Wow, very classy by Ward.

The commission kept its $22,500 ... Guess the commission wasn't in a charitable mood.

I really don't like Ward but good for him, very classy thing to do.

Classy move by Ward.

Could someone explain to me why the commission gets a cut? They're are not the ones taking any blows. The whole 20% should go to the fighter.

Ward is a classy guy, he didn't want to fight his friend Dirrell in the Olympics so he jumped up to LHW and won Gold against a bunch of monsters. True warrior, people keep questioning his character, but his career and actions speaks for itself.

I'm with you guys - very classy move. I feel like if I were in that position I would be angry at Smith for deliberately missing weight, and therefore not even consider giving him back that money. For Ward to do that shows that he's a bigger man than me. You can learn from an act like this.

Seems Ward must have accepted Smith's explanation and apology for not making the weight. Kudos to Andre, that's a very sporting gesture.
