ANDRE WARD OPENS UP ON "OFFICIAL" NOVEMBER SHOWDOWN WITH SERGEY KOVALEV; WANTS FIGHT TO BE IN VEGAS

[Mad Good Dro]

"The contracts are signed...I believe it'll be a showdown come November this year...that's the timeframe that everyone is targeting...there's a contract already and I signed my part and I think he signed his part, so I think it's official...nothing's concrete as far as date that I know of and I know there's no venue set yet...I would love to bring that fight to Vegas," stated undefeated former world champion Andre Ward, who talked about his highly-anticipated showdown with Sergey Kovalev.

Give them both a tuneup and do it in November.

The contract reportedly states the fight can't be in Oakland or Russia, other than that it is where they can get the most money.

Let's do it.

I don't think it will do big numbers. Only boxing and semi-boxing fans like myself are really aware of them.

tuneup fights for both before a fight in November?

it's practically June already in the boxing world, and nothing's been settled for those supposed tuneups.

If they saying November and a tuneup in between they must be looking hard for a couple of jobbers


Get Randy Hoegan and Gillberg on the phone

If they want a tune up fight, they gotta both speed it up, because they're both going to wanna make some money off of that and it needs time to be promoted, and time to recover. I'm thinking Kovalev may end up with a tune up and Ward doesn't, or they both don't.

See I don't agree with this(giving them a tune up)

We've let fights marinate to much. Gamboa vs Juan MA comes to mind.

Plus you run the risk of someone getting hurt and pushing the fight back... If that happens should the other just be inactive until the Op heals?

I'm fine with Vegas... I would prefer the Barclay's though(so I can go)..

Well Kovalev has a tuneup signed to take place in Russia. The debate was if HBO was willing to pay for Ward to have one. I don't care who Ward fights, it could be Salka level, but before he fights Kovalev, I feel like Ward should get another fight. He looked like he could work off a little rust the last time out.

Bout to take lil man to practice but I have some gifs on deck whenever @Newzz decides to make the official thread as to how I think Ward is going to win it. Aside from power there is nothing Kovalev does that Ward doesn't do better and Ward will be deciding at what range the fight will take place as well.

I think a lot of people are going to be surprised at how strong(psychically not punching power although Ward does have that Floyd "keep you honest power") Ward is going to look in this fight.


Also taking avi bets here

Yeah he deserves a soft touch I wouldn't mind giving him a Salka type of deal just to keep him warm do a Hopkins/Jones type of split card and build up to November.
