Is Andre Ward the dirtiest fighter in boxing history?

[Bjl12]

The dude literally won a fight on a nut shot:



Who else has done that?

Well Ward made someone quit. Ref called the fight, but the KO was coming.

If you're not biased you can see Kovalev was on the way out. Biggest injustice that fight was the ref getting in the way of Ward TKO'ing Sergio

I don't disagree, the stoppage still happened after hitting the guy in the nuts.

Can't dispute that. Duran could be rough when he wanted to be.

If you are not biased you would observe that there were a series of low blows. The last of which was obvious to everyone and should have been followed by a time out for Kov to recover..I mean if you weren't bias you would observe that.

If you weren't biased you would realize Ward was hitting someone completely bent over, sitting on the ropes. Ward was doing what he was supposed to do.

The ref needs to uphold the rules and give a standing 10 count.

IF ROPES ARE HOLDING SOMEONE UP...IT'S A KD...STANDING 10 COUNT

Ref robbed AW. Ward had Kovy sitting down and he didn't fuss or argue one bit at the time of stoppage or shortly after. It wasn't until much later he realized he had, indeed, been KRUSHED.

And the "low blows" didn't cause the stoppage. It was the fu.cking right hand to the Jaw. Sent QUITvalev wobbling backwards into no-man's land. That's what started the beginning of the end of the fight.



Here's a link to the FIRST time Ward seriously hurt QUITvalev on a C L E A R L Y legal punch

Here's where the fight basically ended

Again, if you're unbiased you'll see the fight was very, very, very clearly over and it was because Kovalev got hurt and wanted out. Was there a low blow at some point? Definitely. Was it Ward's fault? At least half. Did the low blow determine the outcome? Not even close.
