Andre Ward vs. Alexander Brand

[MDPopescu]

Why is Ward targeting super middleweight journeymen?

Why not light heavyweights?

You ask me why? How should I know?...
... Ward is stubborn -- he maybe didn't rule out that Golovkin fight for good. Anyway, it would be better than fighting Kovalev.

Urgh...

I'm calling it right now, I think Ward relies heavily on his size advantage over opponents and right now I think he is worrying about that being a no longer relevant advantage for him at 175lbs.

[Motivedia]

Brand should dismantle him, I hope, if Ward even fancies it.

GGG's competition is so weak doe

Brand > Lemieux doe

Brand last fought at 168 in Sept 2014, Ward fought at 172 in the mid 2015. Fight is in Nov 2015 at limit of 175.

How much do you think these guys will actually weigh in at? I think it's gonna be 174 Ward / 173 Brand. Ward has been training for an opponent for almost 2 mths (Aug), so he should have put on some muscle. Brand will just be an out of shape old guy whose extra weight will be more flab than muscle.

i need 3 tune ups first

If somebody took the time to make a Hitler Reacts video about this shit, I would probably die of laughter.

Rofl that's not a bad idea

... tbh, Ward fought Froch with only one hand (and even that hand got injured during the fight)... But, yes, that was a "mandatory" fight and Ward was not in the position to discard it.

Which size advantage are you referring to? His last two opponents didn't even make weight, he was the smaller man for those fights.

[mathed]

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

Exactly my thoughts!
