Ward v Bellew: Ward agrees to fight

[TheBigLug]

Was he really retired though, aint even been a year since he last fought. If this is true something may come to light, sitting out his contract sort of thing, maybe Hearns big new signing

His retirement was always dubious anyway. Even about a week later in interviews he was saying "you never know" about coming back but almost in a manner that he would.

I'm sure for the right money he will and Bellew might bring that. What other options were there? the likes of Bivol at LHW or guys from the CW division would make for great fights, but potentially tough fights for little reward really, they're all basically unknown outside of the hardcore fans.

There was very little available to him for realistic fights with guys similar size except high risk/low reward fights until this Bellew fight may have presented itself.

Americans last hope falls in front of the uk

Stay retired ward, you will humiliate your country by being battered and will be forced to quit against the bomber

You all are better talking not walking

Ward will do Bellew like Spence did Brook.

I was saying bellew had a ward fight lined up for fall no one beleived me. Have some humble pie mofos. And what is the point of this fight really? Going from the level of kovalev to fight bellew. Its an obvious win doe for ward I expect him to look sensational. But I'd like to see him push himself once more against usyk who I predict winning the WBSS and might be up for a ward fight. Might be very feel for usyk.

Even if ward is sharp

He gets knocked out in the uk, a lot of soft foreign fighters from America for example needs a home town reffing and everything In their favour and Become average when taken outside of their comfort zone

That’s why wilder is refusing to leave his home despite being offered huge money

Ward is being offered a huge Ppv, he loses vs bellew

You the same dude that twice picked kovalev over S.O.G. The same dude that picked brook over Errol.

Agreed he may have hardly any ring rust.

lets try to not make bellew out to be something hes not, hes barely past a non entity in any weight division hes fought in, he just has a mouth, like haye

If Andre Ward has a part in Creed 2, after having a good part in Creed, it seems pretty clear that they have sizable plans for a likely Creed 3 movie (unless all of the Drago talk was a smokescreen for the Creed vs Wheeler showdown that was teased in the first movie).

I don't think Andre is hurting for money in either situation.

I don’t think he is “Hurting for money” am pretty sure he and his next generation are pretty secured, that doesn’t stop him from making a million dollar if the Bellew fight present itself instead of making 100k filming.

hope this is true

good fight

boxing needs ward back

[LacedUp]

Bellew is way way way bigger than Ward, is not injury prone and has tremendous momentum.

Ward is definitely more talented, but could he beat a big top cruiserweight like Bellew?

I'd really like to see this fight

[LacedUp]

You the same dude that twice picked kovalev over S.O.G. The same dude that picked brook over Errol.

Even the biggest Ward fan must realize this is a risky fight.

Ward may go into the fight as a favourite, but Bellew is a clever fighter and that left hook is right now one of the best in boxing, if not the best.
