    Should the sanctioning organizations order a rematch of Kovalev-Ward?

    Should the sanctioning organizations (WBO, WBA, IBF) order a rematch of Ward-Kovalev, since most people thought Kovalev won?

    Looks like Ward won't honor his rematch clause, so this might be the only way to have him fight Kovalev again.

    If they order a rematch it should be because it was a close fight where the outcome could have gone either way,.

    A rematch need not be ordered because you and a few other immature, neo-conservative, alt-right Kov fans are still upset that Ward got the UD.

      They can order a rematch that is fine, but if Ward is not going to honor a contractually obligated rematch clause (which will lead to litigation), why would he care about anything a sanctioning body says?

          The thread starter said it, so I figured it was part of the premise of the thread. I doubt that is true but if that is the case the sanctioning bodies making any ruling changes nothing in making a rematch occur.

            Don't drink the kool aid, the fight is less than a month old and there's nothing credible saying Ward won't rematch Kovalez.

            In my opinion, let Ward have one optional defense (he won the fight) if he wants, then order the rematch.

              They got time to work it out I am unconcerned about it.

                That's a commonly encountered oxymoron.

                Neo-conservative refers to very ******* **********s & former ********s who invaded the GOP in the '60s through '00s (AKA "cucks").

                I think people get confused because the word "neo" reminds them of neo-****s and they think it means "extreme" rather than "new"?

                Their deal was giving the evangelists control of social issues in exchange for bringing the ******** platform of open borders and global military interventionism to a previously isolationist party.

                The alt-right movement is paleo-conservative and fiercely anti-globalism with relative indifference towards evangelist issues. They are polar opposites.

                When you call someone a neo-con in a derogatory manner, you are calling them a fence-sitter, flip-flopper, etc.

                    no it was controversial but not a robbery maybe at some point but if they did that here it would set a precedent to order a rematch everytime any title fight is close. i thought they had a rematch clause anyway
