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

[GrandmasterWang]

I'm trying to think of another "tko" that occurred as a result of a foul like what occurred in this fight?

The closest I can think of was when Dawson was originally declared a champion and given a TKO win over Hopkins from a takedown. Thankfully that disgraceful moment was reversed.

There must be some similar cases?

and yet..... that little *** is still here..... and he is still crying

It is now confirmed that the last punch is a legit body shot. Weeks steps in and puts the racist out of his misery.



Sergey Kovalev- "On the border"

Ive been here since 2011. Who are you? Besides the
Obvious whiner

I wasn't asking who you are, ya numbskull!

Weeks was clearly poised and ready, looking for any excuse to earn his scum-money by stopping the fight and giving Ward another undeserved win.

Here's are the first 2 punches in that gif you posted, filmed from another angle.



A blatent low left, followed by a chopping right hand to the back of the head when Kovalev bent over after being hit in the groin.

Not really sure what you showed me here. But its not the same action than that of the gif.

Looking at them again, you are correct, the video I posted isn't the same action as your gif.

But it clearly shows Ward hitting Kovalev below the belt, then following up with a chopping punch to the back of his head, both illegal and both delivered in full view of the ref, who took no action.

If Weeks was getting ready to stop the fight in that gif of yours .. what justification was there for doing so? Kovalev had been hurt by a good head shot, and he was looking a little ragged but he hadn't been down, and the fight was evenly balanced on points.

Even ignoring those blatent low blows - just like the Weeks did -how many times have we seen fighters get a second wind and rally to win fights after looking in far worse shape than Kovalev was in there?

The "bad body language" from Kovalev that people have been talking about happened because he expected the ref to do something about Ward's fouls, not because he wanted to quit.

Close to a thousand points made in all the Ward/kovalev threads. Why keep beating a dead horse further? Nothings going to change. Its a fight, **** happens. Seen fighters get hit to the BALLS multiple times. They kept fighting. Why didnt Kovalev? Cause it was more than getting hit to the balls. The previous body shots and gassing out mentally weakened him. He had enough with the lower blow. If it never happened. Could he of fought further? Sure, but Ward was far better this time. Kovalev was OVER REACTING to fair body shots. A clear sign of quitting.
My opinion. He was not in shape. He EXPECTS to KO everyone in 2-3 rounds. Thats his SET mindset. He refuses to change that. He also uses too many excuses for
My taste

" Weeks was clearly poised and ready "..... because he could see that Kovalev "was clearly poised and ready"..... to go..... you tool
