Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: I Can't Say I Was Surprised Kovalev Tested Positive For A PED

[Corelone]

You ask "who cares"?

And there lies the problem.

This "sport" largely consists of hitting another person in the head as hard and often as possible. Substances that unnaturally enhance that ability, whether it be faster, harder, or more often, are rightfully banned.

Athletes that cheat to gain an unfair advantage should place themselves outside of the rules and, in my opinion, should be liable for criminal prosecution.
.
As has been said many times before, "this isn't running or riding a bike . . "

This is why zeros mean so much. Getting beat by a pro is a serious thing. They are trained to do damage and do as much as they can. Commissions that create excuses and disappear B samples are no better.

Andre Ward lost the first Kovalev fight funny how nobody mentions how Ward magically developed a power right hand to hurt Kovalev in their rematch after he himself jumped up from 168 to 175 and never had shown that type of stopping power before but let me guess because he's partially black he gets your full support.

Ward sat down on the shot, which was perfectly timed and landed cleanly. Plus, Kov was tiring and vulnerable. Light heavies aren't little guys, so those clean shots will hurt. Nothing magical about it.

I believe Ward based his assumptions on the difference size of Kovalevs testicles between the first and second fights. I think he said something like Kovalev had huge stones in the first fight...but when he was squeezing them in the second...they squashed like g****s.

So Canelo beat a dirty Kovalev ?

I’d you’re going to try to goad me
Racially then insult ***s, Irish, welsh, Scottish, or British. I have no African blood whatsoever. I just like pointing out how so many of you obsess with all things coloured....case in point how what you just did. White supremacists used to concentrate on us ***s now you all obsess with the coloureds. Keep marking fools of yourselves, I don’t care

I stand corrected then but considering nothing you listed constitutes as a race we don't have a starting point. You most likely have African blood as well almost everyone does I'm 2% myself people forget Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt are African countries as well. There is also a large population of Afro-Mexicans in the coastal states.

I'm not obsessed with color it just seems on this forum there are plenty of African-American and White Canelo haters including yourself. I'm a fan of plenty of fighters who aren't Hispanic one of my favorite fighter is James Toney for ****s sake but it makes sense why you hate Canelo too because he beat up a few of your countrymen already it's all good.

I wish Ward would've sat on his punches his entire career he probably would've hurt people more than what he did with his headbutts and forearms.

The irony is that I'm sure nobody would be surprised if it was revealed that ward was on roids.

How did I accurately anticipate the convoluted narrative was coming ?
Racist boxing fans are the absolute worst.

Rule # 1
If u wear a KKK hood and burn crosses onto lawns at night and don't want anyone to know who u are, please refrain from accusing a Black HOF fighter who retired undefeated with a sterling clean reputation, of suspected PED use. Thx !

Chad Dawson ring a bell ?
Let's not forget that Kov was gutted like a pig to the body first and was gasping for air before the big right hand landed, which at that point, didn't take much.

Kovalev was always tested, and he insisted for testing for this fight as well.

Ward could just keep his mouth shut. He made a career on fighting dirty, and for the Kovalev rematch he was very likely doping himself.

Andre also can't say he knew it all along.
