Did Ward end Kovalevs career??

[Elroy The Great]

i hope not. hes the 2nd best lhw.

He's mentally shot that's for sure. Dude is a nut job. Add in his garbage promoter and enablers around him. Might not ever be the same

Seriously? Yes I think he has. That fear is gone, I don't see any other fighter looking at Kovalev the same way ever again. Take away the stoppage and analysis the last few rounds and am still shocked that it was Kovalev in there.

I remember him against Cleverly and it was Cleverly looking to the ref, his corner etc to save his life, to see Kov doing the same!!! Am still in shock, the fact that he lost doesn't shock me, it was his reaction to getting hurt that shocked me.

I'd say yeah...low blow smoe blow dude got owned once that right hand hit it was over and if he hadn't bent over he was going to get laid out. Thing is Kovalevs good albeit kind of a three trick pony...but he was damn good...whose else ever won so many rounds against andre? andre even gave him his due which was classy considering all the crap kovalev talked. i scored the first fight a draw. Andre might not hit as hard as some claim or this or that they don't like but to write off this guys career over his dirty tactics is to negate all his other amazing attributes. Has andre used dirty tactics? Hell yeah, but to even admit that very last punch hit low, I still can't believe at the last three seconds Ward felt it was necessary to **** shot Kov. He was on his way out done done done. No way it was deliberate and calculated.Kov was rabbit punching all night too. The best man won that night. For Kov to whine is assinine. Andre was simply better down the stretch... did he "dominate" and win every round? No, but boxing can be similar to a game of 9-ball; a guy can make the one through 8 and miss the 9 and the other guy comes and makes the 9, well its still a win. If kov were mentally strong he would learn from this and to stay relevant he will get back in the ring quick against Beterbiev or Stevenson or Alvarez. To me what happen last night was just what it must have been like when Ali knocked out Foreman. Nobody thought Ali had a chance but Foreman gassed, the rest is history. Is Kovalevs career over? Maybe if he cant recover mentally and face prime top contenders but I don't think he will be forgotten in boxing history at all but hof at this stage? Meh

Didn't end his career, but after those punches to the balls, Kovalev may not be able to make any more children.
