    You'll never hear a guy like Steve Kim report on that.

    It's great when Christians actually walk the walk and not just talk the talk.

    Not everyone cheats like Kid Galabum and his fellow gym mate Kell Brook.

    Very classy, hopefully Mr. Ward gets a bigger payday himself next time around.

    Great thing to do for Ward. Would he return it if it was let's say 1 million.

    Makes a nice change to see him do something Christian. The last time one of his opponents came in over weight (Edwin Rodriguez) team Ward threatened to pull out of the fight altogether if the WBA didn't enforce their rule where 45% of a fighter's purse is forfeited if they refuse to try and make weight after the two hour extension period. I know Rodriguez ending up $200,000 out of pocket after that but team Ward were pushing for a lot more. Granted it's hardly Ward's fault Rodriguez couldn't make weight, although he knew full well he was having murders trying to get down because one of his spies had informed him that Rodriguez was ''walking around in rubber all the time'', but Rodriguez has two sick young children to care for (which Ward knew) and it wasn't exactly the most Christian thing to do to try and push for him to lose almost half his purse knowing that.

    Kudos to him for this gesture though.
