Andre Ward vs Azea Augustuma?

I seriously doubt Ward fights such a no-name, especially not on HBO. Let's say it was true. If the plan is to fight Kovalev then let him do it. He needs to adjust to the weight class. At least it won't be like Stevenson who has fought a long list of no hopers. A top fighter gets acclimated to a new weight by fighting gatekeepers and borderline contenders, not no-hopers and no-names. There's no reason for me to believe that Ward would waste his time with Azea. At least Paul Smith was semi-relevant due to his fights with Abraham.

No, I learned of him when HBO approved him for Edwin Rodriguez because HBO owed Rodriguez a fight from the Ward matchup. I think it's pretty obvious Andre Ward won't fight Azea Augustama. It's just interesting to debate. Yeah I don't think he'll fight him either. But if he will I will never shut up about it.

You put too much value into an internet message board. It's easy to be "liked" on here. Just get on your knees for Golovkin, Kovalev, Klitschko, Pacquiao, and HBO. My opinions are valid and respected on here, they just don't agree with the majority. It's cute to see you idolize men that were born in the same region as I was. Eastern Europe in general does not have a lot of respect (I'm putting it nicely) for non-whites. It always makes me giggle to see a Spanish man idolize fighters from such an intolerant region. You don't seem to be very self-aware. Especially since you follow me from thread to thread admonishing me for being a white man that roots for a country dominated by black fighters. Maybe you should visit another strip club and pay hookers to listen to your feelings again? :lol1: :lol1: says the butthurt sissy boy who has to red k any post he disagrees with.......

Azea Augustuma? F*cking A. The 5'11, 19-2 LHW who lost to Edwin Rodriguez by scores of 90-100, 90-100, 91-99 and who lacks a win over a top 50 opponent.... Blame Golovkin and his fans doe. Not Quillin, not Martinez, not Sturm, not Cotto, not Ward.

Why Szef? What has Ismayl Sillakh ever done to prove that he is any better than the #95 (thanks for the correction) LHW in the world? At least Azea Augustama only lost a decision to Denis Grachev. Ismayl Sillakh was brutally knocked out. I'm suprised HBO approved Kovalev-Sillakh, they are lucky Kovalev didn't kill that boy. Sick, disgusting mismatch. I like Kovalev, he's a killer. His resume is strange though. Two excellent wins: Hopkins, Pascal. But his other defenses have been deplorable: Sillakh, Agnew, Caparello, Mohammedi. The boxing media should really hold him to a higher standard because he is capable of so much better. Well I don't know maybe because BoxRec's rankings are based on algorithms? Stop defending this fight, you didn't know who Augustama is until you opened this thread and googled him.

Ward is not relevant. And that quote you fools are always using? That is from 4 years ago before GGG had even stepped in the ring once in the US when he was looking for a fight against anyone to get things on the road. Not that you would realize that as all Ward fans seem to be stuck in a time warp that ends in 2011. Most of them are also stuck on my ignore list, where you just landed. :buttkick: Oh snap. Long time and respected Boxing Scene member Barcham has put me on ignore? Damn. I shouldn't have expressed an opinion contrary to his. Wait ...who the f*ck is Barcham and why should I care? With his 2015 join date. :lol1:

I cannot believe some posters defending this attrocious match up. :ugh:

It's also worse than Garcia choosing salka. Ward is supposed to be one of the best guys in the world and he's trying to fight a guy who barely cracks the top 100. What's funny is that Ward will probaly still UD this guy without hurting him once.

He's fighting a guy who's ranked much lower than the guy he fought last time... Even if it is a tune up fight, how can anyone even defend this?

This is worse than Paul Smith actually. It's also worse than Garcia choosing salka. Ward is supposed to be one of the best guys in the world and he's trying to fight a guy who barely cracks the top 100.

Really? Azea Augustama is rated #92 at LHW by BoxRec. Ismayl Sillakh is rated #97 at LHW by BoxRec. One was a title defense (Kovalev-Sillakh), the other would be a tune-up in Ward's first fight at the full weight limit. I'm not surprised you have an issue with Ward though. You seem to hate a lot of black fighters. Oh so now BoxRec is a reliable source when it comes to rankings :lol1: Two things: Sillakh is actually rated #95 and was much higher than Augustama is now before he fought Kovalev. Nice try, Pinocchio. Also, according to BoxRec GGG is the second P4P fighter in the world while Ward is 19th on their list :lol1:

It is amazing that in this place any b s that is put out there from any fighter the haters just runs with it

Marginally better than Ward's. HE is seeking out top ranked opposition and current champions in his current weight class. What is Ward after, a guy that is much smaller than he is or some guy that has no business being in the same ring with him as the first of 3 "tuneups" for his arrival at 175? Golovkin has a better resume than ward. I've heard it all now. Back to football :usa2:

If his 0 is weak what do you call golovkins? Marginally better than Ward's. HE is seeking out top ranked opposition and current champions in his current weight class. What is Ward after, a guy that is much smaller than he is or some guy that has no business being in the same ring with him as the first of 3 "tuneups" for his arrival at 175?

LOL. Pathetic.

This is worse than Paul Smith actually.

I don't have an accent bud. I've lived in America since I was a child. You seem to be a very wretched person. I envision you shaking with anger during every post. Why does boxing make you so angry? Sure you don't, bud. I get along with 95% of the board, everyone thinks you're an idiot. Who's angry? You're a loser I have no patience for so I talk to you like the garbage you are.

You seem to hate a lot of black fighters. Lol you picked one guy out the four you listed that is rated worse. Such a queer. You don't know anything about me to make an assumption like that but it's clear to everyone that you're a self-loathing Eastern European who's trying to compensate for his borat sounding accident by slurping off every black fighter. Go away vitali.

Funny people keep saying ward is begging for golovkin.. Who called out who first? Who's card got pulled twice by actual good fighters then declined to fight?
