Both guys were in the fight and personally feel the fight was stopped prematurely.. Terrible stoppage. At least call it a knockdown and give the guy a chance to come back. Ward hit him with multiple low blows throughout the fight but he hurt Kovalev with a solid right. He gets the win but sadly it's another controversial one. What surprised me most was Ward said he wants to be a Heavyweight champion and when questioned about fighting Anthony Joshua.. He replied "Anything is possible". No Ward "suicide is possible" the only possible outcome in that fight is you leaving the ring on a stretcher. Even Max Kellerman who thought Ward has lost it.
