u gotta love Steve Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing 1 Apr Its ironic to me, guys like Pac/May do big PPV's and they get ripped for match-ups. But others get a pass to try to become PPV stars... Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing 1 Apr Its funny, if Mayweather hand-picks the easiest guys( which he has) he rightfully gets heat. Ward tries it, and people act like his manager Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing 1 Apr Tell ya what, if Canelo beats Trout on April 20th, he might make Andre Ward's short-list of future opponents. Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing 1 Apr Honestly, what's wrong with Ward facing the winner of the Froch-Kessler rematch? The winner is clearly the top contender at 168 Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing 1 Apr So Andre Ward wants to face a guy in Chavez Jr who lost 11 of 12 rounds in his last fight as a middleweight? Uh, ok #boxing Steve Kim @stevemaxboxing 1 Apr Ok, but seriously, if Ward is willing to go to 160 to face Floyd, then why not Chavez Jr? Just wondering, again...
Kim can be a bit of a dick in how he comes across, but this is an awful fight. Chavez got his ears boxed off for 11 rounds by a small MW. No excuse for this fight to happen at all.
Chavez Jr is as big as Ward, he just uses all kinds of methods (sometimes illegal) to briefly shrink down to 160 for the weigh-in. He's the one who's actually picking on smaller guys.
And last time he fought a smaller guy he got a lesson. I repeat that this is a **** fight and there's no excuse for defending it.
I don't see why Kim is so butt hurt. It is obvious he is just trying to get more subscriptions for his garbage ass site.
