Andre Ward vs. Alexander Brand

[TitoFan]

Ward is compounding his crass inactivity with now picking absurd opposition for his fights.
As far as I'm concerned, he's fast fading from boxing's consciousness.

F*ck Andre Ward.

[Primo Carnera]

Wow! where to start. I've gone on record many times to say how I admire Ward as a commentator and he seems like a really nice bloke.
I also admire Ward's ability and that he's potentially the best Boxer on the planet post Floyd. But the very fact that we have to use the word "Potential" for a guy in his mid 30's who has been hands down the best in his division for years and years tells us everything we need to know .
I though that the Paul Smith fight was the one to "Blow off the cobwebs", do they need blowing off again? why are his people chasing meaningless mismatches forcing guys to go up in weight at 3 weeks notice? Why does he have to piggy back onto the Cotto - Canelo fight ? can he not make a card off his own back?
I really want the guys on this forum who slag GGG off just because they are Ward lovers to explain exactly what the fuck is going on here.
please do not use the old "it's his management, or promoters Blah,Blah," because he's changed that team and it's still the same old shit so you have to go to the common denominator.
I get really angry with this guy because I really can't think of anyone who is completely wasting his talent as much as he is.
Still , I suppose he's slowly building to the Kovalev fight in 12 months time that's taking place in Never, Never Land!

no fan will be happy, nobody in the boxing business will take anything from it, ward will not gain anything in the ring by in skill or experience

counter productive more than anything

Its hard to make excuses for the supposedly best fighter in the world but as already mentioned these first two fights are shaking off the rust and then he gets down to business.

Ward really needs to make waves and get another ko or tko in this bout...bring on kovalev
