Comments Thread For: Arum: Sergey Kovalev Request For Neutral Judges is Ridiculous!

[A.K]

so..... Golovkin can beat "anyone from 154-168"..... and he was sniffing around in Ward's division, mentioning Chavez and Froch..... and yet, Ward is too big for him, right?

Golovkin talked rubbish for FOUR YEARS, and then he shat the bed when Ward called him out TWICE..... but good on you for pretending like that never happened LMAO

Except 168 is not wards division he hasn't fought there in 4 years..

[aboutfkntime]

if ward wanted to fight ggg he would have offered him a fight right away, not a i'll fight you after 2 tune ups type deal when ggg was waiting for the wbc to mandate the fight between him and the wbc champ. oh you've been wbc mandatory for a year and the wbc said they would mandate the fight next...wait another year for me to do my tune ups. oh and for 50-50 what a great offer lmao. when they were both available we know who rejected the fight. its easy to make crap offers when yo know they cant be accepted. publicity stunt and nothing more. how come you never admonish ward for refusing to offer ggg a one off fight? makes sense right? a lot easier right? ggg has to do everything ward wanted, wait for his tune ups, and postpone a fight with the wbc champ or its ducking? sorry not logical.

that is rubbish.....

Ward asked for 1 tuneup, then he approached Team Bullshht in July 2015 immediately following his bout with Smith wanting to fight Golovkin immediately

We are targeting Gennady Golovkin right now, whether that’s next or the one after.....

only to be told..... 164, or no fight

then, a few months later in September..... they refused Ward in 36 minutes flat, with NO offer of negotiation

Boxing News 2015: Gennady Golovkin Afraid of Andre Ward?.....

http://www.latinpost.com/articles/91773/20151103/boxing-news-2015-gennady-golovkin-afraid-andre-ward.htm

Andre Ward wants to fight him, but Golovkin and his promoter Tom Loeffler aren’t ready to take that fight yet, commented Max Kellerman.....
http://www.************.com/2015/10/...n-is-unproven/

“Ward wants to fight Golovkin and he wants to fight him next. But it won’t happen at 164-pounds. By accepting 168 with Carl Froch and Chavez Jr, but then demanding 164 with Ward – it’s their way of saying ‘we don’t want to fight Andre Ward.”

There’s really no other explanation other than a version of that one. Ward has said repeatedly he couldn’t get below 168 if he tried, and his last fight was at 172. With Golovkin’s side saying they’ll only take the fight at 164, they’re either trying to make it look like they want the fight at all, knowing it won’t happen at that number; or they’re saying they’re only willing to fight Ward if he cripples himself.

just my reminder to all the boxing people out there that when it comes to advantage-hunting and trying to weaken opponents and trying to force the blame for a fight not happening, some fighters play a bit dirtier than others, but almost everyone is playing the same game, no matter how much their reputation is as a fearless warrior.

Golovkin and his team are preventing this fight from happening. Golovkin offered to fight the now retired Carl Froch at the super-middleweight limit of 168 lbs., as well as former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., but wants a catch-weight for Andre Ward?

The 2004 Olympic gold medalist has informed his promoter at Roc Nation Sports that he wants to fight Golovkin next, but he’s not going to fight him at 164 pounds.

“Ward wants to fight Golovkin, and he wants to fight next, but it won’t happen at 164-pounds. By accepting 168 with Carl Froch and Chavez Jr., but then demanding 164 with Ward – it’s their way of saying, ‘we don’t want to fight Andre Ward,” the source revealed to Boxing Scene.

you guys who try to defend that duck are a special breed

[aboutfkntime]

Except 168 is not wards division he hasn't fought there in 4 years..

when Ward was the super-middleweight champion, that most definitely was his division

FACT: Ward called out Golovkin at 168

seriously, how fkn WEAK is that argument ?

[aboutfkntime]

you " fans " who deny that Golovkin ducked Ward

are just childish fanboys

[Mr. Luthor]

and the 10th round that kov dominated? how did he do so if he was so exhausted as ward fans claim? maybe kov was only tired from roudns 7-9 and then roudn 11? makes sense

Well Ward landed more total punches than Kovalev in rounds 5, 7, 8, 9 and 11 so that is probably why some people saw Kovalev fading some in the second half of the fight.

Rounds 3, 6 and 12 were separated by 1 punch landed and this is why the fight was so close.
