Nevada Commission says "no" to the Rohan Murdock vs. Andre Ward mismatch

True.

Looks like it will be age 38 super middleweight journeyman Alexander Brand, who started boxing at age 32. Ward will have him move up to 175.

Another SMW. Strange choice.

LMAO....... I swear it keeps getting better with each potential opponent. Ward is a clown, dude should retire already. Quit wasting both time and space.

Truax, Sartison, Dunn, Murdock, Brand looked at, while Rodriguez and Smith have been faced. It's been a strange few years of late for Ward.

So what. Look at Buck Smith's record...see how much that fool was boxing per year. And that guy got scandalized for accepting rigged fights. Classic fall down guy sniper journeyman, and ironically, was part of Chavez's resume after the Whittaker fight...

Plus you're agreeing on the circumstances that if you'Re a big star you can do what you want...

I see that radar!

Nothing to do with being a big star. If Ward was more active then he's allowed to have a few tune ups between big fights.

[Hype job]

Maybe he just lost a step or two.

I have come under fire from many Facebooker's for saying Andre Ward is shot, even to the point of former amateur standout Eric Kelly mentioned my name in his Facebook post. Kelly even asked me "what's your connection to boxing" which made me really laugh. In watching Andre Ward, I saw a guy in there with a 70-1 underdog, not looking like he did when we last saw him 19 months ago. He was slow, pushed his punches, and didn't overall look good to me, including his body not looking "tight and right" I've always been a big believer of Andre Ward, including picking him to win the Super 6, but that was then this is now, and "now" is not going to be as kind to Ward as ''then was" Many, in wanting to believe that they were still witnessing greatness in Ward, concluded "he's rusty, his timing was off" Timing is throwing punches and missing those punches, this was his lack of speed and pushing punches. Those aren't signs of being rusty thru inactivity, those are signs of being "past it" not what you were. 300 amateur fights, 11 years a pro, are catching up to Ward. I'd like to see it another way, but I don't. I'm a true professional, and I'm very honest, straightforward, and candid. My eyes didn't deceive me while watching Andre Ward Saturday night. I know what I saw, and what I saw was a "rapidly eroding Andre Ward" It's just one man's opinion.

[SplitSecond]

Andre Ward had 300 amateur fights?

[The Hammer]

Andre Ward had 300 amateur fights?

He had 119 amateur fights and was 114-5.

A PPV co-main spot is gonna be wasted on a mismatch. The card is less than a month away and they're still looking for a ****in opponent

[j0zef]

Where's that from, your quote?

The headline for Ward's fights "Bum Fights"
