If Ward retires

[therealpugilist]

you really have to let it go man, if he retires then Kovalev can get the belts back and the world moves on..Fight was close and not a robbery at all,just because the guy you wanted to win loses a close fight does not make it a robbery..But Ward should honor the damn rematch

^^^^this...great post

Has to go down as one of the biggest ducks of all time?

"I've accomplished everything" Most of the boxing world thought you lost the fight of your life. Avenge it and be a champion.

Dan Raphael in his chat last week said about 75% of boxing analysts had it 115-112 for kovalev. The same score I had.

If not a robbery, it's a stain on Wards legacy.

75% of those "analysts" out of who? And most of those analysts were no doubt watching the HBO broadcast, the same one that was giving credit to Kovalev for missing, of course they're going to think he won. Multiple foreign broadcasts had Ward winning, just stop with this lie already.

What happens when Ward wins again?

IF he wins again. Not WHEN.
In this case first robbery will be less talked about, much like Mayweather-Castillo I. Although I personally think that Mayweather won the fisrt fight narrowly.

[HeroBando]

not verbatim but he said hed need a couple of fights after, you know, him being retired and all. 3g looking for retired guys when ward was right there waiting.

Froch wasn't retired couple of years ago when they were after him. But whatever lies make you sleep better at night

Ward will win again. Kovalev isn't smart enough to beat Ward. He thinks he won the fight which means he doesn't think he needs to change anything about his style. He ran out of gas and he didnt do enough in the rounds.

Instead of whining, he should say i'll work hard and i won't let that happen again

YES, rematch needs to happen

[Kazakh Boxing]

Rematches are such BS. If you lose, you ****ing lose. Who wants to fight somebody they already beat? How do you get motivated?

then dont fucking sign the contracts with rematch clauses in it,

man up if u do sign.

I didnt sign it, go yell at Ward about it

I mean, right? It would even still be a topic if ward won by a wider margin as it is legally obligated to honor rematch.

No it doesn't. Ward fought Kov when people claimed he wouldn't. He got the decision even though IMO he lost 114-113. If he retires, so be it.

I agree he should honor the rematch clause. I would like to see a rematch. That said if he retires for good, I will not get mad at him.
