He said the stoppage was early. Either give a break our give knockdown count.
He said MAYBE. Then he said this is boxing, any second can change the fight.
Maybe we would have gotten a second/third knockdown. But since it was the worst stoppage imaginable for this fight, we would never know.
Ward did look good in that last minute, but anything can happen and we will never know. Could he have put Kovalev down, or at least make him take a knee? Ward was very tired as well so if they got that minute break between rounds, recompose themselves, what would have happened then?
The fight was ruined by that stoppage, and we got nothing concrete, just a bunch of MAYBEs never actually materializing.

Then Kovalev should had taken a knee instead of making himself defenseless.
I don't know how anyone who was watching that fight can say "Kovalev was going to go on to win the fight" with any sort of seriousness at all.
He was DONE.
Kovalev fans should be grateful the fight was stopped the way it was cause had Weeks let it go then the embarrassment for this joke of a fan base would had been 100% worse.

They don't really think he was gonna win. What they ARE doing is creating excuses so that they don't 1. Have to admit he was out classed and beaten up 2. Have to give Andre Ward the credit he is due.

I just wish when Andre caught him with the 2 early body shots he didn't let up because he gave Kovalev a break as he looked at Weeks. He should have just teed off on Kovalevs head.

As a fan of the sport, the stoppage was terrible. What may or may not of happened had the fight gone on is pure conjecture. The fact is the fight was stopped off a low blow and no one should be celebrating that.
