I think there's no doubt who the best P4P fighter is in the world today.
Never expected that.
Shame that Sergey couldn't just admit the loss...there will be no trilogy.

I love Pauli, dude always tells it how it is.. BS stoppage
Truth is you just don't recover from being hurt repeatedly to the body if you are gassed. But I wish he would have ruled he was on the ropes to give it a count and it went on to the ending the fight deserved
Also, the fight didn't seem so taxing that Sergei should have gassed again. You have to wonder if the drinking has began to hinder him. That's 3 in a row now he hasn't looked so good as the fight has progressed
I've never seen the man drink myself say I can't act as if I know. But I do know it is rumored and whenever his camp is asked about it they don't deny it but rather just say "he's Russian, Russians like Vodka". The response seems telling, but it may be built up to more than it is. Just, the evidence seems to support the rumor.
A night of crazy stoppages all around.
You cannot say that unless you let it continue. Either give it a count or let the man fall on his own, either way Kovalev was still winning that fight by a margin. It looked like low blows to me and an earlier low blow was completely ignored too. Though it turns out that the judges were paid off. Kovalev outlanded Ward in most of the rounds yet 2 judges still had him up. Makes no sense. The ending made no sense. The previous fight apparently made no sense. Mayweather versus bum makes no sense. God help Golovkin/Canelo, it could be boxings funeral when it should have been the year of greatness.
If there is a standing 8 count then it should have been given.
It was only going to get worse for Kovalev in the championship rounds but the standing 8 count should have been issued.
If Ward is smart he will hang around for a GGG catchweight fight.
