Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Stops Sergey Kovalev in Eight To Retain Belts

[dibzvincent143]

Legal or not weeks should have not stopped fight yet. Ward deserves an unquestionable win he trained his butt for it, and kova needs to be given a chance for a comeback since he wasn't unconcious or out off his feet.
Khan was given three tries. Even bradley was given benefit of the doubt against provo
Those guys are more hurt imo.
Dont give me that "oh hes gonna get stop anyway" we cant say that to all the greatest comebacks in boxing

No more excuses!!!

I called it, and the haters said Ward can't hurt a marshmallow! LMAO. OMG, before they get over this Mayweather will destroy McGregor and while they are still contemplating suicide, Canelo will beat GGG. VADA testing baby. Look at Kov's three fights since Russia got caught handing its athletes peds and helping them cheat the tests. Since then, Kov couldn't get Chiauhua out and lost two in a row. No wonder Kov refused to have testing in the first Pascal fight, without his Ivan Drago juice, he has no power. Without his power he is nothing.

WARD IS P4P KING!!!

Even Rafael is who bought and paid for by Loeffler and Arum is going to have to admit it now.

tony weeks should've backed off and allowed andre to finish kovalevs career. he was a punching bag on those ropes. he never recovered from the right hand and ward was going for the kill. if it was smoger in there kovalev would leave the ring on a stretcher. weeks saved that boy.

I'll be eating my crow till I'm full tonight and in the coming weeks or even months!

Major props to Ward for switching things up immediately!

If you can't outbox a guy who can box and hit then target his gas tank and take it to him inside!

He proved me wrong twice lol, in the first fight which I said he would outclass Kov and then the 2nd fight which I had Kov would win!


Weeks did stop the fight too early but Kov def was looking for a way to get Ward deducted a point(****** tactics)!

That right hand that rocked him is a bad look on Kov from here on out, never would've expected that!

He def doesn't listen to JDJ, he told him to let Ward come to him and throw more jabs and use the left hook instead he followed Ward around and wrestled with him again!

Ward is #1 in my book and he does whatever it takes to win, I'm eating my crow...excuse me I was horribly wrong!

Kovalev saved himself.

He wasn't getting up....

Just rewatched the final round. And I'm gonna try and articulate according to crying Kovalev fanboy logic:

At around the 1:45 mark, Kovalev is bent over by three clean body shots. He tries to sell them as low blows and get a breater for about the third time in the fight. The ref says no it was clean. But because Ward let up, it allowes Kovalev about ten seconds to recover.

Kovalev came back and landed a couple jabs, which he did consistently throughout the fight. At about the 1:15 mark, times the jab and absolutely wrecks Kovalev with a counter right hand that has the Russian on ***** street.

Ward jumps him, lands a couple hooks to the head and 3 or 4 more savage body shots, making Kovalev visably grimace around the 1:00 mark.

Kovalev at that point is in full survival mode. Backs himself into a corner and smartly holds. Around the :45 Weeks breaks them. Ward lands another savage body shot on the belt that bends Kovalev over. He follows with two more that sailed low, mostly due to Kovalev being bent over. I mean, he's still allowed to throw body shots. Its not his fault his opponent is bent over not wanting to fight anymore.

Either way, according to crying Kovalev fanboys, the win is tainted because after Ward legally bent Kovalev over and let him off the hook. Then, timed him with a perfectly timed pillow fisted counter right hand that had Kovalev on ***** street. Then beat him up to the head and body for another minute. Then lands another savage body shot that bent Kovalev over and pretty much made him quit. But, because the final two finishing, when the outcome was no longer in doubt, sailed below the belt, the win is tainted. Please stop yourselves people.

The right handed stance did it.

Kovalev trained for a lefty and Ward showed up on the other side....with power shots.

[Nomadic]

But he scared of Kov...

[MEXfistology]

"Kovalev will FCK up Andre ward" , "kovalev will knockout ward" hahahahahahahah all of you

[MC Hammer]

I am just going to state the facts.

What is it with African American referees and judges always helping African American boxers defeat non-African American boxers?

This was just ridiculous.

First, a clear low blow that sold-out Weeks let go, a couple of rounds before the final round. It was a clear low blow. It took the oxygen and strength out of Kovalev. He could never recover from that. So Weeks, instead of stopping the action and letting Kovalev recover, and maybe discounting a point from Ward, let the fight continue. THIS STARTED THE END.

Fast forward a couple of rounds. Ward catches Kovalev with a great right to the face, with all his body behind it. A legit shot. He stuns Kovalev but does not knock him down. Then, Ward goes after Kovalev, and throws IDK three, four or five straight blatant low blows, while Weeks deliberately covers the cameras and pretends not to see. After Kovalev gets evidently weakened by a flurry of low blows, Weeks suddenly stops the fight for no justifiable reason, instead of penalizing Ward or even disqualifying him for throwing a barrage of low blows . Weeks is a sold-out embarrassment.

This was totally ridiculous. And then, either naive or sold-out Kellerman says in public that he considers Ward the #1 P4P boxer today, after such blatant robbery, during his interview with Ward, where he pretended not to notice about all the low blows.

I have the highest respect for REAL African American boxing champions, like Ali, Foreman, Hagler, Leonard, Tyson (before the bitings), and many, many more real fighters, but this has gone beyond blatantly disgusting. The way referees helped Mayweather Jr. in the past and the way Weeks just ruined Kovalev's career today, is a total shame. Even with the very bad camera angles, it was pretty obvious that Ward "won" the fight, by deliberately connecting low blows, knowing that his accomplice Weeks would turn a blind eye on his cheating. Ward is a pathetic cheater, and he evidently is the one who chooses who will help him "win" his fights.

Sad day for boxing!

Go put on your robe and hood you alt-right meth addict. Old I can give credit to blacks as long as they aren't around anymore ass punk. You had the nerve to say Weeks covered the cameras. Really!? The cameras that are all over the ring? He knew exactly which one was being broadcast, and instinctively covered as to protect Ward's low blows? You are a loser and a failure at life. AND STILLLLLL!!!!!!!
