Andre Ward's Commentary

[WesleySnipes]

Does HBO, Kellerman & Lampley even know how bad they make themselves look and how they hurt the sport with their biased BS? A real question! I mean take Lampley for example, he talks so much BS but if nobody over the years tell him that its clear that he dont stop with that cause he maybe really believe the sh-it he is talking. A BUNCH of people (boxing fans through petitions or known people like ex-boxers or some promoters) need to point that out or nothing will change...

I give credit to Kellerman, for admitting that he was possibly swayed in his own persoanl judging by groupthink being with Lampley, and seeing Algieri's face look like a mess.

I did think Max gave plenty of credit to Algieri, several times remarking at how well he was boxing but with Lampley you know he's all in on the company guys and Roach fighters.

Lampley's comments after the decision were pretty disgraceful.

"No wonder why it took so long to tabulate the scores. A stunning result in Brooklyn where Chris Algieri weathers two knockdowns in the fist round, and a completely shot right eye. And winds up getting from the official judges a generous split decision victory over Ruslan Provodnikov.

I couldn't hear Lampley last night because he kept on sucking Ruslan's **** all night and I was rooting for Ruslan. IMO Ward did a great job. Algieri may not have any power but he was landing clean, crisp punches that were snapping Ruslan's head back. Steve Wiesfeld also deserves a smack upside the head, too. HBO should at least make the **** sucking less obvious. Last night was a new low for Lampley and Kellerman.

Ward did well. I like HBO's crew, but last night was bad.

Kellerman seemed on the verge a few times of saying that Algieri was winning, but he was either hesitant because of the HBO judge or holding back because he knew it wasn't the company line.

Froch will KtfO of ward in a UK rematch

I would love to see Ward go to the UK for a Froch rematch. It would be a wise decision for him. He won't be getting KTFO though.

What makes you so sure

I think it will go to decision like the first fight. Froch is a hell of a fighter but knocking Ward out is a tough task. This would be a great fight in the UK. I would pick Ward by decision.
