Provide more than just a gif of the last shot?
The last shot was low but Kovalev was hurt by body shots and finished by that point.

there isnt any, kov leaning forward like that was illegal as well. kov got his ass beat fair n square -
I'm seeing people claim the body shots that hurt him in the middle of the 8th were low. They were NOT.

They can't, because that was the only clear low blow.
Expect more deflection and delusion as a response.....Comment

First thing that jumped at me during the in-ring face off was that kovalev's body looked soft. He wasn't prepared mentally or physically for this fight. Hopefully kovalev fights gvozdyk/smith/ beterbiev next and ward gets stevenson.Comment

There was one in the prior round that was clearly low. I dont have a gif though but it will be easy to make if i have HD footage of the whole fight.Comment

Ward could've finished him right there, but let him off the hook.
Kovalev was already a beaten fighter and being in with a guy like Ward, he will finish you.
The end was inevitable, if the ref gave him an eight count I think Ward would've eventually stopped him in a more spectacular fashion, but he wasn't defending or answering punches and the Ref called it.
You have to understand, it wasn't just the last few punches that swayed the refs mind.
He's seeing Kovalev buckling from body shots like the ones in this GIF, hes seeing hes near done already.
The Ref thought he'd had enough.Comment

I thought it was low at first but I have seen it properly since and it was definitely on the white line swiping across Kov mid-riff.Comment
