Last time a fight was stoped by body attack?

[-PBP-]

Bradley Vs Rios

[Johnny2x2x]

Please name atleast one fight

Hopkins KOed De la Hoya with a liver shot.

Happens all the time. But this stoppage was more due to the fact Kovalev wasn't defending himself. The ref probably also remembered how he chose to stop defending himself several other times in the last 2 rounds also. Dude turned his back and walked away from Ward when nothing was even happening in round 7. He quit fighting earlier in round 8 from legal body blows and he had stopped a couple other times too. So when he got rocked and was staggering all over the ring being chased, and then got hit and chose to bend over at the waist the ref thought he had too much. And the fact that Kovalev sat his Butt on the ropes defenseless was a bad look too.

Those last 2 rounds Kovalev was a fighter in trouble. Turning away from your opponent and walking away mid fight is a bad sign. Quitting to throw and doubling over multiple times was a sign to the ref he wanted out. Ward won fair and square and Kovalev has only himself to blame for the way it was stopped.
