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

[-PBP-]

Why is the p4p man afraid to fight anywhere but Oakland ???

Doesn't make sense

Are you going to by up all of the tickets in a neutral location? If not then stop crying.

At first its "Ward has no fans. He can't draw."


Then when he fights in the only place where he can draw its "Why does he always fight at home?"

Dudes don't know what the hell they want. And why do Pac fans hate Ward? Am I the only one noticing this?

I don't think Ward expects Brand to prepare him for the Kovalev fight tactically, but I do think he would like to get a clean win where he feels like himself doing it. This is his first time fighting a consecutive fight within a year in a long time, it should serve him well to have another focused camp and take this fight ahead of November.

I think he'd ideally like to put on a masterclass and/or get a knockout win so he can head to Kovalev in a strong place mentally.

Ward vs. Kovalev is still the best thing on the 2016 schedule, let's hope both guys turn in strong performances leading into it.

I don't expect any spoilers, but you never know.

Brand and Chilemba are solid fighters...

I don't have any issue with either of these fights for Kovalev or Ward. I would say both are fighting solid, respectable fighters. However this fight will tell me if Ward will be ready or does he truly need another fight before Kov. I wouldn't be surprised if Ward and Kov don't fight till the summer.

because GGG fans are mostly disgruntled Matthyssee and Pac fans who were disappointed they lost their biggest fights to fighters they trash daily

sucks to be them

ward was a threat to GGG at 168, so they are critical of ward because GGG critics, critique his resume.....its only right considering these same posters trashed mayweather...a guy who ended his career fighting 15 world champion back to back, yet hype a good but unproven at the highest level GGG


they just are upset they look like hypocrites

[The Hammer]

Alexander Brand is nearly age 40, he's an old super-middleweight journeyman with a predictable style. Ward didn't want to fight Shabranskyy (who just wanted the same pay as Barrera received) or any other legit top ten LHW.

Crafty top ten light heavyweight Isaac Chilemba is a much better fighter than Brand (bigger and much younger too), and his excellent defensive skills will help Kovalev prepare for Ward.

Wow!! Ward continues to unimpress me. But he has a good plan; make as much money as possible as he knows he will be an invalid after Kovalev destroys him.

Could you be any more of an idiot?

[Crazylegs77]

Ward won the super 6. Let me remind you what this means. Some of you seem to forget.

1) Hes the best, he did it.
2) He is #1-2 P4P in any division he competes in even if he remains inactive for years, no matter what opponent he fights for the rest of his career.

^^^
I posted this earlier in the thread....no excuses..come in sharp, thats the goal

they are trying to find something to complain about because people trash GGG's competition so they see Ward is fighting Brand so they like " see look who wards fighting!!" while totally ignoring the man has fought elite level fighters and will be fighting arguably the best 175er in the world in november

while their hero will be fighting " muh mandatory doe"...."they ducking doe!!!"....." he scared he priced himself out doe"....translation: He wont be fighting anyone elite.

Ward skills are legit and his haters are shocked every time he gets mentioned
