Ward/Kovalev 2...who wins?

[Batman]

I'm really fucked off with this now that I've woke up, Kov was hurt but its a world championship fight and the biggest of both fighters careers.

The fight was won via low blows which Kov had been complaining about prior to these ones landing.

He got buzzed pretty fucking hard and was in survival mode but if the shots were not low then the referee has stopped the fight for a legitimate body shot which is crazy.

Same situation as what happened to Groves, he was winning the first fight and the ref couldn't wait to just in the first sign that he was hurt.

Kov did seem off tonight at times, I'm pretty sure that earlier in the fight the ref had to call him and tell him to turn around as he had turned to face the corner for some reason or another.

And as Fenners mentioned he didn't put up much of a fight about the stoppage, who knows if he was hurting and was glad to be given an out or if it was just complete resignation that shit is stacked against him.

All in all not the best night for boxing with the craziness that went with Rigo and the craziness that went with the bodyshot stoppage, people won't be talking about the boxing yet again.

Absolutely.One of those punches was especially low. To just wave it off like that is messed up. But then, look at those cards. They were out to job him again. Twice Kovalev has done the heavy lifting and got the short end. Why not just wave the fight off when Ward was knocked down in the last fight? Because it would have been BS! You have to give a count or at least say 'Steady on, this is penis punching!' Kovalev didn't even go down and was being battered on the penis repeatedly. Yet HBO seemed ignorant of Ward losing most of the rounds and were dribbling on about how great Ward is. He basically lost twice. The nob was the only thing between them.

Just watched the replay. In one word?





Bollocks

[Master]

Bollocks that Ward won?
Bollocks that Kov quit?
Bollocks that ref did not allow it to go on?

Bollocks being a recurring theme thru the night. Almost like a hanging swingy metaphor for the sweaty state that boxing can get itself into.

I had Ward 1 up at the finish and winning the round.

Again the little BITCHES are out crying. You're all little whining bitches.

If Kov would let you you'd suck his dick.

He was hurt and getting beat up on the ropes. Go down and you get a count, if someone's getting beat up and not dropping, of course the ref would stop it.

2 fair wins for Ward.

Stop crying girls.

Stop trolling. That was a BS stoppage and low blows were occurring left and right. Kovalev should have stopped complaining and retaliated, but that does not excuse the fouls or the referee's choosing to ignore them. Ward had a great round and was likely en route to legit TKO without having to hit his opponent rapid fire three consecutive times in the balls.

You are a terrible judge. Ward was 6-1 down at the time of the stoppage according to me and Lederman, was outlanded in all but 1 round, and Kovalev was forcing the fight. Even if you give Ward a 10-8 round 8 he still had a lot to do with only 4 rounds left. Kovalev was hit low 3 times in a row and they waved it off. What kind of con game is that? At least have the decency to give the man a count and weigh up the situation a little. Kovalev motioned a low blow earlier and was laughed off. Then emboldened Ward decided to just do it again and again and again. It was terrible.

Should have been a great spectacle and it was ruined. BTW you should learn to score a fight. The only thing up about Ward was his hair.

[Beanz]

You would be hard pushed to script and makes this up

Ward wearing a rucksack to the post fight press conference is just taking the Michael


What was that all about ? Is he in such a rush to go off Youth Hostelling that he can't wait until after to put it on ?

Fuck you and Lederman.

2 judges had Ward up and if I'm not mistaken.. They count more than you or Lederman.

And I know how to score I was scoring in favor of the winner

[Gandalf]

Outrageous. Sorry I had it 5-2 kovalev. Did more in most of the rounds.
