Comments Thread For: ESPN Re-Signs Andre Ward To Multi-Year Deal As Expert Analyst

[just the facts]

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.

Now if we just can drop Bradley we'll be doing alright

It always leads back to Crawford with you. Why? What’s with your negative obsession with Crawford?

Bradley's not that bad, he is the company guy though. He brings some funny animation without going over the top Atlas.

I like Ward but he was terrible during Ramirez-Postol. He was totally shilling, I worry he’s sold his soul to TR/ESPN.

You beat me to saying the exact same thing. The early rounds were close but he had Ramirez 5-0 up and many had Postol clearly up. It sounded like he changed his mind mid sentence like he was told to say Ramirez would win

How? he kept trying to say the fight was close last weekend and Ward kept shutting him down saying Ramirez was winning easily...clearly Ward is the company man.

Bradley is a terribile commentator but at least hes endearing and makes you laugh at times, whereas Ward has no redeeming qualities & just comes across as an egotistical d ickhead.

He was right about the fight. He said it would not be an easy fight unlike TB said.

Outside of Ward the rest SUK!!! Bring back Paulie Mag.

[STREET CLEANER]

I like Ward announcing the fights.

They got to get rid of Bradley.

Paulie is still the best in the business when it comes to announcing fights.

I think Ward has gotten at better as a commentator I think he’s really starting to flourish. I’m actually starting to like ESPN in general for fights I just fell like they’re missing something. Maybe they could bring in Roy the unofficial scorecard role, or let Kellerman take Kriegals spot. (Kriegals way too much of a company man) Timmy is alright he’s gotten better, I wouldn’t miss him if they replaced him though
