Comments Thread For: Has Heated Ward-Kovalev Rivalry Made Rematch More Interesting?

This fight should do better on PPV but a lot of fans will look for reasons not to buy the fight instead of enjoying a real fight between two top 5 p4p fighters. I guess people would rather see another Canelo/Chavez Jr match up so they can claim their favorite fighter is the best! I got Ward winning the rematch convincingly but I could be wrong! Can't wait!!

For all you complainers out there, GTFOH! Go watch another Canelo/Chavez Jr, Manny/Horn, or Floyd/Berto type of fight & let the real fans enjoy this rematch between two EVEN top p4p fighters in their prime.

yes of course we all waynt to see kkkovolov get punished for his statments,,

Well since holding people back on the basis of race was outlawed by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, even in "kkkovolov " ends coWARD's career, he could always sue on the basis of racial discrimination right?

The hardcores don't need to be sold on this fight. For the casuals, maybe. It'll definitely be a tough fight for both boxers.

Spoken like a true champ!

... "heated rivalry"?

... No way!... Fodder for the masses...

[FinitoxDinamita]

Naw it doesnt make it any more interesting. Ward is still going to clinch like a little god fearing punk..

I hope Sergei hurts him badly

Most of it is just press and hype as soon as round 1 begins it's all forgotten...

The verbal back and forth didn't really do much for me. I don't really believe professional fighters are afraid of each other. I think many are fearful of failing but that's another subject.

I enjoyed the first fight and have been anxiously waiting the rematch since it was signed. What has peaked my interest is the report that Ward couldn't put in proper road work due to an injury and Kov overtrained.

If that's true of both camps the rematch will surely be more entertaining.

We are hardcore boxing fans on here who are going to find a way to watch it no matter what.

But in general, the promotion for this fight could not be worse. Roc Nation as a boxing promoter is even worse than 50 Cent.

all the crying from kova and his camp didn't do nothing for me. i watch Ward fights regardless of the opponent
