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

[Kigali]

Never seen such a ******** POS fight before...never seen such corruption before

Kovalev DID NOT WANT TO CONTINUE

He stayed on the floor when Weeks stopped it.
He didn't jump up and protest.

Ward didn't let him take his usual breaks and he folded like a beach towel

3rd to last was low

Next 2 looked clean, not 100% sure

Hard to tell from camera angle since Kovalev was so bent for the last one it looked like an uppercut... Went slow-mo and looked legit too... Tuff call though...

Kind of hard to look at Kovalev's face there begging for mercy... Seemed to hurt bad... First time ever I see him that shot...

[John Locke]

I think that Kovalev was pretty finished!!!

Yes he was, but egomaniacs on here can't just accept it lol. Kovalev kept looking at the ref instead of fighting.

[BWC]

Lol idk man.

When was the last time Wilder one shot KO'd anyone like that? That cat on HBO that punched after he was KO'd on the ground?

I dig Wilder, but his boxing IQ is barely above gotta wear diapers cuz you can't pee by yourself level.

I'm not sure Wilder doesn't end up injuring himself from all the wild punches he misses vs Ward. He'll quit on the stool with a torn something or another.

Not saying Ward would win, but like I said I don't hate his chances vs Wilder or Parker. They aren't THAT big & they aren't the best boxers in the world while Ward isn't THAT small & is at least arguable the best boxer in the world.

Parker I'd agree but hes nowhere near Wilder s level. Wilder is 2.5 to 1 against AJ, Parker is 20 to 1. Wilder is almost 10x the fighter Parker is at HW..

I WAS GOING FOR KOVALEV 100%... I KNOW THIS LOW BLOW STUFF AND EARLY STOPPAGE WILL BE INVESTIGATED.... But to be honest, I personally feel ward earned my respect 100%. - Let's say Kovalev won the way Ward did, all of us Kovalev fans would have felt Kovalev won fair, and would not want the win to be investigated as early stoppage and low blows.

I DON'T BELIEVE IN MY HEART WARD WON THE FIRST FIGHT... BUT HE CLEARLY WON THIS FIGHT...... I picked Kovalev by close decision, and did not expect Andre to win by K.O./T.K.O.

Respect to Andre Ward!!!!

[Kigali]

Wonder who Stevenson will face? He could face Ward, although I suspect Ward is gonna go on a long vacation. So will Kovalev be his next fight? Maybe a big fight in Canada where Kovalev can actually earn a decent paycheck.

Stevenson is the last thing he needs.

That's certain death.

That right hand was set up from a low blow too guy was protesting to the blind ref holding his nuts. There was at least another 2-3 in prior rounds which the referee called time out for? as well as many completely ignored.
All three of those left hooks in the final sequence were low.

That was some Andrew Golota type sh(t

[bngsdad]

Its was going to be similar to the Spence/Brook fight...

Kovalev was doing really well on the first part while Ward was investing on those body punches. Those punches were already taking effect and I knew Kov was tiring out. But the way the fight ended, wow... Weeks should've been more discreet, that was too glaring

Really bad

Bingo..

Kov looked like Ivan Drago after Rocky chopped him down to the body and head.

Kov checked out! He was ready to quit. Great stoppage by the referee! In addition, congratulations to Andre ward on such a spirited effort and spectacular win. He physically wore Sergey down and broke his will.
