Kovalev won

Kovalev won...

The pro black ref...

Stop it! Just stop it! FFS!

YOU can't handle the fact that there are rules in Boxing... Not even a master boxer cannot defend against low blows very well... They're debilitating.

Ward's game plan was going low and staying low... Weeks was there to facilitate the strategy.

..this tandem or should I say troika including NSAC did a great job..

[Tanzio]

Krusher won a one way ticket to a beatdown for his empty tough talk and Weeks robbed him of the total experience

[BitPlayer]

Kovalev won the first 7 rounds. Ward didnt win 1 single round. I saw a lot of wrestling, holding and low blows from ward, but he didnt win one round where you could clearly say he won it.

Deluded fanboy nonsense.

After round 5 the camera was showing wards face, his cheek bones were swollen red, he knew he had the pro black on his side and he could swing for the balls and nothing would happen.

The pro black ref let all the low blows happen, like it was normal. In round 8 ward was taking energy from kovalev landing low blows, at the end he landed a shot to kovalevs face, serguy was wobbly, ward followed up with borderline low blows just to finish it with 2-3 clear low blows. No standing count, just waved it off. I dq'd ward and declare kovalev the winner by 8 dq win. He is now 2:0 against ward. First fight ud win, second dq win.

KOVALEV WON 1 MAYBE 2 ROUND'S I SAID IT WOULD BE EASIER THE 2ND TIME AROUND WARDS THE MAN P4P KING NUMERO UNO NUMBER 1

[man]

i didn't see kov winning. ward was way
better prepared in every aspect than the
first time around. he could handle the
power and managed to get his shots in.
plus kov seemed to fade again. don't
know if due to the low blows, i rather
think he got frustrated and exhausted
by missing so often.

which doesn't change the fact that this
was a display of smart, unclean fighting
by ward and a shockingly unfair ending.

Im hoping posters such as Jip are just taking the piss and arent serious. The fight was even. I think I had Ward slightly ahead but either way he was starting the gain control and there was a long way to go in the fight. Kovalev looked beat. Stop sooking and get over it. Kovalev is now 0 - 2 against Ward. He can scream for a rematch as much as he likes and Ward will beat him again.

[dickbelden]

KOVALEV was cheated in 2 straight fights---pathetic ! he won both WARD fights !

[Impractical Poster]

I'm thinking Jip might be facing a ban soon. He's getting awfully close to crossing the line with his racial talk.

It's long over due.. people have been banned for far less than he's done.
His racist garbage has no place on a boxing forum

[joe strong]

Well this fight did distract a few away from Povetkin's drug problems. It only took 18 months...

[world ranked]

Jip, you should relax a little dude. It is apparent that you score boxing while clouded with bias. I can't stand ward either, but damn... try to be a tad bit objective.

A little Objective is all I ask and little common sense we good

[Raff The Frenchman]

Well according to the rules, Ward should have been disqualified for those low blows.

According to the rules, Kovalev would've been disqualified first for rabbit punches.

[IKSRTFO]

Did anyone bother to watch the referee's instructions to what was considered low or not? He points to Kovalev's belt line and says it is good BEFORE the fight.

Stop being reasonable while we are being buthurt fanboys.

The borderline shots were low.
The body shots were low.
The head shots were low.
Kovalev's clinching was actually Ward ruining the fight as a favour for Al Haymon.
Kovalev putting Ward in a headlock was just fine.
