Ward vs Kovalev 2 RBR Discussion

[closer]

fixed scorecards again and ward wins by 3x lowblows , disgusting.

[boxing_rocks]

Now, I would like to see Ward against Beterbiev !!!!

Maybe as his warm-up fight at CW.

[Blodhemn]

Kovalev looked to be incredibly tired in the preceding 2 rounds, as I noted I had Kovalev ahead but he looked exhausted and probably wouldnt win another round, which is what happened. Dont let what happened in the last round sway you from how deeply he was breathing the previous 2 rounds. He was actually turning his back trying to get a breather.

Don't let the fact that 2 judges already had Ward winning, and that Weeks would let Ward tee off on Kovalev's nuts till the cows come home mean that Kovalev could win in any possible scenario. Though winded, he still clearly outboxed Ward up until that point.

[boxing_rocks]

The fluffers were wrong again, so brace yourselves because it's going to be like 3 dozen ladies on the rag in here for a long time.

Wrong. Again.

Most people were right, that Ward is a dirty disgraceful fighter.

Ward is a dirty disgraceful fighter, and Vegas is a dirty disgraceful place with dirty disgraceful judges.

Thats true. Kovalev was fighting and uphill battle , oh well. I hope he gets some good money off this..

[armageto]

People here were really desperate for Ward to lose. Can anyone not see that a lot of these "Low blows" Kovalev was trying to milk were actually legal or borderline punches? In the last 3 punches, one to me looked low, that last one. The first looked legal, the second right on the belt line.


I'm not even a Ward fan, but I can give him his respect on a great win tonight. Some of you guys need to go cry yourself to sleep already...

Ward is a cheating piece of shit and if I were his opponent I'd demand that the ref be from a country other than that of the U.S.A. and the fight not held in Vegas or California.

Triple G better win by KO because if not those Vegas judges will cheat him of the victory.

I had Ward up 4-3 going into the 8th. I guess we disagree on what clearly outboxed is. To each their own....

You obviously need some glasses because you are as blind as Weeks was.

Looked like Ward landed two uppercuts to the nuts to finish the fight, and then Kovalev was called KO'd without and even 10 count...

Nope, most of his purse PPV sales.

Could care less about "seeing Ward lose" as it won't happen, ever, in Vegas. People just want fairness, and that obviously didn't occur. Kovalev clearly wanted a breather, but he had also been getting hit low all night, with only one instance being recognized by Weeks. It's a comedy at this point. Much more to laugh about than cry.

[Freedom2013]

Yes, there was no surprise.

Corrupt referee ignored Ward's fouls, quick stoppage.

Kovalev got done dirty again.

[Counter-puncher]

*eminem voice* Ward, I think you were a little hard on Kovalevs beavers

Honestly Kovalev was looking for a way out of this fight. He's lucky that fight got stopped controversially, because the way it was going, he was gonna get either KTFO in the next few rounds or lose on the cards. Ward was landing and Kovalev was getting gassed the same way he did in the first fight. This way he can say that he got screwed again. Even though Kovalev fans are pissed, deep inside Sergey knows that he got away with one and is secretly happy.

Jesus christ, what a disgraceful fight. I hope Ward will never get a big fight again.

The hometown score of giving all *close* rounds to the favorite strikes again.

What did Sergey get away with other than his consciousness...

[SFW]

God this is great. These haters and idiot fans deserve no less. Cry your empty heads out, it's all your good for.

..I don't even care who was winning, it could've been Ward..I didn't like Kovalev's prefight trash talk..the stoppage was illegit and that's what counts..I've always said, Nevada State Commission set the time bomb appointing the local judges..

I don't think Kovalev was hit too low at all. I think he complained on EVERY body shot, trying to get a point taken away. The last three punches, one looked low to me.
