Comments Thread For: Andre Ward vs. Alexander Brand Officially Revealed By Roc Nation

[Ake-Dawg]

You should work as a press secretary for a politician with this post LOL. Nice spin.

I've got no beef with Ward staying busy and getting the payday which he is contractually owed by HBO in exchange for his agreeing to the Kovalev fight in November.

In fact I hope Ward's strategy here is to pull up a smaller guy and try to knock him out since that would help hype up the PPV showdown with Kovalev—a fight which *richly deserves* attention from the casual fans (and impressive KOs help to generate that).

Now that you can see I'm not trying to hate on Ward, let's be real. Chilemba is a very good light heavyweight with a respectable résumé ... but comparing Chilemba to Brand??? Let's not go overboard here lol!!

What makes Chilemba "very good" as opposed to decent or respectable?

You pecker riders always siding with the guys who never fight the big fights so you can fantasize about how great they are without any real proof. Look man, it doesnt matter how weak you are or how many L's youve taken in the game of life, what matters is that you deal with them head on and stop dreaming up heroes and fantasizing about Andre coWard showing up at your 20 year high school reunion next month and beating up all your childhood bullies then scrubbing your doodoo streaked tighty whities on his abs while he ****s your suicidal, disappointed, depressed wife.

Ahh ha ha. Exactly, you can't argue that GGG or Kovalev has a better resume than WARd (and its not even kinda close) so you have to pop-off and show your b1tch ways. I can see you're a real winner in the game of life. Just relax kiddo, Kovalev will get whipped by Ward in due time. And its just too bad that GGG wants absolutely nothing to do with the Son of God, as the result is a foregone conclusion of GGG's aura of invincibility.

What are you doing with a real fighter like JT for an avatar while supporting fakes like Andre coWard and bad mouthing the Undisputed, undefeated Middleweight Champion of the World and JT's lineage, Gennady "The African Assassin" Golovkin? Take that avatar down and put Fraud Pedcheater Jr up there instead.

You know what sucks about GGG and Kovalev fans? Just like Pacquiao fans, they make people dislike great fighters. I like watching Kovalev and GGG, and I think they're great fighters, but you obnoxious, trolling, d1ck-riding, bandwagon fans make it difficult to enjoy their work. I just can't wait for the tears and excuses to flow once Ward beats Kovalev, so I'm guilty of playing along.

Ahh

Youre a chronic peter puffer. Can't even read all that nonsense because it only takes 2 lines to realize you are failing at trolling just like you failed the game of life.

There is no way Ward is going to actually go through with the Kova fight... Ward hasn't fought a decent opponent since he drained a washed up Dawson... This opponent here will drive his own cab to the arena come fight night.

I guarantee Ward gets "injured" in this fight or in training camp...

If I can find somewhere in Vegas to take my action, I'd make that bet right now...

Pick your favorite adjective, I don't particularly care. The point I was making is that Chilemba is a Top-10/Top-15 contender at Light Heavyweight. He drew with Bellew once (could have easily been twice), has a win over dangerous punchers like Edison Miranda & Denis Grachev. He's a lot better than your typical "stay-busy opponent" and will be a good name on Kovalev's résumé if Kovalev manages to beat him (and especially if Kovalev stops him, as Chilemba has never been stopped).

I like how the writer tries to boost up Brand, like he is an actual LHW. The man has never fought a full pound over the SMW limit, but somehow, somebody thinks this will be good prep for Kovalev
