Duva: Request for 'Neutral' Judges for Ward-Kovalev Denied by Ward

With this in mind, why do you feel Ward wasnt interested in the S6 unless the opening fights were at home for him? Whilst all other original contenders travelled.
Why when the comment was made about refusing neutral judges with someone alledgedly saying the feel America is disliked makes you think that it is a case of Ward not wanting there to be neutral judges?
Sure he can refuse and say no go with whats appointed but why would you not want to go with neutral judges? It makes me think there are concerns.

There are several things like this where I struggle to really understand Ward like the article why is andre ward so testy about testing

 

Yep! Fact of the matter is, Ward and his team don't want a level playing field. Sergey is fighting in the US, in front of a US crowd, will most likely have biased US judges... what next?! Maybe a ref that will overlook elbows and holding??

 

Ward is a diva. Plain and simple. He's an egotistical control freak. He's not fighting Kovalev in Oakland so this argument is irrelevant. You're criticizing Ward today and using the past in an argument for a current fight which is not even the same situation.

Ward didn't refuse neutral judges, hee refused to filter the judging pool. HUGE difference. If they get international judges then they get international judges. He's just not limiting it to international judges.

 

Ward didn't deny ANY international judges. He'd need Kovalev's approval for that.

That's why Kovalev moved here lol

 

I understand that and am not disagreeing with you or even trying to bring up things from the past, just saying I often struggle to understand Ward and would have thought neutral judges would remove any controversy especially after the last fight where I think both want to prove something

 

I would guess Kovalev moved to earn more and get known and opportunities but I imagine he possibly still feels like a foreigner in the country he now lives in, at times

 

The fights in Vegas so its pretty certain all officials will be from Vegas, Ya'll know my honest opinion of most Vegas officials, Looks to me like since Mayfeather "retired " Vegas needs new cash cows & they've choseb Canelo & Ward

 

He moved here NOT to get unfair decisions and box on an unlevel playing field lol.

 

At times, like when boxing. Which happens to be his livelihood. Lol No wonder he seemed ticked off.

 

Strawman.

 

ofc he does.

 

Ward won the first fight, why should he give up any advantages?

 

Theses Wardos have zero sense of fair play. They demand the deck be stacked in their favor and have the temerity to play dumb right in everyone's face. If Ward was permitted to bring a gun into the ring they would be like...... "duuuurrrrr WHAT?"

 

Yep! They're pathetic no doubt. I can't wait to see their boy get clipped.

 

Dude, he was properly trained the first time around too. He is just making excuses because

A) His adoring fans will believe him, no matter what

B) He could not find Ward again after the 2nd round KD

C) He could not find the extra gears required to finish the job
