Andre Ward is retiring because HBO did not want to give him a new contract

Well fair play as you clearly like watching him,just bores the hell out of me but each to their own.
Let's just say I'm glad that he's a one off,talented absolutely but his spoiling tactics and his opinion of inside fighting was awful to watch at times and as I've said before he only did it in the big fights,against Barrera which that win keeps looking better over time he boxed beautifully cause he knew he could without having to hold n wrestle,that's the problem I personally have with him and I'd say the consensus would agree which is why there's been so many videos,threads made about him re this.

 

100% false

 

HBO is still paying him to assault our ears with his awful color commentary as Max verbally fellates him.
