It's called a tune up fight, the man has been inactive for a while so cut him some slack jack. Lol Wow, something from the dark ages.
He's not my favorite guy to watch, but for those boxing purists, you know what I mean, the guys who think they're the only ones who really know what boxing is about, he probably makes 'em tingle all over.
He's a guy with the same boxing skills that Floyd has, but without Floyd's charisma. You'd think Andre would be very popular, but it seems that black folks just aren't into a quiet Christian black (or white or Mexican) man who is a boxer. If he threw money around like Floyd, or talked with a foul mouth like Broner, or had a few run ins with police he'd be more acceptable as a boxer and they would support him more.
Now the white folks like a quiet Christian black (or white or Mexican) man who is a boxer, but Ward just doesn't have that spark that excites. Imagine a Floyd without the attitude, Ali without his mouth, Tyson with his aggression, or Gatti without his heart. That's Ward, calm, cool, and collected. A quiet, efficient, technician in and out of the ring. In my opinion, of course. Lol
