Comments Thread For: Team Martinez: If Ward Moves Down, Sergio Will Fight Him

[daperculator]

Glad someone else pointed out the 7 day weight of 167, which makes Sampson a liar. in the article he said Sergio was at weight last week...weight is 160

[Mr.Fantastic]

Ward would get Dawson'd...Team Martinez is doing a Team Pac....it was done to them so they're doing it to Team Ward now...follow me?

Don't you mean Team Martinez is doing a Team Ward now?

[Evil Abed]

Ward is an olympic gold medalist, undefeated, and king of his division. who should he concede to?

I can respect the guys that don't cave in to pressure and fight at a weight they can't really compete at. there will be no asterisk after they get demolished, just ppl talking trash about them and an ass whoopin.

Floyd moved up to 154 to fight Cotto.

If your great, which Ward is, He should have little issue with this type of concession.

[mrpleaseplease]

If ward wouldnt go up 2lbs to meet chad at 170, there is zero possibility of this happening

This would have made sense, if Dawson was calling out Ward at a catchweight of 172, and Ward said, nope 168 or no fight. Instead Dawson called out Ward, said he'd fight him at 168, and Ward accepted.

Team Martinez is indeed doing a Team Pacquiao. Demanding a weight or no fight.

nah..Team Pac....they said they'll fight Sergio at 150...a weight they were SURE he couldn't make and be the same dude at....the only difference is, Ward holds the cards and doesn't have to play the DESPERATE housewife...Sergio has put on a skirt to get what he wants...Ward can keep on his pants

they're bluffing just like Team Pac was imo

Without a CW this fight is dead plain and simple. Ward Dirrell seems logical but he hasn't done anything to earn a shot yet.A Bute fight still could be possible in the future if he beats Froch in the rematch and at 175 you have Cloud Pascal those would be good fight for Ward if he decides to move up

[BattlingNelson]

At least Martinez doesn't rule out jOakland....


Does anybody else find Martinez newfound love for WBC odd? Last year they where utter scum.

Moving up is a lot different than moving down. Would Floyd have moved down to 140 to fight Marquez, nope, he couldn't even tried, he couldn't even make 144. Does that make him any less great? No, it makes him smart, just come in the least weight possible and make up for the rest with money.

You're not great if you move down and make a concession, you're more like, in great danger to be weightdrained and unhealthy, and just embarrass yourself, not having any strength and just be there as pinata for the other opponent enjoying himself with a weightdrained weakling.

No.

Since it was team Dawson that called out Ward at 168.

Really, how many times is this going to have to be explained?

Ward has said that he won't go below 168.

Call him a ***** or whatever, but it's the weight he is most comfortable with at this time.

I don't see the fight coming off, and see a JCC jr fight much more realistic, since Jr. is a pretty big 160.

I wouldn't be fair for Martinez to have to go up to 68, and it wouldn't be fair for Ward to have to drop to 60.

End of.
