Was a bit unsightly like but she didn't come across great either. Anyway, I think that's it because neither fight has generated much in the way of PPV figures which gives the Ward camp even less incentive to got for a 3rd rematch. Ward might retire because he's signed to HBO and Stevenson is with Showtime I think and Stevenson doesn't seem interested enough in making hard defences or at least not enough to stop that getting in the way. That's why the end of this fight was such a shame because, like the first one, it was a genuine match-up between two of the top 5 P4P fighters in their prime (more or less).

It's available with THC in Palmersville @Tooj

There's some other stuff but that's the most recent. He posted a pic on Twitter of him with a kid who was wearing a t-shirt and the t-shirt was a chimp with boxing gloves on and his comment was 'Adonis (i.e. Stevenson) looks great'. I mean I do think Adonis Stevenson was unwilling to fight him at the time but that's not really an excuse. You can perhaps understand why John David Jackson and Don Turner didn't seem to arsed about his defeat to Ward.

Haven't seen it yet but think it's been great so far. Is this the final season?
-
Just guessing but maybe he's referring to suggestions from the divvy KKKovalev fan boys on social media who were suggesting he was corrupt and favoured the black fighter.

It was an unsatisfactory stoppage because the last blow was definitely low and the two previous to that probably were but the reason they happened is because Kovalev was already doubled over and in survival mode because of the right hook bang on the button and the subsequent body shots in round 8. Kovalev was ducked down (arguably so low as to break the rules himself) and covered his body in a desperate attempt to protect his midriff. He'd already taken some great body shots in the final round and I think it was only a matter of time. That's not defending the stoppage but putting the way it happened into a bit of context, i.e. his position at the end was a result of what had gone on in that round rather than them standing toe-to-toe then the doubling over coming about as a result of a low blow. You could argue of course that Kovalev should have been given time to recover (he should've imo) and if Weeks have taken a point off Ward then (had Kovalev recovered) it may have been crucial in a close contest. I think Ward probably would've still won but it was very competitive before that final round even if I do think Kovalev was fading from about two rounds before (which seems to be an issue with him). Ward wins a 3rd fight if it ever happens and I think Kovalev knows that. Duva will be desperate for it because, even after two consecutive losses, Kovalev is about all she has left. The bloke comes across as a horrible racist cunt but, in terms of his ability, he deserves a better promoter.

Plenty dirty (and dangerous) tactics by Kovalev prior to the stoppage

Don't be a cant

Think it's canny nice but the cheap stuff is ropey. The sugar cube ritual stuff is pretty preposterous though iyam. Just have it with equal parts absinthe and ice cold water with sugar syrup (to taste). It's a bit 'Bovril', as CT would say, though

RIP. Think everyone of a certain age would've seen a load of his programmes whilst growing up

You don't have to try, it comes naturally -
That's probably more than the first installment on Pickford too.

Nice pic of the best punch of the contest

Does he do the Jamaican version of University Challenge? -
Let us be clear, he had no beard.

May gets called a coward with plenty justification but the only reason she's still leading her party is because none of her fellow Tory MPs have the balls to take over for the EU talks

Bad stoppage but Ward deservedly won. Again

Fairly self-evident I'd have thought

Bet RTG was awash with rumours he was a MLF until they found out he wasn't interested

Not really. I've only ever really heard it used in regard to spirit measures or camera lenses. I'm sure that Argos bloke on youtube uses it a lot though
