Comments Thread For: Andre Ward-Murdock Rejected By NSAC as Mismatch

[Hougigo]

Michael Yormark, President of Roc Nation:

Right now, Andre Ward is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world and they don't want nothing to do with him. I don't care what weight it is, I don't care what city it is, I don't care what country they fight in - they don't want nothing to do with the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. That's not on their agenda. They can continue to fight journeymen and protect his record and try to continue to build this invincibility aura that he currently has.

Triple G has fought journeymen for his entire career. It's obvious. We all know that. Andre Ward has fought the best of the best. Triple was at the top of his list. He was denied the opportunity to fight him in 36 minutes, so we've moved on. We'll be announcing our plans in the very near future, as to what Andre will be doing for the remainder of 2015 and in 2016. But we are moving on because we want to move forward and fight the best.

Pretty etherous, I must say.

slappin' soggy tries to drag a 168 lb fighter up to lightheavyweight for another easy win and the nevada commission shoots the whole thing down and this bum calls himself P4P best biggest fraud in boxing

[SN!PER]

So why wasn't Mayweather-Berto rejected?


You cant blame Andre Ward for being too good but can blame him(or his team) for cherry picking,

Money talks

[steeve steel]

The real problem is; What elite fighter fights Ward for 300 000? ... None. So next question; why isn't there more money for opponents? Because he is rebuilding his career. So why does a P4P king need to rebuilt his career? Because he was ****** and greedy.

andre berto: natural 147 lber, interim wba champion, former wbc and ibf world champion, holds wins over five fighters who held world titles at some point in their careers, has headlined seven (or so) televised cards

rohan murdock: fights in the division below ward, has never fought out of australia, is not even the best australian fighter in his division, has only beaten one former titlist or opponent of any note - manny siaca, who won a split decision over anthony mundine back in 2004

see the difference?

Huge difference, absolutely!
Well it's not looking too good for Ward as of now. Commissions should impose these regulations more often.

It's amazing how the bar is set so high for American fighters but is set so low for the Eastern Euro fighters. It's almost like they want to see the American fighters fail and the Eastern Euro fighters to succeed. One can trace this all the way back to HBO and now the NSAC.

I didn't want to post on threads like these, but I had to reply to this dumb post.
You do know that Eastern Euros step up and fight good competition within their first Ten fights, right?
Eastern Euros are so protected that they themselves choose to fight good competition within their first Ten fights and first Two years of being pros, but they are soooo protected. GTFO with that crap.

for example, dmitry bivol's opponent for his next fight, which will be just his 5th since turning pro, is tougher than anyone ward wants to face lol

[Nights King]

Berto was an actual ranked contender with championship level experience. As ****ty as Berto was, he's been in big fights and isn't some kid with no experience. There are amateur fighters with better experience than this Murdock kid and yet it's ok for him to face the so-called lbs/lbs best?

Fights like Salka and Zerafa are worse than journeyman level fighters. They're not only much lesser skilled than their opponent, they also lack the experience to defend themselves.

No one should in their right mind should entertain such fights.

[Nights King]

Yeah both those fights should have been shunned, you don't want these young kids getting hurt just because the guy who has bigger plans wants to tune up on beating crap out of some unexperienced, mismatched opponent.

Exactly, they'll literally spoil a fighters career.
