Comments Thread For: Sergey Kovalev vs. Juergen Braehmer is Ordered By The WBA

[Redd Foxx]

Hey I am as big a Sanford and Son fan that you will find so I can assure you the material you can provide for me Redd would be appreciated, but c'mon for now he "moved up" to sign a fight with the feared Alexander Brand, who is seven years older, and as far as resume , if you can recognize one fighter he ever beat kudos to you. So yeah hiding means fights with lower tier fighters never leaving your home, if he was the huge star he COULD have become after Super6 this guy would have fought at MSG, Las Vegas, Cowboys Stadium, at least once in each but in reality he has never fought at any of these locations. He has been HIDING in Oakland. Lets see the Kovalev fight even take place first and we can discuss further but with all due respect, Oakland? Oakland?

Ward already said he wants Kovalev in Vegas, not Oakland. Even Duva says Andre wants this fight so it's unusual how many seem to have their fingers crossed that this doesn't happen. Doubting after everything that's happened so far is weird enough, but why are people so hopeful that this fight doesn't go though?
It's kinda telling.

Anyhow, all this makes the build up more exciting. Can't wait!!

The people hoping it doesn't happen or trying to lay blame on Ward from everything from the ref to the venue aren't really fans of the sport, it's as simple as that. Ots transparent and sad. Win or lose, I want this fight! I prefer watching Kov, but I think Ward is better. To some that makes me a hater. To me, I think it makes me honest.

[Larry the boss]

As soon as I saw this I knew there would be people making a claim along the a line and I knew who would be the first to post it. I'm surprised they (he) didn't try to blame Ward with an outrageous claim he paid the WBA to push Kovs mandatory. Same old carp from the same old carp posters. If Kov chooses this over Ward though it's clear he is the one ducking. There is more money and MUCH more prestige in the Ward fight.

Preach..................

[Larry the boss]

Hey Larry, Ward disappears on his own pretty good.

He is back man, and he is ready to prove his worth.

It could be disasterful for Braehm if Kov drops the belt. All the guys around like Beterbiev, Gvozdyk and others would start to chase him. And he would take a fight or get the reputation of coward. Demolishing of punching bags in the Germany backyard is not going to happen..

When is the WBA ordering GGG vs. Jacobs?

[MDPopescu]

Just for the record: WBA had Andre Ward as Super World Super Middleweight champion since Nov 21 2009 until 2016... and Ward didn't even fight at 168 since Nov 16 2013...

[Metho_4u]

It's not quite the same situation. Golovkin can get the best to fight him. If he could and had to drop a belt to do it, who cares. Kov has this fight lined up. I think he'll still take the Ward fight. But if he doesn't it's on him. He has the prices to the puzzle where ads GGG does not. Jmo.

Seems to me there's a few guys 8 lbs north that will fight him, oh, that guy Lara? He said he'll fight him.

Same rerun excuses from the GayLoveKin fans.

Don't even know why I reply to you, but which fighters at 168 are ready to fight GGG within 8 weeks?

Smells like corruption to me, looks like those Germans brought few briefcases full of cash to WBA office
The same stuff with Lebedev/Gassiev mandatory and Beibut Shumenov, the guy with extremely wealthy parents and who has been gifted title shots for fighting bums at CW.
Some time ago, people were predicting that they're gonna take that belt from Lebedev and give it to Shumenov and that's what's happening now

WBA is that corrupt
