Wasn't that Robert Byrd?
Regardless, McMuffin was done. He was staggering all over the ring and couldn't defend himself. That's a warning sign to most refs. Of course, Floyd could've knocked him into oblivion because he was so outclassed and obviously totally gassed out but the result would've been the same.
McMuffin should be happy he ended when he did so he can prolong his career in UFC where he belongs.

Yeah, it was Byrd. I was certain it was week but I guess I was thinking of KOV-Ward II (unless I'm wrong about that as well)

You don’t have to agree but it’s the referrees job to call the fight according to the “Queensberry Rules.” And guess what, referees in every sport miss or blow or intentionally ignore calls. As a fighter, my job is to fight and push the envelope. And plenty of fighters got away with stuff, Holyfield, Tyson, Hopkins, Hagler, Leonard, Mayweather, Chavez, the list goes on and on. And many fighters openly admitted they took advantage of certain things in the ring.

Protect yourself at all times!!!

In every sport, athletes push it to the edge. It’s a man’s sport, win by any means necessary. You must have gotten beaten up as a kid a lot. I grew up on the streets. WE are not having a fair fight at any point. And in that boxing ring, if we fight, I’m pushing the envelope and grabbing every competitive advantage I can to beat you. And I will do it when the ref isn’t looking. There is no such thing as a fair fight anymore, in any sport. Your fantasizing if you think so in boxing, that every fighter plays fair or has ethics inside the ring-LOL!!!
You don’t think GGG or Canelo will do something while they are fighting on the inside to gain an advantage.

I saw how Floyd was pissed at Canelo for something he did that the ref didn’t catch and how Canelo was complaining about stuff Floyd was doing on the inside. And getting back to Ward, he took those shots downstairs after he almost dropped Kovalev with the right hand. The ref could have pulled him off and deducted a point when he was aiming at the body or below the belt on the ropes. The fight could have been halted and Ward deducted a point or it could have been extended. But Ward knew they were borderline shots that were subjectively hard for the ref to make a decision on. And every shot to the body wasn’t below the belt. Ward knew what he was doing. All is fair in war, and Kovalev probably got away with some stuff too.

Again, it’s not Wards job to let up. Like, him, I’m firing at the borderline, if it lands low, it lands low. I will let the ref make a decision. The ref needs to address me. And who is to say, that Kovalev didn’t do stuff he got away with in the 1st or 2nd fights or any of his fights. He just didn’t get caught like most fighters. In the record books, Wards win was recorded as a TKO, that’s all that really matters. You can’t change that so live with it. And live with Ward being an undefeated Future HOFer who beat kovalev not once but twice & with a body shot-LOL!

Whatever. Can't say I agree with you and I think your misguided. For fighters. like Ward and Horn low blows etc.are part of their game plan. As far as Ward goes I thought he lost the first fight narrowly and was going to win the second even without the stoppage. I don't care for him because he's a cheater in my estimation. I have no problem living with Ward beating Kovalev. I'm not a fan of Kovalev in fact I don't like him either.

Really it wouldn't have mattered because he was on his way to a lose anyway.

No Ward is a WINNER and not a cheater. And only a “REAL LOSER” in life would look at someone else who has been successful his entire life on every level and deduce his overall achievements in the ring to being a cheater. That’s an opinion and it’s a loser’s mentality. Always looking for excuses to discredit someone’s else’s success. Ward is a winner in most people’s eyes in and outside of the ring. And people who know a little something about achieving at a very high level in life would unanimously agree that Ward has succeeded professionally. Ward’s career will go down in history as being more successful than Kovalev in the ring. Ward did it his way and he has never been disqualified for cheating or doping or anything in the ring. And he retired and watched Alvarez destroy his leftovers-LOL!!!!

I consider him a cheater and I don't like his style of boxing. He head-butted his way to a win over Kessler. There is a fundamental difference between your point of view and Ward's. Your up front about it but Ward plays Mr. Innocent. Your OK with that apparently. Don't be surprised if others don't share your view.
