Andre Ward offers Marco Antonio Periban a HBO-televised fight

[ramplamp]

Ward needs to sign with Haymon since he already has the Haymon fighter mentality. More money for less work. The quintessential Haymon guy if ever there was one.

Anyway, Periban is a step forward as compared with Murdock or Brand...

He was knocked out in round 3 by DeGale.

What's more pathetic is that Ward is having him move up from 168 to 175.

Why not choose a real light heavyweight opponent?

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

That's a weak fight.

well thats what ward is all about.

He gonna low ball everyone so he can get the "tune ups" he wants.

he turned down bute, refuse to fight dirrell, fought a 7 pounds weigth drained dawson etc etc

Michael Woods makes **** up on a daily basis.

Ward is slowly building himself in the 175 division... Like Canelo at 160... and they both wait for those Russians to somehow vanish from the landscape...

No, he's very reliable.

He writes for several websites including ESPN and The Ring.

Man, I've been thinking about the GGG-Ward-Kovalev love triangle. Why didn't Ward take a fight at PBC one time only with Degale, Jack or Dirrell and then build to a GGG fight. That fight was totally makable unless Ward couldn't make 168 anymore. If Ward waited and fought a good fighter again, then he could've negotiated a fight with GGG at PPV. Instead of this limbo that he is in now where Kovalev wants to fight Stevenson and GGG wants Canelo, and Ward is sitting around with bums to fight and no hype around him.

This isn't a bad fight. Let Ward live his life, damn.

He is yet another 168 pound boxer Ward will have move up in weight to 175.

LMAO.......see, I called it. Said he lowballed Gonzalez and would then try to drag up another 168 pounder. What a complete load of crap, dude is a total fraud.

Ward's got a very telling pattern of behavior and it surprises the hell out of me that some people refuse to acknowledge it.
