No Kovalev vs Ward In 2016!

It's in the contract. Kathy Duva explained this on fight hype or something a while back.
If they don't then boxing continues the spiral down hill in super fights.

 

yeah,,,knee is going to always be a good out. wish I had access to one of those machines myself...for the whole body.

 

:conf

 

poor Ward, he had everything when he was with Goosen, instead opted to go to court with the man who took him to the top, now it came back to bite him in the ass

 

My whole point all along has been: If it is so damn difficult for Ward to work out these tuneup fights with total nobodies until the last minute, how am I supposed to believe the Kov fight is a "done deal" already when they don't even have an official date or venue?

It's not about anyone ducking anyone...this is common sense and basic business 101. A bigger money fight is easier to negotiate than tuneup fights??? Since when? NEVER, that's when.

 

RocNation are short of money which is why Ward is having trouble landing a July opponent. The best guy in contention is Erik Skoglund, they tried to get Shabranssky but didn't have the money.

Regarding Ward-Kovalev, I'm picking that the fight happens in 2017. Too high chance of injury/promotional problems/lack of a third tune-up opponent for Ward for it to happen in 2016.

 

That's per Dan Rafael in one of his chats. I have no idea why RocNation is trying to skimp costs.

 

Just hope Ward fights someone with a Pulse in the mean time ....His last few fights were a disgrace.!!!!
