Could be a factor. However, i'm pretty certain the ref called Ward on the first balls shot. And Kovalev only complained a couple of times after that. If he was blatantly going to his knees or something it would make more sense.

There's about a million fights in history that should have been stopped going by tonight.

I do think it's telling Kovalev didn't go berserk though, he took folding way to easy so maybe wanted out
