Comments Thread For: Ryabinskiy Livid: Ward-Kovalev Stoppage Was F***ing Nuts!

[Pigeons]

Kovalev was looking for a way out of the fight. This GIF clearly shows Kovalev doubling over and begging for the ref's help from a LEGAL 1-2 to the beltline earlier in the round. He would later repeat these same actions in the final sequence. Sure, the last shot Ward landed was low, but Kovalev was finished and looking for a way out.
