I'd be willing to make a year long avatar bet that doesn't happen.
I think its a fair assessment he takes a "bum" out next go around cuz its obvious to see thats what they've been trying very hard to do based on rumors & canceled fights, but after that I think there is gonna be a fight vs Shabranskyy, Chilemba, Barrera or at least a Gonzalez or some legit top ten 175lb guy. And for sure HBO isn't gonna let him off of fighting Kovalev.
There is a long time between now and 2 or 3 tuneups when waiting on a Kovalev fight. He's already delayed this first one over 6 months because of an injury so I can definitely see more injury related news in Ward's immediate future. The idea of fighting Kovalev next fall might turn into fall of 2018.

I'd take that bet too.
The Cotto vs Canelo undercard fight seemed like a PR thing more than an injury thing. But who knows maybe Ward is falling apart.
I just think he'll step up in the 2nd fight for sure vs a legit contender & that he'll fight Kovalev. And lol @ you already backing off your original stance from Ward won't fight Kovalev to maybe it just won't happen til 2018.
