i had andre losing the first by a point & behind by a point in the second before the fouls. andre had sergey hurt in that second fight but sergey should have been given time to recover from the low blows at the very least with a point taken from andre. andre was lucky not to be disqualified
Oddly enough, exact same on the two fights from what I recall. Not sure about possible DQ. It's just weird thinking Ward going full 175 vs a peaked Beterbiev especially when other than Kovalev scratch and claw wins, his biggest 175 scalp was the terribly weight withered and drained down Dawson. I just always think of Ward at 175 as a bit inconclusive. Superb talent but he would get the physical inside fight of his life with Beterbiev.
