I still think Ward fights Kovalev at the end of 2016.

Honestly, 0%. Given how much of a **** show his management has been, it would be nothing short of a miracle for him to actually schedule and follow through with three bouts in the 2016 calendar year.

If the first tune up was actually happening this month, I would give a much higher %. Now I think even early 2017 is wishful thinking. So much can happen between now and then. Ward is probably hoping Kovalev takes at least one real tough fight in 2016 while he's knocking random SMWs around the ring at LHW for $2 million a pop.

 

I get what you're saying, but holy ****, 0% ?!? That is an absolute, no f'n way, cannot happen.

At the moment I feel like giving it a solid 12% chance of happening due to all the reasons you stated, but more chance just because Andre might, MIGHT feel the pressure from fans and media and just skip the 2nd tune up.

Highly unlikely though imo

 

I just can not see Ward actually scheduling and fighting three fights in 2016. Especially if one of the fights is Kovalev.

 

I don't think Ward fights 3 fights next year, but if given the chance, he will fight Kov. I don't doubt that at all. That's what top fighters do. Look for challenges win or lose. No armchair can ever doubt that and if you do, it's because you don't understand fighters. You can post why YOU think he wouldn't take the Kov fight, but that's about it lol.

 

If given the chance?? What does that mean? Kovalev is the one who needs the tune ups?

 

Blizz, so you think he skips the second tune up to fight Kov next fall?

 

Kov and Ward will fight period.

 

Yep, he started to soon. 2 weeks before the fight. HAHAHAAHAH

Virgil should check his head

 

Virgil is full of **** ''the kid is so driven....''' yeah so why has it taken him 4 years to get his blasphemous ass scheduled to fight?

Virgil, you lying ghetto slime, we the boxing world are not going to fall for your lies.

Thurman and Radio Rahim are coming for your ass b!tch!!

 

I respect Ward or what he was in the ring a lot. But people believing he will fight 3 times in 2016 are flat out delusional.

 

To many people around Andre Ward making/not making decisions for him. He should fire James Prince ASAP and manage his own career instead of having to pay 15%+ of his purse to that old ghetto fool. Virgil and Roc Nation are needed so you cant fire them. But get that SOB James Prince out of your camp and your business. That man is a slime ball and no righteous Christian would associate with a filthy man like him!
