    I never watch the sky version of the telecast eventhough I read that they all gave it to ward. My guess is that fighter and commentator do have their preference in terms of style of fighting. But another theory I am more agree with is that if the panel has a more vocal voice in this case mallinagi, supporting one type, the rest tend to follow. Needless to say their counterpart in HBO is not better in lampley and lederman.

    Able Sanchez picked Kovalev to destroy Ward, he too had Ward winning.

    Ward hate thread backfires. Ward isn't even a bad guy. I tell you who's more of a scumbag. Tyson Fury. I don't see hate threads on him.

    Any who 25 percent had ward winning, it is still a reasonable big percentage. Hating on the message boards is harmless. We are all fanatics that have one big thing in common, we love boxing. It gets boring without the name calling.

    It's a waste of my time lol. But if I did I would make a poll about who's a better overall human being. Ward or a drug addicted, suicidal closet homosexual Tyson Fury. It would expose so many double standards that so many posters on this forum have. Ward is a good guy. Great champ. Paid his dues. Doesn't owe body nothing and will do the rematch. Just wants more money like everybody else. He's not over here turning down 10 million paydays lmao.

    I guess I understand where you're coming from but you've made some silly assumptions and comments; do you really think that's all there was with the Goosen situation? Was Brand forced to fight for 30k? That "time waster" Andre ward stayed so fit, conditioned and came back after all these years and gave red hot Kovalev his toughest pro fight doesn't that alone prove his discipline, hard work and COURAGE?

    No. He's the biggest piece of **** on earth. How dare he believe he won that after getting up from that KD and fighting his heart out. The phucken nerve. I've never seen a worse arrogant scumbag in my life.

    Was Brand forced, like with a gun to his head no. But even so, it was still immoral of Ward to be so stingy. Robber barons don't have to force people to work for them at slave wages either. If people are desperate enough they will work for crumbs. But that's still using people. And we all know that's not fair dealing. Is anyone forcing a battered wife to stay with her husband? No. But just because they can leave any time doesn't absolve the abuser from all responsibility for their own actions. You are shifting the blame from the abuser onto the abused by claiming that they agreed to let themselves be abused. "Shame on you for letting me take advantage of you." It's not what good people do.

    Then you take that Goosen stuff, where Ward didn't feel like he was being paid his fair share. Ward fought that deal tooth and nail. Nobody "forced" him to sign it, like you said. But then he digs in his feet because he feels he's being taken advantage of. A guy with that much regard for fair play when it comes to himself and his money should have just as much respect for how he treats other people in his negotiations. A guy who can't stand to be taken advantage of but who takes advantage of others is a hypocrite. That makes the Brand thing even worse.

    As for Ward's discipline, hard work, and courage, I credit him for that. He's not incorrigible, irredeemable, and completely deplorable. But he's still wanting in other essential qualities that make up a true champion's character. He's incomplete.

    Those polls are just total fake media controlled by and doing everything they can to make sure Hillary ends up winning,I live in the UK so it's hard to know what it was really like on the street,despite Hillary spending over a billion on her campaign I heard that some of her turn outs were poor and despite Trump having no support save Fox News it seems Trump whilst not a perfect candidate was the better option than the crime boss Hillary?
