"My dad was on the boxing team in high school and he was just telling me about his rivals and how he trained, and as a kid I looked up to him. He was my mom and my dad. He raised me as a single parent, so after one conversation, I was like, "Dad, I want to do that, too.” He said, okay, but if we do it, we gotta stick to it."

Originally posted by boliodogs View PostWard is a good man. But you act like the fight between Kovalev and Ward has already happened and Ward gave him a northern California bestdown whatever that is. I understand as a Ward fan you support him and praise him. Ward is a hell of a fighter and a good man outside the ring as well. I am a Kovalev fan with nothing against Ward. You may be the one in for a rude awakening if Kovalev knocks Ward out the way I think he will. Kovalev was ready to fight Ward a long time ago. Ward is the one wanting practice fights before a Kovalev fight. That's fine, but I am confident Kovalev will beat him when they fight. Lately Russia has been putting out a lot more good fighters than northern California. Why would a Kovalev fan also be a Trump supporter?

Originally posted by Boxfan83 View PostIm a Ward supporter/fan so its obvious I have respect for him but after spending the last week in Oakland on business, my respect is much greater. Oakland has to be the worst city i have ever been to as far as crime, poverty, & drugs. On my first day in Oakland I went on a 6mile run around downtown to 38th street & i cut through MLK for a shortcut, during that time i almost stepped on a hypodermic needle, i was offered Narcos, a crackhead wanted to try to ko me because he thought i was a boxer, hit on by what appeared to be a ts **********, & i was literally chased by a CRAZY @$$ rabid squirrel. So with that said...
Theres always talk on NSB about guys like Broner saying "u can take the guy out the hood but u cant take the hood out the guy." Now idk what kinda social class Ward grew up in but if a man can come out of Oakland (where its obvious the Local govt gives 2 *****$ about **********) with the success hes had & stay focused on his God, hes even more mentally strong than I or others give him credit for. Of course "Trump supporters" aka Kovalev fans wont agree but theyre in for a rude awakening when Ward gives him a northern Cali bestdown...
