Martinez v Ward

[4Corners]

Much bigger than Pacquiao? Yes. Much bigger than Floyd? I think not. Bigger yes but not MUCH bigger.

Sergio has a couple inches on Floyd and is 15-20 lbs heavier on fight night....

Ward has a couple inches on Sergio and is about 10 lbs heavier on fight night.....

[Hougigo]

It won't be though. Sergio isn't leaving 160 and win/lose, Chavez will need 1-2 solid wins at 168 before fighting Ward.

I think Ward will fight Dirrell, Oosthuizen, Rodriguez, or Stevenson in his next fight.

Isn't Anthony Dirrell his mando? I remember they were talking about stripping him for not fighting Dirrell... evidently he still has his belt though.
I wouldn't mind seeing a Dirrell fight.... Tommy gun isn't ready yet IMO

[El Angel]

You mean the 3000 fucking miles he traveled from Oakland to Atlantic City to beat Froch in SS final?

Everyone seems to forget that and that the Dawson would've been a hard sell given their styles and being somewhat unknown to casuals. Dawson was not shafted by anything in Oakland, he just lost to the best and he admitted as much.

I don't know about Anthony Dirrell, since he's been off since that accident. I was thinking more along the lines of Andre Dirrell, after he beats Magee possibly for the WBA interim title.

Are we supposed to pretend that didn't happen or something? Or is Atlantic City considered his "home" now as well?

Either or, just looked up and Anthony was the mando, but got derailed because of the accident.
Didn't Ward say he doesn't want to face the Dirrells because he's close to them?

Right?

I can see people having problems with Ward fighting in Oakland. But it's not like ANY of the fight's have been close to warrant anybody to yell "robbery."

He's the one who nearly got robbed against Froch. Two judges were on crack and scored it 7 rounds to 5. Froch was one round away from a majority draw.

The difference is Martinez is willing to fight Floyd at 150 or 154. Meanwhile Ward wants to bring him up.... No catchweight.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Ward would give Sergio a boxing lesson.
