The way Klitschko did it to Povetkin was cause for reprimand and the ref should have done something about it. Same thing with the way Khan did it to Collazo - these guys simply do not like their opponents to get close and they should have been penalised for clearly employing such a strategy.
However, the way Kovalev did it to Ward was simply to defend himself from headbutts because Ward likes to rush in head-first like a fucking billygoat. It was a smart way to negate Ward's dirty tactics and it worked. It prevented Ward from mauling and wrestling, and kept things as more of a stand up boxing match where Kovalev showed himself superior. He should employ the same tactics in the rematch if he wants to have the same success.
Otherwise he may end up looking like this:

These are just from the first round.
But that is not what this thread is about. It's about Headshots not knowing the basic rules of boxing.
