To me, "ridiculously low" is a balls shot, which is between the gap in the legs.SaadOffTheDeck wrote:The second one was ridiculously low. That being said, kovalev was wilting before that. Fight sucked too much for me to complain with any passion.

I don't want to get hit right above the pubic hairline (where I think the low blows landed),
but they were definitely not the straight ball shots like Judah/Mayweather or Golata/Bowe.

Protect YOURSELF at all times. Don't count on the referee to protect you.But again, the shots were below the navel right?BAD INTENTIONS wrote:Exactly how I see it.armageto wrote:AGAIN, Weeks established what was a legal punch BEFORE the fight in due to Kovalev's trunks being high. So THAT made the belt line legal. SO the two punches you were complaining about at 30:27 ARE legal. That last punch WAS low. Low blows didn't bring Kovalev to that point.
The ones that Ward landed at the end were a little low (none to the balls).
However, Kovalev was already done before that.
I am extremely impressed with Ward and Kovalev. I still think they are #1 and #2,
because of the gap between Kovalev and the rest of 175.
But, Ward is the better fighter of the two. Big deal.
A low blow is a low blow and a low blow is illegal. It seems you want to volunteer to check the boxers balls to see if the actual testicles were hit but I'm afraid it doesn't (or at least shouldn't) work that way. It doesn't matter if a punch his balls, dick or thigh NO punch is permitted below the belt line.BAD INTENTIONS wrote:To me, "ridiculously low" is a balls shot, which is between the gap in the legs.SaadOffTheDeck wrote:The second one was ridiculously low.

Are you slow? The punch zone was deemed legal by Weeks due to where Kovalev's trunks were. Yes, that last punch was low. These belt shots/borderline punches you are complaining about (reference 30:27) were legal punches.asdfjkl wrote:But again, the shots were below the navel right?BAD INTENTIONS wrote:Exactly how I see it.armageto wrote:AGAIN, Weeks established what was a legal punch BEFORE the fight in due to Kovalev's trunks being high.

He's incredibly slow, a real brick wall. Not a troll, just really dumb.armageto wrote:Are you slow? The punch zone was deemed legal by Weeks due to where Kovalev's trunks were.

i think he was warned, so the lastNateJR wrote:Most were right on the beltline, I seen 2 shots that were clearly low, but nothing excessive enough that called for a DQ or even a point deduction.
You're insane. When you've been warned and continue to throw lower than ever??? ... The fight is stopped... You're point deducted... Kovalev gets 5 minutes.NateJR wrote: I seen 2 shots that were clearly low, but nothing excessive enough that called for a DQ or even a point deduction

Likely the latter.RScarf1 wrote:The video is proof that the referee is incompetent or intentionally incompetent.

Thank you exactly what I thought, where the eff was Ward supposed to land when Kova is bent over like that lol. At this point it doesn't even matter anyway because Kova was finished. How many nasty punches do you see someone get hit in the head with on the way down to a KO, its boxing, it happens. Defend yourself at all times, thats all.BAD INTENTIONS wrote:When someone is bent at an almost 90 degree angle, it's almost impossible to not punch a little low from certain angles.
So can a guy who is hurt to the body do that to limit any body punches?
No, you just get hit a little low for bending like that.
Kovalev was yielding to pressure at the time of the stoppage.
Stop making excuses.
Dude was gassing from the 3rd.
Max and Roy were calling it (which ended up being the truth),
while many of you were chasing Lederman's fantasy card.
