The fight was stopped because Kovalev was seriously hurt about 20 secounds prior, stayed on the ropes, and took 3 shots without defending himself. People ask why didn't Weeks give him an 8 count... Why didn't Kovalev take a knee, then get up and make his case to ref that the shots were low?

Because the fight got stopped there. Kovalev was massaging his balls for about 1 second when Weeks came in to stop it.

I think his pride is too much that he would never willingly retreat to his knees
