    It looks like there will be a formal protest filed tomorrow. Good. This needs to be looked at. If the last punch is ruled low this has a small chance to be turned to an NC.

    It's my understanding that wouldn't even look at the replay last night.

    To me even though Kovalec was hurt, the fight should not end on that sort of foul.

    This is the problem with boxing. Bad reffing and bad judging allowed to stand. I am betting it will get review in name only.

    Does anyome think kova would have seen the fight out had it been ruled low an given time?

    The guy was mentally done.
    Ward had him on shaky legs with a right hand

    I think kovalev was getting KTFO even with no last accidental low blow and with it continuing. Ward had already dissected him and was destroying him with ease. He was going to the canvas.

    Even if he was going to be KOd, at least give the former champ the chance to survive

    It should be ruled a no contest . Then Kovalev can fight a third fight with Ward . This way ward can beat on Kovalev' s body some more.

    Whether he was going to get KOd is irrelevant. The last punch before the stoppage was low and to me it was the worse and the most obvious one.

    A fight should not be stopped on that sort of illegal punch.

    The blow was low very low. It should be a NC. However after seeing Rigo get a ko win on a clearly after the bell punch we all know money talks and everything else walks.

    You are probably right. I'd say 99%. The only time I can recall a fight being changed after the fact is when a fighter fails his post fight drug test.

    To me it clearly looked like Kovalev was done and did not want to continue. I saw no fight in him when he was folding over forward and sitting on the ropes.

    Ward gets unfairly credited with a KO win over Kovalev and that's how it stands. Duva is wasting her time. NSAC is a joke their man won the end

    Ward looked tired too his mouth was open round 8. But Ward lands a big right hand and ooooh let's run to stop Kov real quick.

    To all the GGG fans, Canelo gonna win in Vegas it's set in stone.

    Unfortunately America is where the big money is. Your last line should be in GGG'S camps head. Win by ko at all costs or your losing on points

    part of the reason Ward started breaking him down was the illegal Miguel Cotto type low blows, that he was destroying Kovalev's nuts with.

    Canelo is much cleaner fighter than Ward. But GBP just got the blue print. If Canelo gets in trouble just hit GGG in the dick

    Cracks me up all the butthurt Kovalev fanboys. Give it up. Your boy was done, the only reason the last punch MIGHT have been low was because he bent into it at the waist as Ward was digging, tgat first punch was clearly on the belt which is legal territory, particularly when your hero was wearing his trunks above his belly button. The real issue, and why it was stopped, was because after having his legs turned to jelly, and completely altering his composure he stopped fighting back. You cant do that in modern boxing unless you want the ref to stop it. Ward did the same thing he did last time: he took an overrated fighter with little late round experience deep and drowned him. Move on.
