Dontae* And I don't follow Boxing Youtubers as there is too much clutter. Too much filler and not enough killer. So to go out on a limb, I'd say no, I don't like him. But besides maybe one or two videos, I don't know what dude is about.
This having to settle into the weight is total bull ****. Its not needed when moving up 1 division especially when you get to the higher weight limits. Ward rehydrates into a cruiserweight so whats the point.
He just needs to get the rust off in that higher weight division. Nothing wrong with that. The skills are there.
I wouldn't know of him really. I do know Boxing YTers tend to be very very biased. Elie Seckbach is one of the most hateable guys in all of sport. Completely fake and toothless. How he actually earns a living shocks me.
The point is zero risk while waiting on another fighter(Kovalev/GGG) to build up a PPV fight so Ward can get the handout he's been begging for since 2013
Yeah it is needed and why you sweating it. If it wasn't an issue then GGG would have moved up and fought him. Let the man do what he feels comfortable doing. Kovalev is on the menu.
You should check out this burnout. He's a borderline genius. :smoke https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzUJirDOzMM [yt]FzUJirDOzMM[/yt]
I don't like Seckbach either. He an idiot who sucks up to every guy he can in order to get a interview. A lot of people like him but I don't. If I see him at a fight I might just snatch his camera from him.
That's irrelevant because the same set of circumstances are at play from Ward to Kovalev and from GGG to Ward. 168 is one division up from 160 and 175 is one division up from 168.
We should be happy that Ward is at least fighting. 1 fight in 3 years and he's the most talked about man in boxing. He must be doing something right.
