Comments Thread For: Cotto's Adivser on Andre Ward: Great Progress For PPV

[bigdunny1]

isn't this a bad thing? why put someone super boring on a ppv? and right before the main event?

I agree. Much rather not see him on the ppv. No way it's a competitive fight so do you want ward in a boring 12 round mismatch or stick a lesser known Puerto Rican vs Mexican that's even matched on the under card? I rather that, you could pay 2 fighters like that save money and entertain fans before the main event rather then a mismatch ward fight that has the potential of sucking the air out the arena. Ward should be the main event of his own fights anyway.

The great progress they are talking about is that Team Ward have eliminated all possible candidates in the SMW division and that's to say SMWs who are totally out of condition and now they are moving on to filing through candidates from the LHW div - only those with more than 5 losses on their record and possibility of coming in at 3lbs underweight need apply.

2 or 3 tune ups is what they said from the beginning when Ward started fighting again

Yeah, except if you have a tuneup every 6-7 months how does that help 'shake off the rust'

Alot of you are idiots talking about ward is boring if you guys knew what it was like to get in the ring you guys would wish you were able to do the things ward does in the ring the guy is so good he makes it look easy so you guys call him boring!

I dont mind any style , i like aggresive styles better , what i do find funny is that the same guys talking **** about Ward are praising Wlad for example in other threads ....

They better put him in with someone that would make the fight exciting. His ass would get booed by a ton of Mexicans if the fight is boring. It could really turn off a lot of people to watch him in the future.

Because no one will watch if Ward headlines.

Simple. It will kill time from the PPV broadcast. Chances are that Gonzalez-Viloria and GGG-Lemieux won't go the distance.

An Andre Ward fight can easily kill 45 minutes and build anticipation for the main event.

[Ham Porter]

That's a great way to kill off any potential customers.

Hey, I never said Ward is smart lol.
He's been ****ing his own career in the armpit since 2010

No not a bad thing. There are actual boxing fans out there.

"Great progress" that's all this article had to say. I can't believe I clicked on this garbage.
