    Comments Thread For: Rodriguez: Andre Ward Needs Me More Than I Need Him!


    Super middleweight contender Edwin Rodriguez (24-0, 16KOs) told BoxingScene.com that he refuses to accept what he believes is an unfair offer for a potential fall fight with WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (26-0, 14KOs).

    Rodriguez beieves Ward's back is against the wall in terms of options. HBO has rejected several potenial opponents that were presented by Ward's handlers. Rodriguez is coming off his biggest payday, which took place in Monte Carlo in July. He picked up $600,000 in a four man tournament, after knocking out Denis Grachev in the first round.

              What an unfortunate day and age where a young contender thumbs up his nose at a shot against the world champion.

                      He should've kept his mouth closed. Ward is going to be #1 in this division for a while. And when he's back on his feet, getting called out and all, and Rodrigues actually wants the fight; Ward will remember this. Most would jump at the chance to beat p4p #2, but this guy is something else

                          Why you guys think being the champ in this era means a flying fuck when negotiating money and terms for a fight? 90% of the time it does!

                          I agree its sad, but it is what it is!!

                                  If Rodríguez really fancied his chances, he's have taken this opportunity. It can still happen though as Rodríguez clearly is playing hardball and he just might have a point in Ward running out of options.

                                  Still I'd say the offer from Ward is ok.

                                      He's right. Andre doesn't have a lot of options, and he's getting older every day.
