    Love hearing from Joel and give his take on these fights. Hes always really accurate when he talks about them. I really think though that Ward is going to mangle and hold Ward and it will end up being a really boring fight. I see him winning a competitive fight in which his jabbing and holding is going to leave Kov confused and just headhunting.

    Ward knows for certain that everybody in that arena except for his family and his corner wants him to lose.
    If HBO has their way Kovalev is walking out of the Ta-Mobile arena a champion as long as he is standing after the final bell. They have invested a lot of money in the 3 comrades and Ward is getting in the way. If he knows this he "HAS" to bring his A game and come to win no matter what. He can't let up, he can't slip up, and he can't go down.

    That would be some horse shzit if HBO tries to set SOG up to fail. If this is stacking the deck then Ward best jab, jab and grab. People always talk about Ward and his Headbutt, which is embellished IMO, so he might need to wax that head :redface:and put it good use on the inside if HBO is trying to sell him down the river.


    I want a clean fight with no excuses:ole:

    I dont see HBO not wanting an American to win vs any Russian

    HBO is a company that has broadcast some of the worlds most outrageous mismatches and cheered on the guy they invested in no matter what. It's not about USA vs Russia not in this climate in America. It's about anybody beating up a Black guy, especially an undefeated one. I know you are going to say I'm baiting but I also bet and boxing is about emotion and always has been. They could not get Mayweather so they will build up and destroy anybody like him whether he is outspoken or not. Look at how much money hating that guy made both companies (HBO/Showtime) do you think they don't want to see Ward go Broner, or Crawford?

    It's about the casual fight fans that spend money. This is really about HBO wanting that UFC crowd.

    I dont know man
    look at Crawford, the guy is pure quality, you mean they invest in him just to see him lose ? naah, u can say I'm naive but I dont see it
    IMO they wish Crawford is the new Mayweather so he can generate that dough for HBO, plus Terence is alot more likeable than Money May and entertaining, the schooling he gave to Postol was pure class

    Also look at Bradley, an HBO fighter, got paid very well, and has that robbery over Pacman, on HBO

    bro u say it like no black man can.win on HBO
    and its just not like that
