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

[SugarRaRobinson]

I'm honestly having a hard time understanding how fighting a 168 lb fighter at 175 is going to help ward prepare for kovalev. It's like getting ready to drive in NASCAR,by practicing on the bumper cars at the fair.

Wards hasn't lost a fight since he was about 12 , so I doubt if he needs your advice to help him maintain being a champion .

And vs prospect Jack he was outdone by Periban and of course journeyman Edwards, KO 1. 38, never fought a top 50 opponent, now coming up in weight

Never said he was the best! I did say he would make a top 5 GGG best list and I stick by that.

"never fought a top 50 opponent" ??? I'm pretty sure both him and Jack are ranked in the top 50...

"Coming up in weight" Again??? Aren't they BOTH coming up in weight? Do you need me to highlight both? If you're going to pick apart my comments you're fair game also...You get mad enough we can see who knows more about boxing when certain th$ngs back the talk up...

[SugarRaRobinson]

Ok Ward nut huggers, y'all been talking s*** about GGG facing bums, which is BS, now coWARD is facing some 40 year old NOBODY has ever heard of. C'MON! C'MON BRING IT! What have you got to say now?! NOTHING!

Before a fighter like Kov u deserve one or two sparring partners , In contrast to GGG who has fought 26 Cans in a row with no one formidable in sight

Relax a lil, he is moving up in weight. A smart boxer wouldn't challenge a champ on his first bout in his division.

Yeah but Ward fans who have him as no 1 or 2 P4P wanted GGG to move straight up and face him at 168

This is a silly comment.

And GGG would still be favored over Dirrell. A lot has happened since then, mainly a new coach that has turned GGG into the monster we see today.



And you're probably right??? But since GGG has ONLY fought the equivalent of Dog Sht and/or Tomato cans covered in dogg sht! I have NO FREAKIN Idea how good or protected he really is? Sht he could be Adrien Broner @130 for all I know and when he moved up he was EXPOSED! Maybe Broner should get with GGG ppl and go down to super FW! I know it will be hard but if he fights 5-6 times a years and is always in training camp he can do it.

This is actually Ward's second step towards Kovalev. His first step was rejected by NSAC as a gross mismatch.


It's funny to see HBO claim they have exclusive rights to Ward, when in reality nobody else was willing to pay Ward to fight. HBO had to lock Ward into an agreement in order to force him to face Kovalev, something I'm skeptical he actually goes thru with. Unless they already have the terms for Ward/Kovalev locked in, I could see him overpricing himself for the fight.

so you're banking on ward being a coward to feel better about little g? knock yourself out. i remember people saying floyd was "forced" to fight pacquiao lol. now ward has been forced to fight kovalev. you know when ward beats kovalev hes the undisputed pound for pound king of boxing right..but you don't wanna see that you got fingers crossed hoping hes not a man of his word and chickens out. you got him confused with golovkin.

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.

Ward didn't deserve 50/50 ???
GGG (the PPV flop with 97k buys) was being generous ???

A loquacious post filled with nothing but raw indigestible sewage . The government must be aiming their CERN partical accelerator right above your house .

Wrong, wrong wrong you don't know much about boxing, enough said.

[robbyheartbaby]

Ward is fighting Kovalev while Golovkin is fighting bums !

Did I do that right ?

No Ward is fighting a tomato can while GGG has been facing the best in the middleweight division, end of.

[robbyheartbaby]

Relax a lil, he is moving up in weight. A smart boxer wouldn't challenge a champ on his first bout in his division.

I know but people have been riding the hell out of GGG for no reason, so it should go both ways.
