    Yeah, but he did with intention. :(

    Ward has proven he could beat a top fighter like Kovalev without resorting to dirty tactics. He has an amazing talent and athleticism.

    That's just Ward trying to spin it making him out to be whiter than white.

    Like I've already said in other posts Ward could get caught hanging out of the back of a goat and there are people who'd still blame the goat.

    Yeah he also said Kovalev never hurt him in the first fight and that Kovalev dropping him was the first time he'd been down, he's full of **** and a liar, that should be evident by now.

    There was no reason for him to, Kovalev was toast on his feet. I don't think the final shot was intentional beyond his strategy to barrage the body all night, which resulted in some blows going low as they often do in that scenario. Weeks looked ready to stop the fight at any moment and Ward tripling up to the body with hard shots was enough to do it.

    Blantant lie. His entire game plans are always about fouling like a mf repeatedly. And then he says it wasn't intentional? Good joke.

    Correct. Kov was out of gas from the 6th if not earlier.
