Should Ward's low blows, headbutts, elbows and excessive holding be illegal?

[mlac]

Yes of course. that is the exact reason why he never fought without hometown advantage.
Essentially he was being allowed to cheat. fanboys will claim this is just wards elite 'inside game'

This is basically it

Most of those criticisms are way overblown.

Ward didn't stop Kov on low blows, so thats a lie, in fact Kov hit Ward with low blows.

Ward clinched a lot and fought out of it and on the inside.

Headbutts happen to every boxer, especially when you fight on the inside. He was dismantling Kessler before a headbutt, the outcome would've ended with an SOG victory regardless.

another disillusioned fool, get off the synthetic weed

beat kov twice to

in fantasy land

you probably also believe elections are honest

They have always been illegal but it's up to the ref to enforce the rules and sometimes they don't .

Ward was borderline vs Kov.

What Ward was allowed to do vs Kessler was a travesty of the sport.
Elbows, forearms etc. Perma busted Kessler's eye socket and he was never the same again.

The broner and mayweather fans will claim "those are smart veteran tactics" or "part of the sweet science" but at the same time disown ward when he says he thinks fury beat wilder. Lmao

[DaNeutral.]

it was all illegal but he got a pass for it all and none of those 9 fans that filled up the crowd in the leisure center ever complained about it either.

How come when heads are coming together it's the other fighter that gets cut not Ward or when there are intense inside battles it the other fighter that usually gets hit low.
