Comments Thread For: Sullivan Barrera: My Goal is To Knock Andre Ward Out!

[ShoulderRoll]

Barrera will not get a favorable decision with this fight taking place in Oakland. Ward's back yard and HBO has a vested interest in having Ward win, ergo if Barrera wins this fight it will have to be by KO or stoppage. Simple as that.

When has Andre Ward ever been the beneficiary of a favorable decision that he didn't deserve?

Name just one time.

You have been training with GGG so it should be easy

Good question. And the answer is never.
And I'm a Ward fan
BUT
He has definitely benefited from not losing points for bending the rules on holding way past breaking point.
This video of the Kessler makes the point very clearly.

Barrera will need 2 knockouts to win in Oakland

[Superbee]

So much hype for a guy who's best achievement was to beat a shot Karo Murat... Prediction: He's getting outboxed and eventually destroyed by someone who eventually won't meet any of the top 5 LHW (in which Barrera isn't)...

Just bought my tix!!! Wooooo!!!

yes I saw that.... did you see the same fight!? Cuz BOTH fighters got warnings.... especially rodriguez, who was constantly swinging wildly and then trying to lay on top of ward.

here's the full fight.... pause it at 3:35... you CLEARLY see rodriguez grabbing BOTH of ward's arms... that's how the fight went the whole way. BOTH guys doing the same ****....

but no... all ya dumbasses see is ward this ward that ward this ward that.

You're right, no question..... but I didn't have too much of a problem with his tactics in that fight.

Ward has got to expect that.

Ward had a superior skillset, why should Rodriguez fight Wards fight ?

It's up to the ref to control how the fight unfolds.

Ward can expect similar tactics from Barrera, especially later in the fight..... he has to deal with it.

That's bull****.

That is an old, inaccurate, whine.

Just like they have to deal with his style/tactics..... quickly, quietly, with no moaning, or crying

Luckily, Barrera sounds like a fighter, no need for the waambulance.

waaah oakland, waaah headbutts, waaah he hugged me
