Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Promoter Reacts To Andre Ward's Comments

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Andre Ward raised a few eyebrows during his recent appearance on 'the Fight Game with Jim Lampley' on HBO when he intimated to Michelle Beadle that he would not be rushed into a fight with light-heavyweight Sergey Kovalev. The belief is that Ward's new multi-fight deal with HBO would call for him to face 'the Krusher' at some point next year.

"We would love to do the fight sooner, but Ward wants his tune-ups."

LOL at Ward trying to pretend that HBO would sign him without Ward signing off on a Kovalev fight.

It seems like this is the next big fight after Cotto/Canelo

Can't wait.

Who's to blame for all this delaying pish?
Wards doing it, Khan's doing it,
Is Armstrong to blame or did he copy SRL?

Ward fought Froch and Kessler. No doubt he wants this opportunity

If he fights some top guys I'm okay with him saving Kov til last, but wtf man this type of outlook isn't garnering you any fans Mr. Ward. Floyd cameback & fought a P4P guy. Ali cameback & had 1 fight & fought Frazier. Ward still trying to fight bs opponents.

I've never been the biggest Ward fan, but I've always appreciated his talent & thought he capable of great feats, but he's starting to be one of the biggest disappointments in the sport of boxing.

This thread goes to show the ineptitude of boxing reporters. Ward said "what's the rush" when Michelle Beadle asked Ward why the fight isn't happening "tomorrow". He never implied Fall 2016 was "too soon".

Now let the hate flow. Ward fans: stay patient!
