Well where does this leave us?
Personally, I thought it should have been a 10 count and not a stoppage, seemed like a bizarre decision. As to whether the blows were low, I figured they were belt line but legal.
But now Weeks himself is saying on replay they were low blows and that it was a mistake to stop the fight.

"I am being criticised a lot unjustly. I have watched the replay and have to admit I was wrong I missed the lowblows from Ward #WardKovalev2"
"I stopped the fight due to Kovalev not protecting himself had I saw the shots were low I would not have stopped the fight. My mistake"
Probably no chance to see a third fight unless Kovalev gets himself a mandatory position or beats Adonis.
