Comments Thread For: Kovalev: Ward Will Come Back; Has Enough Money to Take a Rest

[steeve steel]

Ward isn't coming back. It's not like he left millions of dollars on the table when he retired. He doesn't strike me as the type that won't be able to stay away from the sport.

Where else will he find an excuse for all his *****ing? I admire the boxer, but his whining and the whole religious thing .. it's really annoying. The guy will have a chip on his shoulder no matter how many millions or praise. He's got severe Hopkinatis.

Sounds to me like Kov is finally getting over his two losses. Fair play to him. Maybe it's about time his fans did this also.

Don't quit in the 3rd fight Kovalev.

round 1 of the first fight was basically round 13 of the seocn fight, the boxer had the puncher figured out for the most part. that's often how those matchups go. odds will be heavily in ward's favor for sure, if he can get active and looks to be the same fighter.

i sitll think it's worth seeing, however. the second fight was strange. tony weeks really blew it and allowed the fight to basically end on low blows. problem is revenue. rocnation probably won't even stay in boxing because of how badly they lost their shirts paying andre ward.

Im a Ward fan and that was a terrible job Weeks did. And stopping the fight robbed Ward of a legit TKO or at least the chance for Kov. to continue fighting back.

He didnt quit he was asking the ref. To protect his nuts from getting punched in.

Hmm he was up walking around the ring 6 seconds after taking a seat on the ropes. Never looked to me like he was in agony from low blows, it looked to me that he got all the fight punched out of him. He was done. It's a bit of a shame we never got to see ward take him out clean, but atleast he's healthy to fight another day.

He was looking at the ref. Saying come on!!! My nutz are his new speed bag.

I think Ward has always craved a superstar dance partner and that isn't really available unless he's mismatched at heavyweight.

Unless a big star at 175 emerges very soon soon where he could make a irresistible amount of money i don't see him coming back.

Ah how unfortunate he was born with nuts on his navel.

Son of judges !!!!!! and never forget that.
he would lose the first fight and get penalized for low blows in the second - if those fights would happen outside of the states.

SOJ!!!!

Their first fight was very closely contested, but Ward recovered from a second-round knockdown, was more effective throughout the second half of their 12-rounder and won a widely debated unanimous decision in November 2016. They returned to Las Vegas for a June 17 rematch that mostly was another highly competitive clash, until Ward hurt Kovalev badly with a right hand to the Russian’s chin in the eighth round.

Do you really want kovalev to get beat up AGAIN?!?
