From Twitter Sources. Thoughts? I wonder if Ward has a passport to travel to Kazakhstan. Could see Ward and GGG face off in the ring after the bout to set it up for this year.
GGG-Saunders isn't happening. I think Loeffler will wait to see how Canelo-Chavez plays out and make a Sept fight
Andre would only be able to attend the fight if they are fighting in Okland he hasn't a passport. It was difficult enough to get him to vegas for Kovalev.
I think Ward would cancel, if he knew kovalev was going to be in the same building, doesn't have the guts to show his face to the krusher outside of the ring. He were to turn up he'd have 10 big goons behind him.
SOB signed a contract with a rematch clause in it, although SOB wants the fight in his hometown, with his personal judges, all three, his referee, boxing commission, commentators, etc., SOB is still angry at Harold Lederman because Lederman had the fight 116 - 111 Kovalev...........................Mayweather also had Kovalev winning, along with the vast majority of boxing fans and boxing writers...............SOB has to fight Kovalev or get stripped, I think SOB will get stripped.
Ward shouldn't concentrate on the 15 pounds lighter golovkin. Then again GGG took on 13 pound lighter Brook, he should live by his own code.
Golovkin also took on a cruiserweight in Jacobs who refused to take a drug test.................. Golovkin also knocked Marco Rubio out, who is 6 feet 1 inches tall, weighed-in at 168, on fight night he was probably a cruiserweight also. Rubio is a hard puncher, rock solid chin, but Golovkin knocked him out in the 2nd round. Golovkin took it easy on Jacobs because of his cancer, but don't be fooled, Golovkin is very strong fighter and can punch. The same punch that stopped Quillin, did not even blink Golovkin's eyes............Rubio knocked Lemieux out, do not forget that and he took Lemieux's hardest punches...............
If it really happened, and he really would, Ward would be utterly confused why there won't be a Kazakh referee and judges to make sure Golovkin wins. But sadly this whole thing is just a dream scenario, with dreamt up "twitter sources" without any roots in real life. That said, Ward's options are 1) rematch Kova, 2) retire, 3) go another route and get sued blind.
