      No, ESPN boxing needs that weekly dose of strained "HEH HEH HEH!!!", so they are probably going to keep him.

        I agree. It's better to have two commentators who differ in opinion at times. You don't want three guys saying the same thing all the time just to be PC. In boxing, there are often varying opinions that can hold truth depending on how you're looking at a fight.
        Let the fans decide what's happening and who has insight instead of just three lemmings who copy each other verbatim.

          I used to dislike Ward mainly due to his excessive holding but the way he came back in the 2nd half of the first Kov fight and the way he fought in the rematch really impressed me and as a commentator/pundit he's one of the best there is.
          Well done, 'Irish' Andre Ward.

            Bradley is not a bad analyst, but that gratuitous strained laughter of his is unbearable.

              This is a great choice. Ward was the one who openly said that Crawford was clearly dropped and wasn't showing up against Kavaliauskas, so he's unbiased. That's who they need in there.

              As someone stated above, I don't always agree with Ward... but I do think he does a good job.

              I really appreciated when he was speaking facts about Kavaliauskas dropping Crawford.

                  Awful commentator, literally every point he makes is about him, and his career. And he cant even call fights without being ridiculously bias to the point where its obvious he is just shilling.
