Andre Ward vs Azea Augustuma?

[soul_survivor]

Smh.............

what makes you smh? I'm curious. Do you think Gonzalez is a good opponent for a man who is supposedly p4p top 2 or 3?

Ward has had only ONE fight since signing with Roc Nation. Yes, I know that it seems like he has been back in the news for ages now, but he has only been in the ring ONCE in the last two years.

But yes... it IS a joke.

I was counting the Rodriguez fight too but just realised he fought only once since then lol

Azea Augustuma? ****ing A. The 5'11, 19-2 LHW who lost to Edwin Rodriguez by scores of 90-100, 90-100, 91-99 and who lacks a win over a top 50 opponent....

So ummmm, Azea Augustuma? #boxing

Besides the canelo-cotto fight. Roc nation is blowing it big time. This Azea dude is all they can come up with for Ward. The canelo-cotto fight only got finalized because of golden boy. By themselves Roc Nation ain't doing a damn thing. Ward is blowing it big time. If Roc Nation wants to start making noise they are going to have to start putting up some big money to make these big fights for Ward, i.e. Golovkin and kovalev. They can't sit back and make fights like this.

Eh, but yea sure. Everyone gots some of those types of fans. Overall was what I was meaning.

I don't for the life of me see the big deal with the venue for the Super Six fights. I'm not confident in saying any Super Six fight outcome would have changed outside of the Froch vs Dirrell fight if it had been held elsewhere.

Ward wouldn't have been allowed to use his head to cut up Kessler anywhere but Oakland.

#2 P4P talking big names as per usual

[MDPopescu]

Paul Smith was a BELOW AVERAGE fighter. Augustuma is a BELOW AVERAGE fighter. When does Ward work his way up to average? After fighting below average guys? So after this fight, Ward gets another two fights against AVERAGE guys and THEN he can take on a quality contender or two and THEN he can fight Kovalev?

That will probably take us well into 2018 and Kovalev will no longer be fighting at LHW if he is still fighting at all.

Who said he will fight Kovalev?
I don't remember seeing him even pronouncing the name "Kovalev" up to now...

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

This is such a step down for Azea Augustuma what is he doing with his career. Pssh.

Andre ward s career has turned into a joke.

A complete joke.

Ward #1 p4p doe

You better be happy and appreciate it if Ward steps into the ring and shows his greatness to all of you.


You think anyone wants to see Canelo vs Cotto when the Grandmaster Ward is showcasing his skills?

Ward vs Augustus will steal the show!!!

PS I have not heard the name of Wards opponent before, but thanks to the internet i found him.

He used to be a sparringpartner of the legendary Rod Salka and prepared him for his battle against Danny Garcia.

This just shows me, Ward is taking his career serious from now on and does everything for the fans.

So many butthurt idiots on this forum.

Ward will fight Gonzalez, Barrera, and Kovalev.
