Virgil Hunter on why Ward is fighting Brand next

[therealpugilist]

[just the facts]

I'm a huge Ward fan, but this is a garbage fight. There are 3-6 light heavys that would've been a better choice. This better lead t Kovalev fight or last chance for Ward.

[SterlingStained]

sorry but this is some bull****.


Look at all the legendary fighters of yesteryear,

when they moved up a division after already establishing their star power and greatness,

they fought the sharks right away. Duran, Pacquiao, Camacho, Arguello, Armstrong they didnt do this multiple tune ups vs scrub competition the way ward is doing.

Son of God????

More like Son of a B*tch.

[Ray Corso]

There are fighters throughout history who are faced with fighting lesser talents because other fighters will not step up!
Those are the facts and it's part of the business that the average fan has no knowledge of!
Ward will fight Koval but in the mean time he needs to go through another training camp and another bout leading up to the Koval match up.
Boxing is progressions on top of progression.

As long as he fights Kovalev I don't care who he fights in the meantime.

[BrometheusBob.]

hahaha yeah I'm sure Alexander Brand was the best they could do


Why even try to explain this doodoo, most people are going to look over it anyway. We're really just waiting for Ward/Kov.

King ComicDon on why TheRealIdiot is a is bish: Because he'll let Ward and Floyd tag team him if it meant he'll be able to wash their underwear afterwards.

You agree friend?

All true but WHY a smaller man, instead of a LHW?

They offered the fight to light heavies but they didn't accept. Weird about the kid from Germany though, how that fight was all but signed until they were allegedly told Vada testing would be implemented then they backed out
