Ward fans, how do you defend this?

I've seen it back about 10 times in slow motion and I'm still not convinced they were that low. What is clear is that kovalev was done, beaten and wanted out. And like I said get over it.

Nobody without an agenda can say that those last two punches weren't clearly low, although as you said, Kovalev was done, beaten and a dead man walking.

Yes. The blows were low but kov was done and wanted out.

Imagine...getting hit in the nuts by a punch from a pro boxer.. you'd need time to recover. He was not done.

The initial right hand was legit and hurt him ...but the after effects of the low blows was too much.

I know you guys have agendas and so on, but really.

Low Blow or Not ? What do you people think ? 🇺🇸🇷🇺

Right on the belt line and his trunks were high...that was a stomach shot

Please stop making sense...

That was on the beltline. I agree with Larry.

... "alternative truth" actually exists!

I actually had £50 on kovalev by stoppage. No agenda here I just think ward deserves credit for actually going for the KO. Not many expected that, me included.

That is an obvious low blow. Anyone denying that is delusional. I'm not even blaming Ward here. I'm blaming Weeks, who made a terrible decision to stop the fight.

I don't care if Kovalev was looking done. Make the right call some can get a proper finish. Kovalev should have gotten 5 minutes there.

The same Ward fans who say that isn't a low blow probably think Hopkins for but low against Calzaghe.

He was but that shouldnt let Weeks off the hook. We shouldn't have anticlimactic endings like that in boxing.

I have to admit, I picked Ward by decision and never anticipated that ending. I thought If there was a KO It would be Ward getting knocked out. Ward deserves all the credit In the world for going all out.

Ward definitely went all out.

He was balls to the wall

[MDPopescu]

Exactly. The punch lands on that white banded portion of the trunks.

Like this "white banded portion"?
