What's funny is, Ward said that the shots were "border". How does he even take pride in that? It's like saying, "I almost hit him in the cock & balls, but not quite, so my win is legit and fair". Any man knows that region is fragile as hell. Three or four shots in the same area? Come on now. I'm surprised Kovalev didn't collapse.
wards 'retirement' is a sham....

he didnt 'fall out of love with the sport'. he knew the writing was on the wall, theres dangerous fighters in and around his division and he should have had a loss in the 1st kovalev fight and he cheated to win the 2nd fight. People whine about older fighters picking easier opponents, well at least they are still fighting and didnt retire when the division heated up.
a fighter who wants to retire doesnt get on the phone personally to frank buglioni to try and make a fight.
hes 'retired' so he can pick and choose a nice easy payday when it pops up. ..Comment

it doesn't work that way. it's either a level field or it isn't. Nobody know what Ward does or doesn't do if he is warned early on about low punches, the fight changes.Comment

He was losing most of the rounds up until that "low blow" and was battered throughout the 8th including the right hand that hurt him badly. He was ready to go and looking for a way out of the fight. The excuses for Kovalev won't stop for a while, but no one will remember him 5 years from now.Comment
