Great fight to see how his body adjusts to light heavyweights, somebody from the lil g task force going come along and say barrea a bum now

Now, please remember the people who accused Ward of Ducking, don't back down and try to water down Barrera as an opponent for Ward...YOU SAID HE WAS DUCKING!

[Irony123]

thank god, i was hoping it wasn't going to be another 168 lbs. Barrera is good test for Ward at LHW. glad to hear it was made.

HBO really needed a fresh/solid match-up for the first half of 2016. I'm looking forward to this and Abraham/Ramirez the most.

When you look at the true chronological timeline it really didn't take any longer than usual.

Not as bad a Porter/Thurman... they were talking about that since August... and that fight was just announced last week

Slow down, forum dorks. Let's not get excited until Ward's actually in the ring. Man ain't exactly the most reliable when it comes to showing up for fights, what with his regular 'injuries'.

Nsb time line:

-ward trying to fight a bum
-ward ducking Barrera
- now ward fighting a bum again

Exactly what is going to happen

lol, all these posters so obsessed with GGG fans that they already writing the script of how GGG fans will come here and bash Ward... don't worry most of us GGG fans aren't like you GGG haters. i criticize Ward for ****** **** he does, however i don't expect Ward to go to 175 and fight Kovalev right away and this opponent is great test for Ward, in fact i am super psyched for this fight.

good measuring stick for ward. nice to see him in a real fight again

Agreed -- should tell us a lot. I'm not bowled over by Barrera but he brings size, pop and a little skill to the table. And he should be hungry.
