He was being literal, I don't understand why his fans are trying to find a loop whole in his statement. He's a dirty fighter, with a history of being dirty, and said that he got dirty. It's pretty black and white to me and it's a reach to claim that he meant anything else.
Ward's strategy was to smother Kovalev's power by getting inside. Kovalev wanted to prove he was as strong as Ward so we got an ugly fight.
All of Ward's fights are ugly. He's undefeated so he must be doing something right. but if you're looking for clean punches, crisp combinations etc, Ward's not your go to guy.
