Trolling? I am for real. I don't joke about these things.
Ward is a cheat and not once but in many fights now. Mayweather is a pisstaker. These are pretty standard points of view.
My love of James Toney runs deep and is genuine.
Calzaghe is the greatest of all fighters and was unbeatable. He would have sorted Ward out with or without the cheating.
My views on Rigo are flexible.

Ward has upset me ever since the Billy goating of Mikkel Kessler that screwed up his eye and shortened his career. There are never any repurcussions for his frankly dangerous and unsporting behavior. No I don't like him. I am anti-Ward because he is a cheat and it happens in all too many fights with him. Look at the slow motion replay, Master and then tell me there is no reason to dislike him. The man is a bit like Wlad in that he got to do what he wanted and spoiled many a potentially good fight. You didn't see James Toney fighting like that. How can you resist a punch to the balls? What are you meant to do? Are they meant to retreat into the body as the punch comes towards him? No, I am not impressed at all. Twice Ward was outboxed and twice the inhouse boxer gets a gift. I've seen enough boxing to know that oen bad round does not mean a fighter is done. They kill the clock, get a breather and come back hard if they are elite and Kovalev didn't get a chance to prove it. Stopped to the cock. You couldn't make it up.

You are making it up! You need to give credit to Ward and his skills and stop focusing on the negative. I have said Kov could have reacted far better than he did and should have punched Ward low back if the ref was not stopping it. It seems the fight was taken out of Kov because Ward was getting stronger and taking it to Kov.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Paulie agrees.

The video does not lie and I am not making anything up. You owe me a letter of apology.

I am not saying the blows were not low but Kov could have taken a knee and punched ward back if the ref was not going to stop it. Instead he cowered and practically gave up.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
@Gandalf I, in part, agree with you
I think one way or another Kov has been bummed out of it, not just the fight, his fair purse and the rest
there was only one way he was gonna win and that was by a clear knockout, and even then ?
Rocky 4, America v Russia, one of America's few elite fighters, lb4lb contender, going in against a tall powerful, straight up, robotic like Russian killing machine
there was no way Kov would be allowed to win
he didn't do himself any favours tho when the last few seconds came, I almost agree with the stoppage
Officially the only saddo who has had a girlfriend
You posted the video, but did you watch the video? Because Paulie clearly does not agree with you. He said Ward took over and would get a clear stoppage. That's the part you fail to recognize. Yes, low blows shouldn't have ended it. But you fail to acknowledge that low blows did not decide it. Kovalev was done, and he was done from legit punches. You skip that. The one side acknowledges all that happened, you only acknowledge one detail.
Peach of a shot to the gonads. No ambiguity there.

It doesn't matter how you all wanna justify the win For Ward. Fact is he finished him off with shots to the bollocks.
Ok fine Ward won fair and square.
Not one person has said that. But I suppose it is easier to win an argument where you make up the opposing side right? It's intellectually dishonest though.
A general rule of thumb is if you find it necessary to be intellectually dishonest you are probably on the wrong side of the argument.

This guy.... Cup splitting fight for the ages...

They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
