Comments Thread For: Photos: Andre Ward, Paul Smith Face To Face at Weighin

its called a tune up

So in a tune up? Usually the guy coming back has had either an absence, a loss that was unanticipated, a medical problem, etc. It could even be a contract problem...anything that has caused a lack of activity.

So, the marquee fighter will take an easy opponent to get back in the rhythm, get there timing back, etc.

Now...should we review? or did the remedial set get the concept of why Ward is fighting this guy?

They look like the costars of some comedy B-movie about to guys that go round bungling robberies and getting wasted. Like if they remade Home-Alone, this is the new Harry and Marv.

Lmao brahhhhh!

What's ironic is originally for this fight, team Ward explored bringing Cedric Agnew and Thomas Oosthuizen down in weight. Now he's fighting a far lower level fighter from a lower weight class at a higher weight than he would've fought those guys.

I wonder if Agnew or Tommy-Gun showed up at 176.4lbs he'd still be will to fight them?

Andre looks lean and mean. It won't matter that Smith is coming into the ring as a cruiserweight.

Ward and some dude



Some dude should come to the ring chugging Budweiser, no robe just a wife beater with mustard stains and a 6 pack of bud hanging from his belt.

That's predominantly every mma ufc fighter
