    Another question that bothers some is whether the WWE is real or not. Is the Undertaker really an undertaker and a rassler?

    Maybe being in America intimidates him into being docile that way? I don't think so. That seems maybe indicative of chemically induced mental lethargy. I would have anything given him before tat fight lab tested. Why the sudden stamina issues in relation to ward? Never had them before. Strange! Sometimes one's enemies are closer than one can imagine. Why does his trainer seem so satisfied that he lost? Why is he denying the low blows?

    ''I'm not a dirty fighter. You can check any of my 20 fights I've never done that intentionally''

    Jim Grey: ''Are you a dirty fighter?''

    Andre Ward: ''Absolutely not!''

    ''I'm glad that I can win ugly sometimes (ROFL), because at the end of the day it's just about winning, right?

    ''I'm just saying, man, every cut I got is a headbutt or an elbow. Every single one.

    ''But that's why there's a third man in the ring (ROFL)''

    ''All these are either blatant headbutts or elbows, literally blatant. Not one of these was from a punch''

    ---Andre Ward

    ''At the end of the day, boxing is already a tough enough business to not have to put up with illegal blows.

    ''I don't mind the occasional foul if it's an accident but the intentional stuff I just can't put up with it''

    --Andre Ward

    The only dirty fighters are the ones who test positives for banned substances, other than that dirty and fighter is an oxymoron when in the same sentence. It's funny how so many people overlook the fact that this is a contact sport and queensbury rules are applied in most fights, but aren't always adhered to by the letter of the law. Fighters throughout history have always pushed the limits (just like Kov pushed the limit with rabbit punches) and it's up to ref to take control.

    The ref will not enforce the rules for the fighter he is told to favor.........................if Kovalev had landed those low blows he would have been disqualified like Golota was, but SOB is allowed to break all the rules, Roc Nation is most likely behind it.....................also Rigo hitting after the bell and holding and hitting. Did SOB teach him that?

    If Kov landed those low blows he'd be banned and suspended for a year let alone DQd and fined.

    Ward is old school and will do anything to win by any means even
    if means pushing the rules to the limit and beyond. Is he the
    only fight that has done this ? Holyfield, Fenech use similar tactic's
    and he will not be the last.

    All top fighters are not dirty..Your half condoning it ! Ward is dirty, it was up to the ref not Kov to take it in to his own hands. If Kov retaliated, he'd of got dq !
