It would have been nice to see Kov get at least a few minutes to recover from some of those low shots.
I’m a huge Kovalev fan but he was gassed regardless. He wasn’t going to last 4 more rounds.
5 minutes is a lot of recovery time, that's what a fighter should get when he is hit low. I'm not saying Kov comes back but we'll never know for sure. Like I've said many times, the ref robbed both fighters of a conclusive end.
