Comments Thread For: Kovalev on Rematch Status: Nothing But Silence From Andre Ward!

[kennethjohn]

I know american fans like to believe that kovalev won the second half of the fight too because harold letterman said so.

When Frampton beat Santa Cruz and took the title by a close decision, he acknowledged that he owed the champ a rematch.
That's what a true champ does, he doesn't stall and keep the other fighter waiting on him.

Business

Kovalev and his promoter agreed to the judges. You don't get to select the judges and then complain about their scoring when the scoring doesn't favor you.

This fight was like watching the patriots put up 37 on pitt and then being told Pitt wikl be playing in the super bowl. Boxing fans all watched Kov dominate ward who couldnt generate ANY offense and land even a single right hand on Kov out of fear getting nailed. Only way for boxing to continue on is allowing some black usa fightets success knowing the floyd sheep fans have to back undefeated black fighters. They know its all about getting their money. The easy fools money.

They didn't agreed to get robbed, that's for sure.

I'm still trying to figure out how Ward won 7 rounds.

If you think that a robbery occurred in what was a close fight, you will never see how the judges that Team Kovalev reviewed and agreed to have judge the fight gave Ward 7 rounds.

Ward, keep your word. You signed a contract. Do the rematch.

In your mind only

People don't belong to you, and the actions of others who share your skin tone have nothing to do with you. As a so called black INDIVIDUAL, the actions of Andre Ward (who is half white, btw) have no impact on my reputation.

The continous diva actions of these lesser black fighters being hyped up from the usa shows exactly how weakened your society became. The Entitlement class of your generation made you weak, at least the generations after X. Ward & Wilder are perfect examples of this entitlement weakened class. Wilder was hand picked to play the role of great black hope at HW, the new Duane Bobick or Primo Carnera.

Different culture diff upbringing

When Frampton beat Santa Cruz and took the title by a close decision, he acknowledged that he owed the champ a rematch.
That's what a true champ does, he doesn't stall and keep the other fighter waiting on him.

Those two fighters had integrity, their cultures have integrity. Ward has a street walking mom who taught him about never having to be accountable and by playing the race card, he can succeeed with minimal effort as long as he can gain sympathy from wreaker people. Look.at all the weak people here like Kigali and his friends to see exactly that playing out.

I'd hate to see Kovalev's career on hold because of this. If nothing happens by march he should fight someone else. One thing I like about him is that he was one of the few active champions.

I've never seen anything like this, where even a contractual obligation doesn't stop a guy from ducking. Unbelievable.
