Nevada Commission says "no" to the Rohan Murdock vs. Andre Ward mismatch

[Combat Talk Radio]

Or...maybe Ward doesn't want to experience the Paul Williams effect?

Woah woah woah, so Ward is fighting tune ups then?
Tell me again how he wanted to fight GGG

Seriously though, it makes me wonder what's going on with Ward. He must have some confidence issues right now. Maybe his past injuries were worse than he led us to believe? No idea, but there has to be a reason for why he's trying to take on multiple soft touches and forcing these guys out of their own weight classes.

Glaser says he's shot. Maybe he is right.

I've been thinking the same thing myself for a while now, that Ward either know's he can't hack it any more or has lost his desire to fight.

Good for this then, I guess Ward might not get on this undercard I hope he does but I want him to fight a game opponent.

Because he would have bloated up to his career highest weight on the night of the fight and hope that would have been enough, that's my opinion.

Team ward look like fools right now.

His management team sucks.
Grow a pair Andre and fight the 40th Ranked light heavyweight at 175.

Smh

First off, I don't think it's physical. He is a fit guy, doesn't really blow up between fights and always makes weight (whatever the stipulation). It may be the latter, maybe he just doesn't want to get in their with a live body any more or wants to be as tested as possible before a Kovalev or a GGG or a DeGale or a Stevenson.

Then again, fighting scrubs won't get him there. Ward looked out of sorts against Smith, even with someone who has limited power like Ward should have dropped Smith inside 5. It took him 9 right? It's not convincing to me, or to Ward himself, however his fans seem to think i twas "great".

I'd like Ward to be 100%, mentally and physically so we can get his fights against GGG/Kov and possibly Stevenson. They will be the difference between him being good and being great.

Andre wards shouldn't be fighting tune ups on ppvs. Welcome to ppv undercards andre. Lmao
