You type that with Ward sitting on your face?
Kovalev fought dirty too, throwing rabbit punches in the clench. Ward throwing low blows left and right with the ref not caring.
I guess kov is sitting in your face right now with another L kn the record. Buddy was throwing rabid punches all night. Ward figured him out by the ,4th round. A shot to the belt line where the protector is not a low blow.
Kov was gassed by the 6th and began trying to headlock ward. But of course you missed that part.the belt line shots didn't do him in. It was the fact he took a shot from ward where he sat down.experience as an under dog is what did kov in he wasnt prepared mentally for a war bc he has never had to go to war
How do you not give him a 8 count wtf. Weeks blew a couple of non low blow calls too
A standing 8 count after he complained after every shot? And the fact they clearly say there is no standing 8 count.
Guys out here looking for refs to save em smh
Yea he looked too fragile on the ropes gotta take that knee. Son didn't want to fight anymore.
Exactly he quit. His best shots in round 7 and 8 had no power on em. Kov can not fight on the move. To bad Adonis doesn't have the goods to expose him
Are standing 8s even allowed anymore?
If Kov was laying on the ropes there could have been some justification that it held him up from a knockdown but he was just bent over taking shots.
Dude bent over and was done. He even turned his back to ward at one point.
Disappointed in kov performance tonight. And his management it is a sham he got no purse tonight smh
weeks is not a good ref... wouldve been better with bayless... weeks lets everything slide though pause... regardless kovalav quit and the dumb thing is he was probably up on the scorecards until that knockout... not interested in a 3rd fight... but imo right now ward is p4p #1 and its not even close... he took floyds spot and he deserves it...im tired of people saying he hasnt fought in a minute and hasnt fought elite competition and got gifted a win in the first kovalav fight... now this is more definitive win so no more excuses why he aint the best right now
I think weeks did fine. There would have been no difference with bayless. Weeks didn't let them work out of the clinch he was there to break it up.
One thing people have not said anything about is wards strength vs the first fight.
Last fight ward could not move kov in the clench in rounds 1-6 this fight was a different story. I doubt we see ward go back down in weight again
Sad to see so many excuses about low blows and caping for a man that quit. The belt line and protector are there for a reason. Holding a mans head down as he throws a body shot is not illegal. And if the shots were that bad why did we not see him Protestant the end? I'll wait for an answer on that lol
Lastly Kathy duva is a snake she is terrible to get kov this deal
