Boxing / Re: Misc Boxing News
« on: June 25, 2017, 12:05:35 pm »I just got back yesterday, I was looking for the replay couldn't find but ran into the results FML EVEN MORE. Those damn news sites that like to pop up to show recent news of that fight. fuk them. It read "Ward stops kovalev in 8" so i was like fuck it and looked on video sites.
The videos below unavailable but found a full fight video.
Good start, kovalev was controlling the fight better, ward got in those moments but kovalev was controlling with his jab in the last round that beastly right hard i think from ward with kovalev coming in really hurt him. btw i found a video with sky sports as broadcaster which malignaggi as the commentator.
Malignaggi was saying all the shots that ward hit was low. on boxing short you have 2 areas, the belt, white stripe across the top of the shorts and the area below it. Ward was hitting some on that white area and others it was below and kovalev is just so unprofessional. When he got hit with the first low blow he leant forward and ref saw this low blow and gave him time and everytime ward hit him in that area he would lean forward and risk getting hit, everytime he leans forward to indiicate he got hurt even though the ref didn't see. The last seconds of the stoppage, true he got hit with a power shot and andre ward just attacking low on the belt and below (the belt being the white band top of the shorts) and kovalev just stayed leant forward as ward just getting those shots in and then the stupidest thing happens is the ref moves ward away and just stops the fight like wtf you doing.
what will happen now to kovalev's career and max kellerman was praising ward and rejecting the notion of the low, even in the replay he hit below the belt and kellerman say's borderline lol it's a conspiracy lol.
dude.. i'm in disbelief that people keep saying all of those blows were borderline/fine: most of them were LOW.
most of those were clearly low and devastatingly low at that.. Max even convinced Kovalev to say they were borderline at the end, when Kovalev had previously said (during the same interview) that they were low.
It looks like Ward was on his way to ending Kovalev but god damn he took some low shots to finish that fight.. It seems that everyone just wants to imagine there's complete closure now, by disregarding the fact that Ward hit him low like 4 times to finish that fight. I mean, I don't want to see Kovalev/Ward III so...
Just shocking that people would say those were mostly legal shots.
Insanity.
At least Malignaggi is keeping it real..
As for Kovalev's reaction, it's hard to react voluntarily when you get hit low .. it's like a shockwave through your nervous system. I'm sure Kovalev was wrecked by a few of those low shots. He should have taken a knee then complained, not just stayed on the ropes. His decision to not go down was the bad decision imho, he should have gone way down and then complained like a motherfucker.
