Seven years ago, one of boxing’s greatest accomplished a memorable feat. Andre Ward, who had been a unified super middleweight champion, took over as a unified light heavyweight champion on November 19, 2016. Unfortunately, the fight is remembered for an entirely different reason. Though “Son of God” won the fight unanimously, many felt that his opponent, Sergey Kovalev, was the rightful winner. A feeling of bitterness engulfed the fight, which entered the almanac of notoriety.
Somehow, as it appears, a little of that feeling has traveled down the road to this day. Considering yesterday it celebrated its seventh anniversary, a clip of the fight started gaining traction on social media. It didn’t take time for award-winning boxing writer Dan Rafael to share his views. The protagonist of the story, as expected, soon became aware of the development. Without wasting a minute, he joined the fray, pouring his heart out.

Shooting back at Rafael, Andre Ward wrote that the boxing writer, over the years, made false assumptions about numerous people, including him, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and Bernard Hopkins. He added further, “You have a certain type that you like. Lol. Your “type” always gets beat when they face us. Deal with it. Have a good rest of your night, buddy.” It appears that the post has now been deleted.
