Comments Thread For: Roc Nation: This is Ward's First Step Toward Kovalev

[j0zef]

STOP LYING! Wtf are you saying? Only fight Ward at 160? First off, he said he would fight Ward at 164 for 50/50 and he NEVER said it was final. That was a generous offer by GGG, but if Ward didn't want the catchweight, he could have given up that ridiculous 50/50 split he didn't deserve and get the fight to go to 168. But he didnt respond to that offer for 5 weeks, right after the GGG vs Lemieux fight was signed because he was too shook to decline the fight and seem like a wuss. You REALLY think he thinks he's ready for a killer like GGG at 168 when he's looking to fight Alexander Brand at 175? Rohan Murdock? You really think GGG is that easy that Ward could beat him easy coming off of a layoff where he needs 3 tuneups to get over? No, it was purely theatrical on Ward's part to keep his name out there and generate interest. Stop it. You have no point here.

Well said.

Uhoh, hopeful. Sounds like even Roc got their expectations tempered

Ward's crap fight is on PPV, not the main event, and not coming out of HBO's budget. Can't muster enough care to get angry about it.

Part of me wants to complain about it more than if it were on HBO. It's the co-main event on the second biggest PPV of the year. If it were on HBO I could just choose to not pay attention to it.

But then I remember what a poopshow the undercard to May-Pac was, and this seems like a great deal for 79.99

No, I was the one criticizing him for calling out Froch at 168, but would only fight Ward at 160. That's a fighter who is already admitting defeat.

DAMN, **** LOKING SO BAD FOR WARD YOU HAVE TO MAKE **** ABOUT ABOUT GGG TO TRY TO JUSIFY.

Now try to say something true. GGG said he'd meet in the middle. That's 164 biiiiitch.

Right. Ward is fighting bad SMW and dragging them up to 175. WTF was he gonna do to GGG.

It's clear why Ward waited for GGG to move on to start talking.

For being the Son of God, he sure acts like a punk. Ward.

There is no way to make the sound anything but pathetic.

This site is boring Boxingscene needs gritty journalism like the stories with Yusef Mack doing adult movies or Floyd taking steroids. Where are the stories people care about like what is the Klitchko's role in Crimea, how does Andre Ward do business with a known satanist, is Chavez Jr using boxing as a front to peddle ******* for the cartels???

So what I'm hearing is, you want gossip, bull shnit and TMZ articles. Take that elsewhere, the yusef mack story hurt my stomach the rest are falsified gossip.

It's funny that all you miss the whole point of him willing to fight at 168 except Ward. True GGG fans at it's finest.

Lets be real, 164 ain't much better than 160 after he put 168 on notice. And you can say 50/50 was ridiculous, but 50% of 150 buy ain't shnit.I'm guessing Ward would let him have the 60% on that, but the immediate 164 cw through that off. Ward is actively calling out Kov at 175 while ggg is looking for canelo or cotto to go to the full 160, something they don't have to do at all to make money. Ward can take a fight or two to get used to the weight, but in the end, he's fighting the big dog, and soing it soon. ggg on the other hand is looking for an old guy and a young guy to meet him where he's comfortable.

[Progrssive_Jedi]

Ward is making it far too easy to clown the **** out of him

I wouldn't enjoy this pathetic **** so much if a bunch of GGG haters hadn't inserted Wards name every time GGG comes up.

GGG wants shot a MW Lineal Champ. Fights another MW champ. And moved on after Ward repeatedly turns down a fight.

Then you guys spend months yammering about how Great Ward is. Pfft!

If GGG was doing this, I'd disown him.

Some of you are wearing it like a badge of honor.

Who really believes this turd wants Crusher or GGG?

"We are hopeful this is the first step toward Kovalev"

LMAO!

My God, does your arms hurt. I can't stretch that far.

GGG and Canelo rehydrate to 170-175. Both of them.

Canelo is gonna be Lineal MW champ. He can vacate, the ***** probably will.

Why the hell should GGG allow Canelo a shot at 3 MW belts at 155.

There is no ****ing 155 division.

Ward Rehydrates up to 185. 15 pounds above GGG, a CW made sense. Especially for no titles.

Ward can't make it, sure. Because he is a LHW.

Canelo is a MW who Rehydrates the same as GGG, and it's a mandatory.

I love the old guy, young guy dichotomy.

Cotto-35
GGG-33

Damn,nicking on a old guy.

Canelo being 25 helps him. He is gonna be MW champ, he has to defend it or bug off.

Ward 31
Brand-38

I'd start doing research before I'd talk about age.

Ward is a LHW who hasn't been in ring as a SMW since 2013, two years.

Froch is a SMW.

GGG wouldn't have to give up as big of a weight advantage against Froch as he would have against Ward.

As it turns out, Ward can't make 168.

Plus, he probably should of demanded Froch give him a CW. But the Froch fight would have been for Title, so it should be at 168.

But none of that is equal to this ***** ass **** Ward is doing now.
