@ats_fight@andreward Loved this! The mutual respect and love is so clear. These guys helped each other become the best at their craft. Two of the smartest minds in the game. Thanks for sharing your stories and wisdom guys. 🥊👍🏻
"I was a fan of him 'till the point we was going to fight him" 💨😅

@atsboxing@andreward Was just a great fight in general. Kovalev was superb at that time, and you got over the line using all the attributes that make good boxers into great boxers. Adapting under pressure, courage, dragging self belief out of the shadows.
@ats_fight@andreward Love how Virgil Hunter put his and his wife's contributions and unconditional support to Ward's life simply as a predestined "Spritual Journey."
Happy to see Virgil still healthy and looking fabulous in the 🍊 😎 👍
Part 2 with Andre Ward and Virgil Hunter goes places we didn't expect...
Andre admits, for the first time on tape, that he knew going into the second Kovalev fight it was going to be his last. He never told Virgil.
There's the knee that swelled to three times its size in camp and got drained two hours before he walked to the ring, rising to the moment, and then deciding to walk away from a sport you're at the very top of.
