Andre Ward vs. Alexander Brand

[PK3434]

Horrible matchup but slightly better than some of the other losers he was considering.

But I don't care. This fight is when everyone will be loading up on drinks. Nobody will watch this ****

[Jc8804]

According to Dan Rafael, Alexander Brand has been accepted by both fighters and by HBO as Andre Ward's Nov 21 opponent.

Super middleweight Alexander Brand Monsalve of Columbia is age 38 and has fought one good opponent in his career: Badou Jack, who he lost to a few years ago.

Andre Ward will have him go up from 168 to 175 for this fight.

Does he have a chance?

Is this a mismatch?

Why didn't Ward choose a light heavyweight, why make Brand move up in weight?

Im against this. Agnew was at least anrealnlt heavyweight.

This move a super middleweight up looks weak. .this dude isnt even top 25 at 168

What a joke

[From Russia]

haha, dragging SMW bums to LHW. Great, thats what p4p fighters do.

[Nights King]

how can they even guarantee that ward will fight kovalev? ok he does the first 2 figths and collects 4 million and then.....promotional dispute time! or injury time! i'm calling it now this fight won't happen. if it does props but its still a compete disgrace that he needs 3 tune ups against smaller guys

You won't take a ban bet doe

i need 3 tune ups first

At 168...
And this guy is two inches shorter than coWard.

Another super easy fight.

GGG makes their opponents look easy, but at least they are top10 contenders. coWard is fighting nobodies.

coward Nice touch!

Great, more internet heroes calling fighters cowards....Ward just completed a deal to face one of the most feared fighters in boxing. Someone even more dangerous than the invincible GGG. How exactly does that make him a coward?

[SN!PER]

[The Hammer]

Well, their other fight fell through, so this guy was found on short notice.

This is his first fight at 175, no big deal. But next fight must be competitive.

HBO approved Agnew, but Ward turned him down.

[MDPopescu]

so this is at full LHW, no catchweights?

BN24 reports that:

"#7 WBC Schiller Hyppolite was reportedly another name that was rejected by the Nevada Commission as a potential opponent for Ward."

(...) "Alexander Brand is expected to fight Ward at either 175 or at a catch-weight above 168."

... Murdock, Hyppolite... It seems that, lately, the Nevada Commission had a tough job to undertake.

... Catchweight is possible, according to BN24...

"#7 WBC Schiller Hyppolite was reportedly another name that was rejected by the Nevada Commission as a potential opponent for Ward."

Why is Ward targeting super middleweight journeymen?

Why not light heavyweights?
