That's so true to our country too...
These corrupt mfers have their hands on almost everything...
Montenegro is two countries South from us and the situation there on the Balkans ain't so much better, maybe somewhere even worse... You know Montenegro is a barely 10 years old country, they became independent again in 2006.
they were apart of the big conglomeratum called Yugoslavia along with Serbs (orthodox), Macedonians (orthodox), Croatians (catholic), Slovenes (catholic), Bosniaks (muslim), Kosovo Albanians (muslim).
After communism broke down in the Eastern block, the whole Yugoslavia went into a bloody war with each other called the Yugoslav wars. With genociding towns and shyt.. Real barbaric shyt...
The war went on with pauses from 1991 to 2001. The result were may-many dead, many weapon, many ex-members of different para-military units which were active during the war. It left a fragmented picture in the area. Slovenia, Macedonia, Croatia and Bosnia all became independent from Serbia who originally wanted to expand their authority over the others.
Montenegro and Kosovo remained parts of Serbia, the country was called Serbia-Montenegro for a few years. Then in 2006 Montenegro became independent and a few years later Kosovo also.
So that region was pure fukkery... some of its parts still
Because the shytload of weapons from the age of the war they are one of the main weapon smugglers in Europe if I know it right and they also give the most hired killers in the European underworld cause of the amount of war veterans who were included in these unofficial military cliques...

I don't agree with Ggg anything to Ward,however I do agree with how he looked in the Kovalev fight.GGG is made for that wrestling shyt clinch shyt which is Wards strongest assest; the Ward Kovalev fight just showed that as far as being a super technical hands wise Ward isn't as good as he likes to believe; before Kovalev went into kill mode and went into dummy mode he was seriously boxing the shyt out of Ward and hurting him with every shot.....GGG im not sure he allows Ward to survive if he hurts; with his ability to cut off the ring and turn it into a dog fight.
Not that I ever felt Ward was shyt; he looked real ordinary once he finally face a elite level talent for the once; that boy lucky Calzaghe never fought him; he suppose be in his prime but looking like 40 year old Bhop out here
His stock as a boxer went down to me.
I respect him taking the fight to him and getting the win the way he did.
But I saw a couple things that bothered me.
1. He didn't look faster than Kovalev, which shocked me.
2. He couldn't outbox Kovalev at mid range at all.
It wasn't a situation where he got out powered or Kovalev got lucky at times,naw he outboxed ward.
Ward proved he's not on Mayweather level (I thought he was)

Or maybe KKKovalev is better than you originally gave him credit for?
And Ward beat him...so maybe you underrated how good KKKovalev actually is, and in turn, now you're underrating SOG

I disagree though. Kovalev is better than people think. He shut Hopkins down with skill and kept him from smothering him. I do think you are right that I don't think he's on Mayweather's level but lets be honest not many boxers will ever reach that level. But Ward adapted magnificently in that match imo

Naw,not at all.Or maybe KKKovalev is better than you originally gave him credit for?

Kovalev is good and I was very concerned for ward going into this fight. But ward definitely didn't look as fast as he used to and couldn't beat Kovalev at a boxing chess match.
And I still think Ward is great and a top 3 fighter at the moment.
But I had him up there next to money may and he's clearly not on that level.
Lol picture anybody outboxing mayweather the way ward was being done. That never happened over 20 years.
Ok
Ward was being outboxed for 4 rounds....I seen Floyd get outboxed for 4 rounds as well by Zab Judah
I also seen Floyd vs JLC 1.....and SOG vs KKKovalev was similar to that fight

If you agree with him not being on Mayweather level,then what do you disagree with,that's my main point.
He got outboxed mid range,fact
He wasn't showing a speed advantage either
Lara: Canelo Won’t Fight Golovkin; He Needs to Fight Me Again
By Keith Idec
Erislandy Lara hopes to secure another big fight later this year by beating Yuri Foreman on Friday night.
The Cuban southpaw wants a rematch with Canelo Alvarez. Lara thinks that fight will become available because he doesn’t expect the Mexican superstar to fight Gennady Golovkin in September, as promised by Oscar De La Hoya, Alvarez’s promoter.
“He’s all talk,” Lara told BoxingScene.com through an interpreter. “He’s never gonna fight Golovkin.”
Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs) is scheduled to fight Daniel Jacobs (32-1, 29 KOs) on March 18 at Madison Square Garden in an HBO Pay-Per-View main event. A win would inch the Kazakh knockout artist toward a highly anticipated, pay-per-view extravaganza against Alvarez (48-1-1, 34 KOs).
The 33-year-old Lara (23-2-2, 13 KOs) would be more than willing to fight Alvarez again once, as Lara predicts, Alvarez scraps his supposed plan to challenge Golovkin for middleweight supremacy.
“I would love to fight Canelo,” Lara said. “I, personally, think I won the fight. A lot of people I speak to all thought I won the fight. And that’s always gonna be a fight with an asterisk, a question mark. And great champions, like Floyd Mayweather, for example – fought Castillo and came right back and fought him the next fight. That’s what great fighters do.
“I’m willing to fight Canelo. My competition hasn’t been the same since [I fought] Canelo, but neither has Canelo’s competition. So in reality, if Canelo can’t get a big fight, he needs to come and fight me and fix the score.”
Lara lost a controversial split decision to Alvarez in a very competitive fight 2½ years ago in Las Vegas. Two judges – Levi Martinez (117-111) and Dave Moretti (115-113) – scored that 12-round, non-title fight for Alvarez. The third judge, Jerry Roth, credited Lara with a 115-113 victory at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Since losing to Alvarez, Lara is 4-0. He has beaten Ishe Smith, Delvin Rodriguez, Jan Zaveck and, most recently, Vanes Martirosyan in their rematch May 21 in Las Vegas.
His fight against Brooklyn’s Foreman (34-2, 10 KOs) will mark Lara’s first action since the Martirosyan rematch. Spike will televise the Lara-Foreman fight from Hialeah Park Racing & Casino, just outside of Miami (9 p.m. ET).
