    How can HBO count a fight that didn't happen as the first fight in the contract? Did they pay him in November? No. So it doesn't count.

        It's Ward. Is anyone surprised with this ordeal?

            Rafael said this yesterday. It's pretty messed up because they are trying to cheat him out of money and getting ready for Kovalev.

                        Barrera probably ducking the fight. Don't want none of SOG's sick headbutt game.

                            Why do you care? He has no fans, and is irrelevant, right?

                                ... a 3 fight deal with HBO (2 tuneups + Kovalev fight)...

                                ... at this pace, Ward would be ready for Kovalev sometime in 2018.

                                    All Barrera is asking is for Ward to wear a protective glove on his head, it can be an 10oz or 12oz whatever Ward prefers. Seems fair to me.

                                        Only problem with that is that it'll encourage Khan to start asking for a 10-12oz chin guard
