Were Ward's controversial blows LEGAL or ILLEGAL?

[punchoutsb]

^^^

Bending over does not afford the other fighter the right to land illegal punches. The picture you keep spamming the board with shows an illegal shot; more than half of Ward's glove lands below the belt-line. A low blow does not need to contact the actual nutsack to be illegal, it must simply land below the belt. There is absolutely zero doubt in my mind that Kovalev was wilting; his stamina last night is the worst I've seen it and Ward must be given credit for that. That does not excuse Ward's low blows, Weeks incompetence, and the abysmal stoppage. It is not the fighters duty to police his opponent, just ask Jack Sharkey. No fighter should have to fight through illegal punches just because they didn't do a certain amount of damage.

[BAD INTENTIONS]

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.

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.

You people clinging on to this are just deluded and biased. That shot you keep linking video to is irrelevant and only shows what bad sports you are.

I will show the actual punch that matters again just so the delusional s cannot ignore it



That was the punch that started it all. How is that so low that a world champion professional boxer couldn't take it and keep on fighting.

HE couldn't take it cause he hurt and gassed from a combination of being hit and also hitting a lot of thin air.

Excellent point BAD INTENTIONS someone who knows what they are talking about.

That was the exact punch I was asking someone to post. Thank you.
The replay shows the punch finished with a slight uppercut motion, so the brunt of the impact was on the belt line.

Typical liver shot, dude shorts was like Urkel.

Nice post, I gotta say everytime I see that picture I think two things. That's a low blow and kovalevs balls are at his knees in a cup.

Liver shot?

You have no idea where the liver is, do you?

The punch was not VERY low.

Whatever, it's Ward.

Not sure what you're trying to say, but that's still not where a human liver is located.

Isn't the liver to the right of the stomach?

The punch that started all the trouble was where a liver shot is generally located.

The liver is above the stomach, and tucked away under the ribs. The punch in the photo is not even close to being a liver shot.

[Prediction...Pain]

Ward by stoppage odds were very high. Some big money was made off this surely.

My guess is Week's job was that if he saw a chance to stop the fight, he was ordered to take it.

He saw his chance and he took it. Easy money for the crooks

Just my two cents.

First time I felt ripped off for 2 cents. Highly doubt Weekes was ordered to do take anything. Incompetent or negligent seems much more likely.

So when a boxer lands a "liver shot" where does it land?

On the liver.

[asdfjkl]

Exactly how I see it.

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.

But again, the shots were below the navel right?

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.

Are you slow? I'm asking you a very simple question, repeatedly in fact, somehow you keep on talking about all kind of different subjects. Still ignoring what I asked. To keep it simple for you it was basically the only thing I wrote down, without anything around it, somehow you still continue to talk around it and even ask me questions instead of giving the simple, easy to answer question a 5 year old could answer. TBH I think 99.9 of the 5 year olds would have given the correct answer within the amount of attempts you received, but once again:
The shots were below the navel right?

They were legal shots on the belt line that you complained about. That pretty much answers your question. His belt line was covering his navel.

That's NOT the punch that ended the fight.

I never said it was the punch that ended the fight? Is you reading selective as well as your vision.

Erm, so are you saying that the punch I linked (the first one Kova started crying about), was legit?

If so, how do you explain the beating he received for a minute before your video? Come on man, theres no shame in admitting you were wrong.

The shot you linked, was the only one I thought was controversial. It was also the least important, Kova was done at that point, he wasn't defending himself and as BAD INTENTIONS clearly pointed out, Kova was bent over, so he ran the risk of taking a shot there as there is literally no where else to hit.

It is the same as when a fighter is badly hurt and turns his back on the other fighter, then gets hit in the back of the head, he's not protecting himself and he is forcing the referee to make a decision.

Sorry your focusing on that one punch is illogical considering Kova was finished at that point anyway.
