Ward beating up and dropped by Uzbek boxer in 2004 Olympics

[Loque-san]

Who did Ward beat in the AM's anyone know if it was anyone worth anything? Apparently he's been cherry picking since his AM days, avoiding tournaments with tough competition and finally moving up to light-heavyweight to avoid a stacked division at middle.

Just what I heard though, any truth?

Andre Ward cherry picked his way to an Olympic gold medal. His fights against Makarenko and Haydarov were fixed.

Ward was a huge holder even back then. He was perfecting his holding and wrestling. Ward is one of the worst top guys in boxing to watch. I guess Ward fans must like all that wrestling, clinching, and mauling that he does to excess.

thats not boxing its one guy running at the other trying to chest bounce him

A 20 year old Ward gets roughed up by a 30 year old decorated Uzbekistan boxer who got medals at the World Championships twice before the Olympics.

Robbery there. How did Ward get away with all that holding?

Don't you ever complain about holding you idiot

[Larry the boss]

Ok, Golovkin lost his gold medal in a fixed match against a much more decorated amateur (who actually beat the fighter who dropped Ward in the video). It doesn't prevent all the phonies from screaming 'Ward's GOLD > Golovkin's silver... 'MURICA'.

Stick to the video in question. Haydarov got robbed despite beating Ward pretty soundly. Not only did Ward get away with his usual jab/hug bullsht, but Haydarov didn't even get a point when he put Ward down (~2:00 mark).

Anyway, good find.

What does Golovkin have to do with my post or the video? Stick to the video in question.

Christ, these guys are desperate

The most pathetic fanbase ever.

Why does Andre Ward's existence terrify you so?
