Exactly WHO is Alexander Brand?

[M Bison]

At least Brand isn't a WW.

No true at least Brand is a nobody with no decent wins on his resume bit like Ward.

[DoktorSleepless]

From what I remember, Shabransky wanted the Ward fight, but apparently 'priced himself out' by asking for $300k, which is what Barrera got. That is NOT pricing himself out. That's a low ass purse to get vs. a P4Per on HBO.

Budget aside, there are very few willing and available fighters to face Ward. That is just fact. As for Shabranskyy, he was offered the fight per Golden Boy and the Ward camp and turned it down. I was told he asked for more than double the available HBO money for the entire bout.

oh and sorry i forgot to answer the question. FYI Alexander Brand is a 39 year old bum from columbia. P.S you arent allowed to criticise brand because hes andre wards opponent, americas golden boy who can do no wrong

[mathed]

he was a beast in Columbia, no easy fight for anyone

The guy that Valdez just fought was a beast in Argentina too, lol.

[juandabomb]

just look up the badou jack vs brand on youtube...then you'll be like "dam this dude sucks"

[The Hammer]

Brand was not the first choice....he was just the only guy to take the fight.

That Russian Shabransky wanted no parts.

No. Ward didn't really want to fight him.

Shabranskyy's management said they'd take it for the SAME PAY Barrera received.

Brand was the only guy broke and desperate enough to take small pay to fight on HBO. He has nothing to lose.

I don't ****ing know

Who is Alexander Brand? Only the greatest Colombian super middleweight of all time. You must tune in on August 6 because this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness such greatness. This once in a lifetime opportunity. You may never get to see Brand fight again.
