He is one of the dirtiest top skilled fighters I have ever seen. Top skilled fighters don't need to resort to the type of tactics he uses. The only other fighter I can think of that was as dirty was Bernard Hopkins.

This sport is a joke because it rewards fighters who use tactics like Ward does.

You say that because maybe was on Kov side, ward hit 2x or max 3x low blows in total fight, most supposedly low blows were in belt line which is legal. Hopkins and Margarito were dirty boxers, but Ward never, he was always a strategist. Kov complained many times as if were low blows faking hurts, but when Weeks discovered the fakes he told to kov continue, but I can't say when it happened were legal or real low blow. There are many actors and trickster/cheaters like Mexicans and Argentinians/Argenti, these are the worst type of boxers to face.

There is a huge difference between intentional and not intentional low blow, sometimes happens, and in most fights happens. When Lomachenko took 15x intentional low blows from garbage Salido nobody seem said sh.it, strange isn't it?

I think Ward's low blows were intentional.

Of course people were and are still talking about Salido's low blows making a difference. Ward's low blows were for sure intentional. He is too good to mistakenly keep hitting below the belt.

Perhaps he should try something to improve his stamina over twelve rounds.

They were blatantly intentional. He couldn't win the fight conclusively any other way. And it seemed to be his dream to put right the first one beyond doubt, I guess he thinks he did that

They were more bladder shots than groin shots though.

Tons of top sportsmen do anything they get away with to win. It's not something unique to boxing.

Belt was legal so not nearly as clear as people are making out.
