The Official: "SOG" Ward vs "King" Kovalev II Fight Discussion Thread

[gmc_rfc_06]

Kov's belt was high and the punches looked like they landed on the belt. Kovalev wasn't showing any movement at the stoppage. He just stayed there staring at the floor. That's a quit.

It's hard to move after getting punched in the balls 4 times.

Oof that low blow was not borderline, don't excuse that one Max

[BKM-]

They are showing newer angles. You can clearly see it land on his nuts now. Ward's a fraud and Weeks is too, to think I thought he was doing a good job stopping the clinches lol.

Seems to me like the last 2 blows of the fight were low.

Exactly...

The last 2 were low and the stoppage was too early

Some punches in the last sequence were low. The stoppage was also very weird, should have done a count, but still Ward figured Kovalev out.
He had the timing down to get inbetween Kovalevs punches. He anticipated most of Kovalevs punches and also used clinches to stop Kovalev from getting work in.
The more interesting aspect was that Kovalev couldnt adapt at all. He used very good feints to get Ward to react, but after a couple of rounds, he couldnt land clean on Ward, was pushed around on the inside and looked really rattled by Wards bodypunches.

It's hard to tell. Either Kov's cup or belt was too high and Ward kept landing right on the sweet spot, or the body shots + the fight's pace were simply taking a toll. When Kovalev sat on the ropes, Weeks should've started counting.

Yeah hard to tell damn this solved NOTHING what a wasted Rematch it was a good chess going as well. Weeks is a ***ing IDIOT though!

[Cheek busting]

Yeah nah.............

Lol my ancestors owned yours.

Hahahaha so weak they couldn't protect their women and kids and got packed on ships like sardines.

Hahaha how pathetic

Andre Ward is simply the better boxer, period.

[Johnny2x2x]

Terrible stoppage, but the "Krusher" was already on his way out. That right hand did most of the damage....

100% agree with this. Kovalev was done and was about to go out, but that was a poor stoppage unless Weeks heard or saw Kovalev indicate he was done.

Low blows? Close, but those were on the belt which is legal. Ward was clearly going to win that fight, bad ending, but he deserves the W.

This is why I think it got stopped. He basically look like he gave up and at kov saying he wasn't hurt he got ****ing rocked. **** outta here.
