Andre Ward may fight another opponent before Kovalev

[Beanz]

He says that he feels strong at the new weight and is focusing on Barrera

Andre Ward feels stronger at 175, plans another fight before Kovalev | World Boxing News


Andre Ward: Without victory over Sullivan Barrera, there is no Sergey Kovalev fight - | Boxing News - boxing news, results, rankings, schedules since 1909

He hasn't fought his first fight at 175 yet. As I Predicted , at this rate , IF he ever fights Kovalev, it'll be around 2019!!!!

[powerpuncher]

Ward is the kind of fighter that won't really lose much going up in weight. Power is the big thing you lose which he wasn't known for anyways. If he can fit another fight between now and November to prepare for kovalev then great but I doubt that will happen.

The good thing is Ward can't wait for Kovalev to get old, 'cause they're both the same age.

[palmerq]

Pretty sure the plan was always for andre ward to have 2 fights before kovalev, he is just taking ages to do it since he pulled out last year, hopefully he gets on with it and we see what he can do.

[Sleepwalker]

Ward should be a megastar by now. I thought would have picked up where Floyd left off. He may be the best out there right now, but in terms of popularity and interest, he's not even in the top 10

[TitoFan]

If Ward had been an exciting and active fighter until now, and was just hemming and hawing before taking on Kovalev, I'd be more tempted to give a shit about the man. But seeing as to how that's not the case at all, he's non-existent to me.

Ward has never waited for anyone to get old..you must be confused with pacman or calzaghe.

Ward had never waited for anyone to get old, because he's just not that busy. Check that. He just DOESN'T FIGHT. Presidents come and go in between Ward fights. He's irrelevant. His fans live off memories of his fights in blurry black and white film. He's self-proclaimed SOG. So maybe he's off answering a higher calling.

lmao

Like I've said before, Ward takes the "safety first" Mayweather mentality to a whole different level.


Btw did I see him in a new Rocky movie ad? Not sure the role he has but I bet he's a guy that might fight the main guy in the next movie. You know, just to leave everybody hanging and wanting more. He wont even fight fake fights. Tony Bellow is the only real fighter in the movie.

Ps-I wonder what ate betting odds are on the fight? Gotta be 3/1 Ward even with the hibernation. I've never bet real cash on a fight but throwing 50 bucks on Barrera is pretty tempting

[terrorsid]

I'm gonna call my prediction!!! i'm going for Andre Ward by decision. I feel that everyone was thinking only remembers Ward at 168 as a champion, people don't remember that WARD HAS A GOLD MEDAL @ 175.
