    Actually, you are so overly biased for your fighters, it's your life... your fighters.

    How many clinches in the latter rounds?
    You are absolutely right. Its entirely up to Andre when he decides to fight again. But this type of behavior and style of fighting will not gain him any fans. I hope he enjoyed the 5 million
    i was rooting for Porter over Thurman, gave Thurman the nod. Rooting for Guerrero over Garcia. Gave him the nod. I rooted for Manny over Floyd, scored it 8-4 Floyd. GTFO

    How is taking a vacation and spending time with your family going against the fighter's code? We still have no idea what he's going to do LMFAO, stop your unreasonable whining. What, you've never taken a vacation before?

    And secondly, I've seen you being extremely extremely biased towards "certain" fighters if you know what I mean.

    What's more important to you? Your fighters or your family. Answer that

    Not to be trite but it sounds like sour grapes. Kovalev knew what type of fight to expect with Ward. He even threatened to break Ward's arms. Salido fought a dirty fight against Lomachenko. Funny that Kovalev has not complained about how Ward fought him but that's all that his fans do. The fight could have gone either way. Ward got the decision. I hope there is a rematch but if not, it does not change the decision in the first fight.

    Actually, that's incorrect. So all boxers who benefited from a close decision and never rematched the loser of said bout (Despite whatever reason) is a hoe? Ward won a close battle, close but clear. He can do as he pleases.

    Cmon man.

    I don't see many talking about it, it's a certain group of Kova supporters who bring it up. Most people know Ward is a 2 division lineal champion of the world.

    Just like how Lennox beat Vitali and only a small portion of the boxing world brings up how Vitali was robbed and how Vitali truly won!! LOL

    1. There's a rematch clause here, which is the biggest reason Ward needs to accept the rematch. He took the fight knowing that if he won Kovalev had a rematch clause.

    2. It wasn't a "close but clear" win for Ward. Close yes, but not clear. The majority of the boxing world had Kovalev winning, so it was controversial not clear.

    Its not sour grapes to provide evidence in support of your argument. My bio says im an attorney and I am one. Thats what i do. I present facts and make arguments based on these facts. The facts remain clear that Ward clinched excessively. The facts also remain clear that Ward came in with his head time and time again. He did the same to Kessler and sliced up his face. Kov was skilled enough to avoid those headbutts. Ward effectively cheated by breaking the rules of boxing over and over again. Unfortunately the referee failed to do his job and failed to deduct points off Ward for his excessive cheating. EVEN IF KOVALEV WON the fight I'd still bash Ward for the constant violation of the rules.

    Just look at Broner vs Porter. Broner clinched FAR LESS than Ward, yet Broner lost a point.

    I hate clinching because it goes against the rules. We dont have a sport when the rules aren't fairly enforced.

    Considering how close and controversial the decision was, he needs to rematch him.

    funny how you talk about certain groups, the vast majority of people who watched the fight had kova winning, its only the minority of ward diehards that had him winning...

    My point is, if he returns, he should fight him as it is legally binding to do so.

    But he could retire today and he would easily be a HOF, the man is on VACATION and spending time with his wonderful family.

    He should NOT be rushed back when he's clearly on vacation. THAT'S MY POINT!!!!

    Kovalev fans are always finding fault in other people. Yeah it's Ward's fault that Kovalev is without a fight atm :(, give me a break!!
