    Andre Ward is fighting Kovalev because he has nowhere else to go. He's signed to Roc Nation - Haymon and jay-z absolutely hate each other and will never do business together due to some very serious beef in the music industry.

    He's not getting a shot at any of the other light heavies and he's not getting on Showtime. HBO has him in a ****ing vice-grip.

    This fight is happening. I think it'll get delayed from Nov 19th, but it's happening.

    ward was trying to make a fight with viktor postol...which is ok because hes a big jr welterweight...but it fell through last minute so brand was the best he could do

    Wrong again, he tried to make a fight with Pistol, not Postol. He wanted to fight Pistol Pete but couldn't persuade Louisiana governor to allow him to dig up Pete.

    Your hero has retired. Get over it and focus on active fighters.

    It's a ****ing disgrace that Ward hasn't fought anyone meaningful in over 4 years and is still so highly rated and gets a freepass while feasting on corpses, with the excuses lined up on a plate for this son of a *****.

    Just cannot wait until Kovalev puts an end to this fraud once and for all, because if he survives you won't see him get in the ring with another live body unil 2022.
