    Fun Fact;



    If your shorts are pulled up far above your navel, it doesn't make it a low blow if you're hit......not below the belt.......but directly on the belt.



    It's only a true low blow if you get hit in the nuts.

    No ? , Holyfield used to have his ? pulled up damn near to his armpits back in the day. Bottom line is the one Ward hit Kovalev with in the 7th was straight in the groin and Weeks didn't even issue a warning.

    Any complaints about low blows are Kovalev's own fault for two reasons.

    1. He got caught turning his back, complaining and crying wolf, a few minutes prior, about shots that were CLEARLY on the belt and legal.

    2. If he were truly bothered he should have taken a knee instead of lowering his head to a point that not only made any body shot on/above the belt (and avoiding the groin) impossible but also made it impossible to see the where those body punches were landing.

    Because it isn't as if even on of those fouls were intentional. A smart fighter takes a knee in that position. Kovalev was either too prideful or too dumb to realize it in that situation.

    Uhh, if your talking about the low blow in the 7th Round that Kovalev complained about and Weeks did nothing about...it was clearly below the belt on replay.

    Fans aren't consistent when it comes to who they want warnings for.. Hatton can foul all night Porter can cave man foul all night.kovalev can hit ward behind the head all night but oh ward should a been warned for low blows? I remember mares beating agbekos nuts like a drum and zab getting nut shotted by cotto. Just shows how perspectives change. I'm just happy the racist bully got his just due. ? him and duva

    Kovalev ain't the best but yeah, Ward beat who was perceived to be the best. Now watch him vacate instead of fighting his mandatory, Beterbiev.

    Beterbiev fights in the eliminator July 29. He will win and become Ward's mandatory but I know Ward won't fight him. Too much risk, not enough reward.

    Still waiting for one of the "top dogs" to fight my guy haha. He in the same boat as Rigondeaux and Lomachencko - a vast amateur background.

    Word, I remember when he first went pro. You don't think if he builds his name up a lil more Ward would take the fight? Really wouldn't make sense to move back down to 168 and there aren't really any huge names at 175.

    I honestly see the top dogs at 175 staying away from Beterbiev haha. That's just my opinion though.

    I doubt it but I guess we'll never know. Beterbiev would smash Kovalev.

    Adonis would rather fight nobodies bruh haha

    Since he KO'd Dawson 4 years ago, he ain't did ? . He did fight Cloud right after but took 7 rounds to get Cloud out of there by corner stoppage. Beterbiev got him out of there in 2 rounds in only his 6th fight as a pro.

    I'm convinced, all that fool do is talk. Stevenson ain't trying to fight no one. 4 years bruh... He ain't fought no one. Beterbiev would smash this fool face in.
