If he took a knee it would be a 10-8 round and if he punched Ward low you know the ref wouldn't be having it. You knew the fix was in with the judges, the refereeing, with HBO. It was an awful example for boxing to set and it should have been something special. Once again boxing has a black eye. I won't give credit to a cheat who always has the advantages and who always has his cheating overlooked. Once is an accident, again and again a habit. Andre Ward is spoiled. Personally I think Kovalev should have wacked him in the balls. Maybe next time he could do it in round 1 and end the fight there and then. As hard as he can to the balls and of course he would be disqualified. Like Khan/Barrera, a homeboys fix.
