Ward fans, how do you defend this?

[Mukuro]

That is a masterpiece by Larry. How someone can watch that clip and say that shot was to the stomach... I'm impressed.

When you are bent over like that, not too many places a body shot is going to go...

By reminding you of the punches that had Killa on the run

That was on the beltline. I agree with Larry.

Kovalev being bent over like that is the issue, that is a submissive position that beckons the ref to stop the fight not account for low blows.

Er... wasn't he bent over like that because of the first low blow?

Thing is... if Weeks actually does his job and takes a point from Ward and give 5 mins to Kovalev Ward would have most likely still won anyway as Kovalev was totally gassed.

Instead we got this... an the fact people are trying to actually justify it shows that they aren't really boxing fans because in no way was this outcome good for the sport.

More will come out soon, skysports and other nations channels often use different angles with their streams. HBO politics was at play here!

No they don't. They use the main networks feed.

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

get out of here.You were probably one of those guys who said he got him in the kidneys.

The last shot of the sequence was clearly low. Max somehow referred to it as borderline.

A point off was probably the most appropriate line of action. At the very least give Sergey a breather rather than stopping it. Weeks must not have seen that the shot was low for him to make that call. I was surprised that I did not hear them interview Weeks after the fight (or if they did, I missed it) about that.

Anyway, wouldn't have mattered. Kov was done well before the punch in that gif landed and would have been clean stopped if the fight continued.
