beltline. Now give me 6 more.

Weeks clearly stated that anything on Kov's belt line would be good and anything below it (the black portion) would be low. Roy Jones also explained that Kov's trunks were a bit high and that punches to his belt line should have been considered legal......

But that's not even the major issue which I raised, is it?
Didn't I explicitly talk about the stoppage? In a fight for the unified light heavyweight title? How teh hell does a ref, thinking straight and supposedly unbiased, stop a fight at the first sign of trouble? In a fight of this magnitude against a guy who hasn't even been closed to being stopped?
can you explain that. Thanks.

Originally posted by Redd Foxx View PostTS is a miserable mfkr that is always wrong, always sounding like a bitter clown. I DO think it ended early. But, Kovalev was done, regardless. The only reason to let it go longer was respect and formality. Wouldn't have changed a damn thing but if that mental blanket give your some sort of peace in this traumatizing time, you clutch onto it.
Now, back to the boxing, how can you, watching the fight drunk, know when a fighter is done? Can you explain what revelation you received to tell you KOvalev, you has never been stopped, not even close, who had won the majority of rounds on almost every card, was "done" without even a clean kd?

You prove time and time again that you don't know shyt about boxing. That's OK! My wife don't know shyt either but I still like chatting boxing with her. But, she doesn't go on rants, saying everything is broken because it didn't go her way. You're a crying child. Grow the fuk up.

what are tyou talking about? some of those punches were well below the belt line, they weren't even borderline. I ignored the borderline shots and even then there were 6 punches that were low. Two punches that low should get you a warning, 7 should be a disqualification.
But that's not even the major issue which I raised, is it?

I also agree the stoppage was a bit premature; however, I think the situation was brought on by Kov's desire to escape the legal body shots that Ward landed. I think both fighters suffered from the early stoppage. Kov deserved to go out fighting and Ward deserved to win without controversy.
Can't explain the ref's mindset because he hasn't issued a statement. I know we're all experts here but a certain amount of error is to be expected when trying to ref a fight in real time.. He doesn't get the luxury of doing it from home with HBO replay......
