Kovalev was badly hurt by that big right hand moments B4 the stoppage. He was holding on 4 dear life

virgil said he trained ward to ko kovalev, he didn't tell us ward would do this by landing low blows.

 

So long RHinoz

 

Kovalev wasn't hurt from that right hand at all, he even said so in the post fight press conference, He was fine and he barely felt it, it was girly punch, in fact he wasn't hurt from any of wards punches only the low blows, Those legal belt line shots that had him keeled over did not hurt at all, he keeled over in sheer laughter.

It was clear that kovalev was winning the fight, and after that right hand kovalev was coming on strong and ward was fading big time, There is no doubt kovalev was going to stop ward at any moment, He was full of energy and was even going to stand up in the corner during the following rounds to show his superior stamina. Ward had no chance.

 

A couple of shots hurt him.

 

No one denying that.

 

what was he holding on to?

 

Ward don't gass out, he's relentless in his pressure. There was no way Kova was going through to the end.

 

Funny how low blows disappear when people don't wanna see them isn't it?
