近日霍普金斯在接受BoxingScene.com 采访时解释道：我想那是合法的，我是说打在腰带边际那一拳。但是我认为科瓦列夫被终结之前沃德的右手対科瓦列夫施加了压力，并伴随猛烈的内线击打使沃德致胜。 听好！我尊重科瓦列夫，我们之间不时互通书信。安德烈沃德在他们的一番战中已经吃透科瓦列夫。知道自己在比赛的后期更有耐力体能更强，这就是我们所看到的在比赛中局，科瓦列夫喘大气搂抱增多。。。。沃德用他的内线技术和身体击打，使科瓦列夫尽早陷于疲惫。中局体力透支使科瓦列夫不能硬撑到最后。
There has been some controversy over the stoppage, with several observers (including Kovalev himself), claiming that some of the body shots that were landed by Ward were illegal, because they strayed way below the belt-line. Back in 2014, Kovalev dropped and decisioned Bernard Hopkins to unify the IBF/WBA/WBO titles. Hopkins believes last week's stoppage was justified. He disagrees with the critics who felt Ward landed several low blows and he also felt Weeks made the right decision to stop the fight because Kovalev was already a completely spent fighter. "I think it was legit. I think one [punch] was borderline on the belt. But I think leading up to that [stoppage], with the right hand and also with the pressure, and the roughness inside [is what won it]," Hopkins explained to BoxingScene.com. "Listen, I respect Sergey and we text each other back and forth sometimes... Andre Ward figured him out in the first fight, and knew that he was stronger and had more endurance when it got late in the fight - which is the mid-rounds where you seen Sergey breathing and holding more than he's done in any other fight. "Andre Ward used an inside game, and muscle, and body attack to get Sergey tired early, to get the payout in the mid-rounds and not even later. It didn't get to later." |
