Re: General boxing discussion, news, updates, etc.
Kovalev beat Ward clearly.
He got 2 mill which is showcase money for the biggest fight real heads know they can make besides maybe GGG vs canelo.
Boxing fucked up and terrible because of bullshit.
Last I heard was ppv buys were shit and kovalev ward 2 probably won't even happen...
This whole post why boxing sucks

I agree boxing is fucked, too much politics, too much greed, too much ducking, etc.
Re: General boxing discussion, news, updates, etc.
Adding on to Kovalev/Ward, it did ok numbers cause it was sandwiched in between combat ppvs. Ward won a highly disputed fight(in Vegas, during the beginning of Putin talking that shit to US), he claims he was underwhelmed by Kovalev's power, & general consensus is that Ward will win a rematch more decisively.
Now hes saying he wants more money & has no problems retiring if his demands arent met. He also works for Roc Nation Sports & i doubt hes made them any money with his high purses for tuneup fights, & Kov fight.

Re: General boxing discussion, news, updates, etc.
Compare that to Mayweather, who alot of us see as a ducker but he actually made his promoter money late in his career.
Mayweather was arguably equally as accomplished as Ward when he fought Jose Castillo. He won early rounds, hurt his shoulder, & imo lost cleanly. He got the decision. He coulda moved on, but rematched immediately after rehab, no tuneups. Same with Marcos Maidana.

damn ward gonna retire?
need that kovalev rematch. i didnt think kovalev "clearly" won.
i had it tied going into the 12th and i edged the last round to kovalev.
wonder how Ward would have done against joe calzaghe
Re: General boxing discussion, news, updates, etc.
All good [MENTION=19872]Moose[/MENTION], not familiar with jack tepora. Someone we should watch?
Hippo, Ward might be serious but he also threw the retirement card out when he was in contractual disputes with Goosen i believe. Ward lost in court multiple times, then his promoter died & the successor thought it best to cut ties.

Re: General boxing discussion, news, updates, etc.
Calzaghe arguably best ever at 168, but i think Ward's style would beat him. Ward was very strong at 168.
Cal barely beat Hopkins at 168. I think Ward woulda beat Calzaghe in a boring, high foul fight. Imo, prime Chad Dawson would be the only guy to decisively defeat Calzaghe. All speculation.
