repeating something 1,000,0000x doesnt make it more valid
take heed of your own words bro.....

Originally posted by Rip Chudd View PostI wouldn't put past Ward if he's saying he'll retire. We're talking about a guy that was satisfied with his career and said he didn't need to box again after he won the Super 6. Duva doesn't call the shots, but signing a contract with a rematch clause in it does. You either fight the rematch, or give up your belts.
The guy fought 3 times last year and said he'd like to remain active like that. No talk at all about anything related to retiring before the Kovalev fight(at least not anything I'd seen). Now because some people don't want to give him credit for the win he's whining about retirement and not being appreciated? C'mon Andre, for someone who says their faith is in God he sure does let what a lot of people say get to him. Perhaps his mental game isn't as strong as he let on
anyway....the fight will happen just like idiot posters pre-fight 1 were saying "andrea coward will fake an injury, he need 3 more tune ups doe, he will run, he will hug the whole time, fight wont happen"
it did go on and ward won.....its a lot of butthurt from the same posters in this thread
is this the first time you guys ever heard a fighter consider retirement? come on guys.....the timing is off, and he is write, he doesnt have to fight....he is 20+ years in.....who wouldnt be contemplating the conclusion
i just dont see 2017 ending without this fight happening...but their are a fairshare of those who hopes he retires...which is weird considering how adamant they are about fight 1 being a robbery lol....their is a big difference. they just want something to criticize the guy about...ray charles can see through them

kov landed more in the 9th and landed 4 out of 5 of the best punches in the round. round 10 was a demolition. round 11 a swing roudn. round 12 he landed more and had ward hurt although ward landed some good shots himself. still thats a kov round. where is the fading???

Building the case for backing out. Man, I really thought Ward would give him the rematch for sure. This is pretty disheartening.

kov has been on hbo building his name, brand and hype while ward was on the shelf
ward wasnt gonna get a deal if he fought at 168 so they gave him tune ups before fighting kov @ 175
HBO and casual fans love punchers, especially foreign ones.....Ward was the american, gold medallist with enough name recognition and clout to get Kov to the next level bro
dude was inactive and moving up to boot..HBO would have benefited more from kovalev win
come on....not that difficult to see as it played out
