Comments Thread For: Andre Ward vs. Alexander Brand, August 6th at Oracle Arena

[therealpugilist]

Ward has beaten world-class opponents, he has proven that he is elite.

Hypekin has NOT, he actually did the opposite..... he has walked away from the opportunity 2-or-3 times.

Grown men do not like being lied to, you will understand one day.

I will go with the proven vet, over the unproven hypejob.

^^^this....idiots act like his managerial issues, injuries, and surgeries had nothing to do with his inactivity 2013-2015

they been reaching for something to complain about but Ward keeps shutting them up.

Last year this time he was not fighting, is ward retired.....fast forward a yera and he'll already have 3 fights under his belt.....the 4th will be against the most dangerous boxer puncher in the sport

Ward has moved up in weight.....they make excuses why GGG hasnt or cant(some fools said I want to see him lose lol)

Ward has fought elite fighters before and is signed to fight the best 175er arguably in the world in november

who is GGG fighting? " bu bu they ducking doe...bu bu he wants to unify the division"...translation: we want to see him keep raking up wins vs non descript opposition and be handed other belts without fighting for them.

If Kovalev wasnt guaranteed to be next i'd **** all over this damn fight. Not sure how fighting a 39 year old super middleweight will help prepare him for Kovalev tho

thought they'd at least find a Barrera level guy or a little higher like a Cleverly or Alvarez

[BodiesInFlight]

Kovalev is signed for November so that will excuse all of this

Not in my book. One good fight should not excuse countless poor mismatches.

Boggles my mind how fans are cool with countless crap fights in the hope of one good fight at the end of the tunnel.

Exactly, nobody is ducking Ward here this Kovalev fight could have happened at any given time but Ward has held it off with him saying he needs three tune-up fights.

Ward fans kind of confuse me I just don't get how ****** they can be, they think Ward would happily fight GGG at any given time but here he is asking for three tune-up fights (wasting a year) to eventually fight Sergey Kovalev?

Ward is a grade-A liar and his fans well they're pretty dumb after all they're defending a guy who lost how many court cases?
So basically Ward is as idiotic as his fanbase.

They tried to fella.

Brand was not their first choice by a long shot..other guys were contacted but either turned it down or priced themselves out.

Cleverly and Erik Skoglund were approached but they either overpriced themselves or turned it down

Erik accepted...then backed out soon as he found out VADA testing was involved.

I honestly can't wait until HBO are completely out of the boxing business. What a joke they are.

where is GGG's one elite opponent....just 1......this dude has been very active the last few years, all for what.....his best win being Martin Murray lol...yea he has been knocking out murderer's row at 160


Ward has finally got those legal issues and surgery out the way....has fought twice, one coming up in august and the big one in november...He fought elite fighters before and will be fighting THE MAN at 175 this year.

all the while GGG fans will continue to use the same excuses when the next no name or "mandatory is lined up" been using the same excuses for 3 years...."they ducking doe"...."bu bu bu he is trying to unify"


literally the dudes biggest wins are in the board room.....he won one title in the ring and the others were handed to him.....those are his two biggest career wins....in a board room

...but the opponent being a mandatory does?

A mismatch is a mismatch.....Ward vs Bland is a mismatch....GGG vs wade was a mismatch.....GGG has never fought an elite opponent so why act like you're upset about Ward's opponent....Dont remember anyone saying a thing about GGG fighting "House Arrest" Wade

difference is Ward moved up a division, won all his title in the RING at 168, and will be fighting the people's champ at 175 in Kovalev this year

all the while GGG fans are prepared to defend the next mis-mandatory, crap on the decent fighters who do call him out like Lara and eubank, then K2 settles on a no name we have to google...rinse, wash, repeat and you'll eat it up...its been 34 fights and this guy has never fought an elite opponent...its pathetic

Yet you have one on your AV.

Camacho attempted to couch his remarks, by saying "Excuse me, if there's any blacks here, OK?", then said, "African-American has their behavior (sic), and then you got n----- behavior. You know? And that's the behavior that Mike Tyson has around his entourage and it scares people away, his no class."
