Ward fans, how do you defend this?

I don't think it would have saved Kovalev from taking an ass whipping if the fight was allowed to continue. But it did rob Ward of getting a conclusive, decisive finish and injected controversy when there didn't need to be any.Comment

I do agree with you about the stoppage. It was terrible.

As a Ward fan, I can not defend it. The punch clearly lands low.
But in general, Ward was very effective on the body and that was his path to victory.
Think about this; the reff could've called a few of Ward's punches low, and could 've deducted him a point. Still Ward would not have given up on the body. He would've kept working on it to a too.
Either way, Kovalev was doomedComment

Clear low blows, if it was the other way around, no way the ref does that!!! No ****ing way, ward is truly blessed, gets the last fight and titles handed to him, got all of his super six fights at home, gets away with blatant cheating head butts in the past and now this!! Low blows and then the fight waved off, the guy cannot and i mean cannot be beaten at home bar a KO, someone somehow will intervene and allow him to cheat or hand him the W, thats the ward story right there. Ward should have been deducted a point and the fight goes on, ****ing idiot ref and ****ing idiot judges last fight tooComment

With the effing preparation for fairness the ref screws it up.
First time the commissioner is seen stepping up in the Rigo/Flores fight.
Who would have thought the ref in the main event won't cooperate in one of most contested, controversial win in history?
No warning on low blows, didn't even give Kov time to recover, no counting before declaring win. It's just effing useless. These clowns never learn.Comment

kovalev can dish it out...but he can't take it.
He's not the same fighter without his Meldonium.Comment
