How can Barthelemy attain Ward-like proficiency in the not so sweet art of ball-busting? Is Ward the most successful groin specialist?
He does not have the powers that be in boxing kissing his arse that's why, although in the first fight with Relikh he lost badly, at least this time a rematch was ordered and Pabon was the referee, good thing it was not Tony Weeks. If Pabon had been the referee for Kovalev/SOB Ward, Ward would have been disqualified! Those were very low blows by SOB, very low! HBO should have raised Hell demanded the truth! There should be a rubber match ordered with neutral judges, referee, boxing commission, SOB would lose them. Better still, have the fight in Russia with Russian judges, referee, boxing commission, Kovalev would win for sure, that is the same as SOB having all three American judges, referee, boxing commission, so a rubber match should be ordered there! SOB would lose and he would not be allowed to land low blows, hold, elbow, headbutt, etc.
Lots of rough boxers out there, but few make it to the ATG list When it comes to ATGs Andre Ward is number two on the list of rough housing ATGs, right after Harry Greb When it comes to hated ATGs Andre Ward is also number two right after Edwin Valero
Watching a referee react to the deliberate low-blows by Barthelemy was a staunch reminder of the Kovalev/Ward 2 fiasco. The garbage from that night continues to emanate a stench.
