You really don't know what a brutal body shot is if you think that. Brutal body shots cause a reaction. There was not a single reaction form any Ward body shot.
The man took all of his stamina with those body shots. Seen the grimace of pain on Kovas face every time Ward landed once of those chunky body shots. I suggest you watch the fight on HD then learn how to score a fight. 8)
The body work that ward did was amazing. And forcing Kovalev to struggle all the fight judo-style was a very smart move, excuted beautifuly by ward. Ward exausted kovalev completely, he used kovalev against kovalev himself until kovalev was completely empty. Really smart boxer ward. Beautiful.
Aside from the reaction of not having any snap in his punches and looking punched out in the 11th. Kovalev doesn't strike me as a person that shows pain, he has a good pokerface.
The body work was key and even shook up Kovalev who was wincing and cringing from the open shots Ward was administering. In a rematch, Ward will probably stop Kovalev with body blows. Kov don't like them, one bit.
The only thing that is brutal is the slum where your bottom feeding parents crawled out of, you Puto Kneecan maggot.
Ward landed the more consistent body work and it paid off big time! That inside body work had Kovalev holding on to stop the attack.
Blade runner with his 20th confirmed alt gonna cry? Trump got this immigrant shook.. 8) 7-5, deal with it sonny boy. Hehehehehe
