[Tam Seddon]

Can only think its to shake off any ring rust...That's about it.

To start to shake of the ring rust

Sadness. For all his inactivity, Ward has never actually looked "rusty". He's also not the type of fighter who looks that much better against journeymen than he does against elite fighters, so he won't benefit from this type of gimme any way I can see.

He just might have some insecurities, he could of taken a few hits in the gym and doesn't want it to happen on the main stage.

That was the ring rust on his left leg. This is for his right leg.

Its sounding like a Kovalev showdown in 2016, so they wont put him in any risky fights till then.

I agree with this too. He's between a rock and a hard spot. No matter what he does, it looks wrong to somebody. The thing is, it's mostly his fault!

It also is giving Ward an opportunity to fight on a PPV card.

This is the first of a three fight deal with HBO. The third fight is Kovalev. I wonder if he'll actually fight a genuine 175 pounder in the second fight? Cautious inside and outside the ring, isn't he? Boring boring boring boring.

Alexander Brand has lost to Badou Jack interesting.
