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

[Eff Pandas]

("No contest" included)...

NC included? Whatcha mean?

To me the fight starting on November 19 = I win. W, KO, NC, DQ or ND don't matter.

WTH?????

i thought he was signed on to fight kovalev????

another freaking tune up????


look at all the great legendary fighters of the past, when they moved up,

THEY FOUGHT THE BEST.

Duran, Pacquiao, Armstrong, Robinson, Oscar, Camacho, Arguello, they went right in with the sharks.

but ward?

Nope, needs multple tune ups just to fight in a division that he was an amateur in vs absolutely horrible competition.


and he calls himself the son of god????

more like son of a b*tch.

Also, please refrain from comparing that no name Cuban to Froch and even Dawson.

I think Barrera has a lot of potential, the thing is Andre Ward makes even great boxers of Froch caliber look like bums, and he did the same thing to Barrera

Why I can't compare Barrera to Dawson? Matter of fact, I think that comparing Dawson to Barrera is a kind of an insult to Barrera. Dawson is the biggest joke I've seen in boxing, I wouldn't even refrain from comparing him to all bums, cab drivers, bartenders and pizza delivering guys in pro boxing

For me the scalp of young and hungry undefeated prospect with solid amateur career and strong punch like Barrera has higher value than scalp of some beaten guy who's known for his mental instability and glass jaw. At least Barrera went full distance with Ward like a man and he wasn't begging the referee to stop the fight like Dawson. There's no question that Barrera/Ward was more competitive fight than Ward/Dawson.

A supposed p4p top 10 guy shouldn't be fighting prospects.

You want the boxer to fight top names after such a long time of inactivity? That wouldn't be fair to him and that wouldn't be fair to other boxers in the division. He was supposed to prove that he deserves fighting top names in a new weight class by beating a good prospect and that's exactly what he did

Both Cleverly and Brand are crap.

Both Ward and Kov had their tune ups and neither were injured. The fight is good to go so why as a fan do you defend more tune ups?

I'm not defending anything.

Both Ward and Kovalev have one more fight before facing one another.

Just don't be mad at Ward.
