Andre Ward vs. Rohan Murdock Nov 21 on Cotto/Canelo undercard

[therealpugilist]

Please just stop! Murdock is ranked 30th in a weight class beneath where Ward wants to face him at.

what was Monroe??? A club fighter as well.....he had no chance just like this guy vs Ward


There is no difference.....the difference is fanboys throw logic out the window when it pertains to their favorite fighter


Hell Kov just fought a non descript guy, Wilder did too.....the dude hasn't been active so let em work the rust off, those guys were active and no one was whining about their opponents

I guess its different for punchers....double standard

[DLX]

GGG haters ride Gennady for soft opposition, when in fact Gennady has faced tougher opponents than Ward has the last 3 years. This a step down from Paul Smith and that in itself is crazy!

This fight is a joke!

Just stop, there is no way you can defend this. NO WAY.

And It's different with the Willy fight cause GGG fights 4 times a year. They are not all going to be high ranked contenders. It's illogical, they are not available or willing to fight. Where as Ward fights about once a year. NO WAY to defend this.

I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of the Ward fanboys. I'm a fan of Ward myself but this is just unacceptable. Ward is now a LHW while he's picking on an overmatched opponent from SMW.

If Ward wanted tuneups in the LHW division to prep for Kovalev, why not choose an actual LHW?

[Daddy T]

never heard of him. Anybody seen him fight? Is he a Salka level opponent?

doing a little "self-analysis" there?

[BostonGuy]

It's ridiculous. I have never heard of any top fighter taking so many tune-ups.

It's his second tuneup, that's not unheard of. The quality of the opponent is what I take exception to.

Ward should be fighting a top 25 LHW for this fight. He's more than capable and has more to gain by fighting a better quality opponent.

you sound slow....who is gonna come back after being relatively inactive 3 years and having major shoulder surgery without a few tune ups


some of you guys really don't know much about boxing. Its not often people fight a high profile fight after a long lay off and when they have they usually lose because they haven't got their footing back



Have some common sense

[SN!PER]

Fighting Rohan when he should be fighting Gohan.

[The Hammer]

never heard of him. Anybody seen him fight? Is he a Salka level opponent?

Some of this fights are on YouTube.

He fights like he started boxing very recently, poor technique and slow footwork.

Ward will look very good against such a limited opponent, but what does it prove? How is fighting someone like Murdock going to help get Ward ready for top opponents?
