Kelly has had three 'tuneups' at this point anyhow. A step up fight would probably be better than a soft touch anyhow but he went for 'the man'.
Dirrell is the only other guy he hasn't fought and there was plenty of time to make that fight instead.
i agree that there isnt much else right now at smw. he probably does have a legit injury. but if the fight hasnt been rescheduled i'd be curious if they are looking to try to set something else up since it doesnt appear that many in the press were super stoked on the fight.
Pavlik vs Rodriguez, Stevenson, Bika, even Bute... a step-up before the Ward fight. Make it happen, HBO.
I'm starting to have a feeling with Wards so called freak injuries before fights that he's roiding and trying to cycle off and is using his excuses to avoid testing................... I had the same feeling about Berto, injuries and using a month old earthquake to duck fights, and then he gets popped.........What does Berto and Ward have in common, Victor Conte:deal
Was just about to post something similar. Incredible post.:deal But of course, Ward, Berto, and Donaire only consult convicted PED crook Conte for his expertise regarding 'supplements'. :roflatsch:dead
It's the most bent, corrupt, crooked sport in existence. Nothing would surprise me. People on here (The Ripped Fuel Brigade) still try to give Roy Jones a pass FFS. atsch
bahhhh.... its a throw away fight anyhow Let Pavlik prove himself vs the class below Ward.... he wouldnt make it past Kessler, Froch, Bika If i was him, i'd go for Bute in Canada... there's a decent chance of cracking him.
