Comments Thread For: Duva: Request for 'Neutral' Judges for Ward-Kovalev Denied by Ward

[BattlingNelson]

Ward:

What do you think Duva/Kovalev should have done? Waste another 6 months + of Kovalevs career, try to sue Ward/Roc Nation which will probably lead nowhere, at least in the near future? You put up some good posts but you are pretty naive sometimes.

Huh? I think Duva should have all this written in the original contract with the rematch clause. It's not news that Ward always wants his fights in the us and with us judges. Those issues should have been taken care of from the getgo. Complaining now is just silly and displays the bad promotor work she has done.

Ward is a joke. He's a protected fighter who is allowed to hold and foul at will. I've said it numerous times Kovalev needs a knockout to win this. Kovalev was robbed in the first fight and will be again if it goes to a decision. The big money in boxing want Ward to maintain the title. Now Ward's handlers are objecting to a call for neutral judges, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out why. Best thing that could happen for real boxing fans is a first round knockout of Ward

I could've sworn fights in Nevada have to use Nevada officials

I dunno where this idea originates but British judges have worked there.

Ward is an honest, hard working Christian. He would never do such a thing.

I don't think Ward is allowed to pick the judges, the commission does.

Kovalev is the peoples champ. Unfortunately for Ward, robberies to hold up to true vicories..... its why Kovalev the foreigner has so many fans. And Ward, in his own city has 50 people show up for an autograph session

I guess you missed the meet and greet in the UK last month where he was swarmed by fans.

I got it mixed up the NSAC selects the officials not the promoters unlike other US States

Hopefully Kovalov remembers the fight can go 12 rounds. He so used to finishing guys he forgot about that.

EVERYONE agrees Kovalov won the 1st half and Ward the 2nd. If the fight was a 6 rounder Kovalov would of won by UD. It's not the judges fault Kovalov couldn't maintain that level another 6 rounds.

They LOVE him over there! He did a lot of autographs and photos for the fans.
