Why did Andre Ward lie about knock down?

His chin didn't really improve he just got into the flow of the fight and got used to kovalevs power. But I understand what you're trying to say.

 

I've noticed over the years that boxers have to ignore reality most of the time.
Like when they pump themselves up to "hate" a guy that they really don't hate
just to get the adrenaline going. Like when they continue to fight when they
should retire. Like when BHop swears he slipped out of the ring rather than
admit he got his ass beat...by a white guy to whom of course he could NEVER
be defeated by.

Ward has to tell himself that he didn't get hurt or get knocked down by Kovalev
because that would diminish his ego, his self regard. Lots of boxers do the same thing,
but it is interesting with respect to Ward because he's a smart guy, I think, outside
of the ring. But I guess he just has to be that way.

 

Most self righteous, sanctimonious, religious zealots are horrible liars who will screw you over before you can blink.

 

He's a narcissic ***** that does look cute for the cameras. I've was standing right besode him a year ago at the Kovalev-Pascal fight. What I've just read and what I've experienced tells me a lot about Ward. He's a POS to his fans...I'm not one of them anymore.

 

Power is the last thing to leave a fighter so Shane still hit plenty hard. How fought Floyd afterwards has nothing to do with the examples that show that his chin was still solid.

 

You've got problems because you're digging into this **** like it's your job. "Grasping at straws", ever heard the phrase?

 

You were beside him? What did he do?

 

He was with Lennox Lewis. At least, Lewis has the decence to answer you when you ask him something. Ward...pure ignorance. He won't even look at you. Usually boxers are easy to talk with...Ward...forget it.

 

Ya Lennox looks like he has class

Jesus so someone asked ward something and he wouldn't even look at him or answer him?

 

That someone is me!lol
He was right next to me for 5 minutes and I have been very polite with him.

 

Jesus and he just blanked you and wouldn't look at you or answer back.

I always assumed from what I had seen of ward that he was this bad of a person but its nice to hear its actually true

 

I'd agree with you apart from Crawford.

Apart from that garage incident ,iv heard a lot of reports he is a great chap from people who have met him, you guy here said he met him after a fight and he asked did he want to go to the after party with him

 

Exactly! And count on him to act cute behind in front of the cameras...

To be honest, I was surprised cause he looks sympathic on TV.

 

If I see him I'll abuse him for you .
