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

[SugarRaRobinson]

I thought GGG was a bum? Isn't that what the haters are saying? If he's a bum then surely he will lose to any random fighter at 160, right?
Also, would GGG be allowed to have 3 tune ups when he moves up to 168 like Ward is having at 175? It doesn't seem like people are ok with letting GGG settle into the division, but it's ok for Ward. Double standards go BOTH ways.
Why is it that when a Eastern Euro/Central Asian fighter is the best in a division, it's considered weak. When Latinos are the best in their divisions it's a "weak" division, I wonder why that is.
The GGG-Ward could still happen. If Kovalev beats Ward, Ward will probably be forced to move down. Ward can't fight Haymon fighters, so Fonfara, Stevenson and Beterbiev are probably out of the question.

I respect your point of view.

I really can't speak on what the haters r saying , all I can speak for is my own views , which is that he's he levels above anyone in that division and has already fought the best there i.e. Murray and David . In addition , I've always stated that GGG should not fight Ward as his first fight at 168 , but rather should have at least two acclimation fights at the weight first as should Ward for Kov at 175 .

I maintain that all I want is the best fights , as I constantly watch extreme bias come from both sides . I also maintain Ward / GGG is the best fight to be made in boxing bar-none , so hopefully it will be .

Your prospective is always appreciated and welcomed also .

I wouldn't be shocked if the race-card is played on NSAC now LOL...

Everyone knows your MO , U and your buddies Lou Cipher , Progressive Jedi and Barcham are the 4 most unconscionable racist trolls on this entire site that do nothing other than troll all Black fighters , while exalting and defending the Euro based fighters . Reading your posts over the last few months made me realize that racism is as dumb as advertised , thx !

Was this any worse than Garcia-Salka?

Arguably. Murdock is younger, even less experienced and has never fought outside Western Australia.

Garcia vs. Salka should never have been allowed to happen.

Barcham said that the only rankings that matter are the belt rankings. Murdock was #6 on WBO. SMFH, this guy deserves justice. He is the WBO's #6 best fighter and he's a mismatch for Andre Ward. Imagine if GGG vs Adama, Monroe Jr, Ishida happened in Las Vegas, would the NSAC have rejected them as mismatches as well?

Rohan Murdoch is ranked #6 as a Super Middleweight, not a Light Heavyweight jac.kass. Stop reaching. Of course any chance you get to sht on Golovkin.

WBO rankings don't mean anything.

You just need to pay a sanctioning fee.

Andre Ward can't even fight a top 10 ranked fighter now? What the hell?

Andre Ward is such a joke now. This is the guy that people put as one of the best in the world? Andre Ward's career is one of the most overrated things I've ever seen in my life as a boxing fan.

Top ten in a lower division by a joke organization. Nobody with integrity would rank him in the top 20 at 68, and yet Ward wanted to fight him at 75. Don't be ridiculous.

Why is Ward picking these nobody's ??????

I can't believe it's fear ! But it's fear driven !! He is trying to make SURE he wins!!!!

168's are very limited he just needs to go to LHW and fight Fonfaro

He gets extra points for being a black American with a spoiling style.
