What Kovalev should have done if he thought he was being fouled......

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

Kovalev had that round lost 100%. Therefore, what he should had done was taken a knee. But taking a knee means he would have to get back to fighting which was something he HE DID NOT wanna do. So, subconsciously he did as his mind told him to, become defenseless and have the ref save him.

And no, Im not trolling.

This is what Kovalev should have done to Ward in those instances, fight fire with fire, had he got a DQ, it would have been better than getting a bull**** stoppage from Ward.

Kovalev was already hurt badly from the body shots earlier in the round. Great shots by Ward.
