Why wasn't Krusher fighting back??????

[RussB23]

This he had nothing left.....he would of been out cold in the next round or two.....

Well they should have let him go out that way then not stop **** prematurely so people have to debate over **** like this.

[sicko]

He was HURT! WTF! I mean Ward did Load Up Fully on that punch NO QUESTION he was dazed from that shot! His mistake was not clinching I guess too prideful to do that! But yeah some punches did go low

[BKM-]

He got hurt by a flush right hand from Ward who put everything into that shot, and when you take multiple low blows while you're in survival mode you look like you're 'not fighting back'.

[Suckmedry]

because his nuts got fawking pulverized. and that ****** ref did some voodoo magic

[The Viper]

He obviously was hurt and in survival mode until the end of the round. But have you never seen a guy hurt before?

Seriously, it happens all the time where a guys is hurt but not to the point that a fight needs to be stopped. Ward wasn't fighting back in round 2 of last fight after the KD but I would have been up in arms if they stopped it at that point. He needed to get to the corner to gather himself and he came back strong. Same thing may or may not have happened here but he should have had the chance.

Ward was still moving....... kov was just standing there hunched over taking shots.............no movement....didn't complain to the ref either about the stoppage........

[ManOManBoxing]

honest question?????

Let me punch you in the nuts with that much firepower and see how well you respond.

[JaguaresMx]

Because he was hurt

But so what? Its boxing

We should have seen him next round. Maybe Ward ends him, but thats boxing

Just look at Wlad vs Joshua.

Maybe all the hipsters dont know this, but boxers get hurt in there and sometimes comeback

[bigbawse]

This answers your question. It doesn't matter how important the fight is. Getting hit low is a game changer.

The much better question to ask is why wasn't he complaining of the stoppage?

to me he said low blow as best he can in his limited english

[VatoMulatto]

Kov was rocked hurt and tired.

[Lester Tutor]

Kovalev was looking amazing on that back foot trying to flee!
