Brand wasn't the first choice by a long shot.

They asked one of your Russian heroes Shambransky and he wanted no parts.

Ward turned down Shabranskyy.

Don't be shocked, Wards contract had 2 tuneups. They wouldn't be showing this otherwise, see Paul Smith

That's interesting considering that Ward didn't fight Abraham or Froch at the Oracle and he's fighting Kovalev at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. What that simply means is that Ward only fought Kessler at the Oracle which only equals 1 out of his 4 toughest opponents were fought at the Oracle.....unless of course you count Sakio Bika. (However I don't)

How old is Brand? Ward couldn't find a better tune up? Kovalev in the future or not, I wish these kind of fights weren't approved. I'm sure Brand needs the compensation. But man....c'mon.
