    Its odd but it does seem that unless I am missing announcements that lately I dont think Wards fights have been confirmed until late on.
    Smith I think was around 2 months
    Barrera I think was a bit less
    Brand I think was also less than 2 months
    They to my knowledge all seem very short notice
    I have thought this with Wilder also but may have missed announcements

    Maybe the Kovalev fight wont be confirmed until around 6/7 weeks before the fight for some reason?

    Roc Nation are rank amateurs in this game and it shows. This trying to get the fight in Oakland BS is truly pathetic. The fight is happening in the US. What more do they want? Virgil Hunter as ref?

    I'd understand if Andre was a big draw at home but he isn't.

    Ward was probably busy sending Tom Loefler an offer sheet to fight GGG instead...in Oakland...at 175...with a 50/50 purse split....on September 10.

    Same thing happened with Barrera. Everyone on BF24 was up Wards ass, claiming that he was going to duck Barrera.

    Yeah like theres no difference between Kovalev and Barrera

    Right now Ward is probably crying on his mummys bosom, as his sister's out buying his third pair of trousers

    If he wasn't sandbagging in his last two fights he's lost a step or two or three.
    Fights off
