Comments Thread For: Hunter: Ward Mistreated By Media, HBO - Why Wouldn't He Retire?

[NEETzsche]

Pretty pathetic stuff from the Ward camp

**** it, bring on Kovalev vs. Beterbiev, it's a better fight anyway

[Shadoww702]

Retirement after grabbing titles from Kovalev who doesn't have slightest idea what's going on around him , was a game plan.
Ward was lucky to get into Supermiddle tournament against beawlers like Abraham , Kessler , Froch with very limited boxing skilled . They destroyed each other and Ward came out unharmed and victorious .

??? Kessler vs. Ward was in the very 1st group stage that fought???

Shortly after Andre Ward's close unanimous decision victory over Sergey Kovalev, Ward voiced that he might retire before granting the ******n puncher a rematch - a statement that surprised many who simply saw the statement as hard-balled negotiations.

That was hard to read, poor Andre, stop whining. Virgil Hunter should be embarrassed over that one, he sounds like a first grader that didn't get his way. Like Andre Ward is some type of victim, what a ****ing joke.

He says 14 pounds? What did he mean by that?

He said he couldn't make 168 anymore, and he has trouble making 175. How was he forced to go up in weight?

I remember HBO got Dawson to go down to 168 to fight Ward, and how badly weight-drained he was since he hadn't fought at that weight in years.

Ward made 5 mil to fight the man Kovalev whose world title were stolen. Kov received only 2 mil.

Ward got a job with HBO, even though he's boring as they come.

He was gifted a robbery win in the Olympics.

Ward had home advantage for ALL his Super Six fight, which enabled him to use illegal tactics such as head butts, arm-clamps, etc.

He's been treated like a king, despite being such a boring feather-fisted boxer. What does he want?

Ward has the biggest ego and the worst feeling of entitlement in all sports.

So Ward has problems making 168 and u said hes a LHW?? And then you talk about weight draining Dawson???

What would you call GGG wanting to fight Ward but only 164 then??? Dont worry I already know your a hypocrite. So answer that and look stupid if u want???

He was gifted a robbery in the olympics?? To who?? Holy SHT your stupid!!!

Home field advantage in the super 6?? Andre Ward never fought in Atlantic City before that?? Can't say the same for Froch who fought and WON there JUST 6 MONTHS earlier.

You bring up illegal tactics??? U POS go watch Froch vs. Dirrell. That was some REAL FKN home cooking!!!! Froch was allowed to clinch and hit Dirrell in the back of the head. Froch was holding and hitting, hitting after the bell, hitting on breaks, throwing Dirrell down, elbowing, putting Dirrell in headlocks... But guess who get the point taken away???

You don't know sht about boxing.

Virgil Hunter love Dre like a father its evident. I completely agree with Hunter : Andre Ward has been a victim of unprofessional journalism pandering to these ignorant, jealous and insecure casual fans. Sergay Kovalev has only shown unsportsmanlike conduct whilst Andre Ward has taken all the criticism despite claiming victory in a classic heroic career defining performance that merits high praise, not this.

Boxing needs Andre Ward.

“Here’s an enthusiastic kid, he used to sing the HBO tunes,” Hunter said. Instead Ward was forced out of his weight class, “So the other guy [Kovalev] can make his name off of your Olympic gold medalist."


“He has options after boxing. He just got over in England on the broadcast team. Love him, treat him well. Here with broadcasting he’s told that ‘you’re an active fighter. You can’t broadcast.’ But I see B-Hop. I see Roy. So what does that say?”

Virgil Hunter slayed these haters!

You need to change your name to truth spitta cause these posts are as real as it gets.

Ward was ripe for the picking. Inactive in a new weight class. HBO fed him the Brand tuneup to fatten the pig in preparation to be slaughtered. But Ward was having none of that. Dude got up off the canvas, smiled, shook his head and dug down deep to pull off the victory.

But I do think Hunter is exaggerating the media reaction. Although many had Kov winning it was only by a round. Every relevant boxing source has Ward ranked above Kovalev in the divisional and pound for pound rankings. When a robbery happens, they don't acknowledge it like in the case of Whitaker/Chavez when Pernell was elevated after the bum decision. This means that despite having a different scorecard, they understand that if they score 1 round differently, Ward takes the W.

True boxing fans understand the scoring system and can accept that a difference of opinion on a close round of two can change the outcome of a fight. Fan boys and people with agendas try to create an alternate reality to calm their emotions after the fight didn't go the way they had hoped.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Hahahaha scared of a white boy lmfao

They want to see Andre like Bernard or better yet Roy Jones Jr. : an Olympic medalist whos now broke, punch-drunk with dual citizenship claiming hes treated better in a foreign land despite taking risk throughout his whole career bringing honor and glory to America but maybe Ward becomes a Brit considering his own countrymen have no love for S.O.G!

Meanwhile like Angel Garcia says they treat these euros and foreigners special! **** that! we in America! **** wrong with these mofos?!!! why does Andre have to move up in weight get off the floor to win another world title in his third division and then get disrespected like this but Sergay Kovalev hasn't moved up a pound in weight and been crying like a b*tch!!! I cant stand this **** - I'm out of this ****'n thread!!!
