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

[SugarRaRobinson]

I completely agree that Roy called this fight perfectly. There's been a lot of crying on here about the commentary being pro-Ward. I didn't see that. They gave Kovalev his due. He was keeping the fight relatively even with his hard jab. But I mentioned to my homeboy watching the fight with me around the 3rd round that I didn't like Kovalev's body language.

I pesonally felt that had the first fight been 15rds, Kovalev would have been stopped. And this was basically rounds 13-20. Kovalev didn't run outta gas in the first fight. He had the gas beaten outta him. The only difference tonight was that Ward came in with no respect for Kovalev's power and took it to Sergey from the opening bell. Kovalev was bent over by several good body shots, and was allowed to recover because he was able to sell tt as getting hit low.

People keep saying it was an early stoppage. I just don't understand what the ref is supposed to do when a guy is bent over and not trying to defend himself from an oncoming assault.

Good analysis !

Kov kept putting weeks in precarious situations.

As a matter of fact, kov even put Ward in precarious situation when he hurt Kov and Kov heeled over and turned his back to Ward. Ward was looking like : Should I hook this n.gga to sleep 😴

Kovalev fans on here making straight azzes out of themselves.

Yup getting ugly up in here. It will be this times 10 when canelo makes GGG look foolish which is coming next in sept.

Ward is to Kovalev what Holyfield was to Tyson.

Atrociously biased commentary by Kellerman and Jones

Max Kellerman and Roy Jones Jr. Kcalled and embellished everything Ward did while rarely giving Kovalev credit for his successes. The vast majority of the punches that stopped Kovalev were blatantly low but they called them borderline. Jones even suggested that Kovalev's trunks were worn unusually high, which everyone could see, was not. Strange, since both analysts are usually fair and objective.

BRING SUPERMAN!

I second that.

..... is now an appropriate time to discuss how Ward would have absolutely WRECKED Golovkin?

after seeing what Danny Jacobs did to Golovkin, Ward would have utterly wrecked him

they were lucky..... ooops I mean smart..... not to take that fight

..... actually, maybe now is not such a good time, I think I will bring that subject up later

Lord you already know this is why GGG bytched out that fight. LMAO Don't worry Canelo going to do to him what ward would of. There will be a lot of tears when canelo outclasses and embarrasses GGG.

ward is really a nice classy christian guy. he had kovalev folded on the ropes and he looks at the ref as if to say "keep going?" .. ward should've turned savage and put kovalev on a stretcher for all that sht talking. kovalev wasn't defending himself anymore he pulled a "no mas" you can the hear the mortal kombat "finish him!" and ward backed off. kovalevs career/life was saved by ward's christianity. i was screaming for a brutal end for that racist scum and ward said "nah, let him live".

[pretty ste]

Look at my old post i said kovalev fans will be on suicide watch

Ward made "Krusher" into "Kushion".

I wish Weeks would let Ward put some more dents on Kovalev. He would have destroyed him. Badly.

Sorry, you don't get off that easy. You said Ward couldn't hurt a marshmallow. You said Kov had nothing to do with Russia forever, when his previous fight to Ward 1 was in Russia. You said Ward refused ped testing- he did when Rodriguez tried to demand it after contracts were signed and halfway through training camp. KOV IS THE ONE WHO REFUSED PED TESTING WHEN PASCAL OFFERED TO PAY FOR IT FOR THEIR FIRST FIGHT.

You said, someone needs to hand me a book on boxing because Ward is clearly not p4p king.

Kov's record with ped testing: 0-2.
Ward's record with ped testing: 3-0

You lied about known facts, insisted Ward couldn't hurt a marshmallow and claimed TRBR, the Ring, me, and every other reputable boxing organization needed to a book on boxing for believing Ward is #1.

You lied to try and make belief what you wished was really true.

Sir, you are obviously a newbie to boxing, so here's some advice: keep your mouth shut about stuff you have no clue about.

Your location has a name: the home for adults with mental deficiencies. Now go to bed, you ******ed asswad.

Wow your a tough cookie, a real.marksman! I admit I made myself look like a total ass and I know won't be off the hook!

I'll def be studying this fight on Ward's intricates and nuances but to say I know **** about boxing because I was wrong, is wrong in itself!

Lots of people get wrong even guys who knows boxing inside and out!

Your one of those guys who kicks folks while their down well I ain't down and I'm not out you ****** animal!

I had Ward outclassing Kov in the first fight till it happened so wtf are you talking about!

And Ward was not p4p king off a controversial decision but off this one he definitely is, I'll give him his accolades!

You may think you have won, you maythink all is well but kiss my brown assand I'll see you in hell!
