Alexander Brand is now back in play, pending commission approval, of course...

Right decision.

I don't understand how anyone could support such a disgusting mismatch from the so-called super middleweight champion.

Christ... Can't that bail Edison Miranda out of prison for a rematch?

How does fighting a 168lb Aussie Journeyman help prepare you for a fight with Kovalev?

maybe "fu ck sergey preparation, it will be easiest $2m ever"

At the very least he fought Badou Jack....but I don't understand why he's still trying to fight at SMW at LHW.

Okay, he's trying to ease into LHW, but why is he fighting low tier SMW's at LHW? Just fight low tier LHW's at LHW to ease in

Julio Cesar Chavez was fighting dudes every other month, but it's not like they were top tier, he just wanted the work. Now all of sudden new boxing trollers get all emotional about it?

That's the thing. Chavez was fighting dudes every other month, Ward is fighting every other year. If Ward was more active then a tune up like this would be more acceptable. If you don't want to fight quality then you have to fight quantity, if you don't want to fight quantity then you have to fight quality.

Alexander Brand Monsalve is a 38 year old super middleweight journeyman. He had a loss to Badou Jack three years ago.

He started boxing at age 32! He's had all but 2 of his fights in Columbia.

Andre Ward will have him move up to 175 for the fight.

This is another mismatch that makes Ward look bad, but it's not quite as disgusting as Ward-Murdock. I imagine the Nevada Commission will approve it.

One thing I can say about the PBC and Andre Ward also is that they are serving the masses and introducing fighters to us we never heard of. LOL

How do they even find these dudes?
