i agree he was getting worked. but saying ward is a dirty fighter is apparently blasphemy around here. dude landed several low blows. anyone who's ever taken a shot to the shaft knows damn well that it's difficult to deal with, and can most definitely change the course of a fight. and i'm guessing none of us have been punched low by someone like ward.It is beyond stupid and everyone who says that last shot was clean is a liar. RR says it was low and he actually knows Andre Ward and deals with boxing for a fucking living. So pretty much case closed right there.
Again, I don't think it changed the outcome. Kov was losing that fight regardless and probably getting stopped. He had nothing for Ward. Standing there throwing nothing punches with his mouth wide open getting rocked horribly by a guy without serious power. Ward owns Kov's ass low blows or not.
but i don't get it, ward has all the tools to keep it clean, yet he doesn't. in the first fight he was shooting for fucking double legs, and leaning into headbutts, in this one he was punching him in the bollocks. why?! he can box, he has speed, he has power. he was cleaning kovalev's clock with good clean shots and finished him with a nutshot. had he kept it nice and clean it would've been an awesome victory, but now this dirty shit will be brought up any time the fight is mentioned. it's so frustrating.
