I know the blow was low, but it wasn't some devastating punch, he was hit more so on the leg. Virgil Hunter is a veteran trainer, and as the pause in action was happening, Khan was saying to the ref "what are you going to do it was low(probably trying to get a DQ or point deduction), Hunter who has experience plus seen Kovalev quit first hand, recognized his fighter had mentally checked out.
I've seen fighters get hit harder than that, walk it off and get back to the action. Khan was already mentally defeated, and plus with this..he can say he finished the fight on his feet. A win/win
