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

[jqSide]

me either all promotions are guilty of it as well. ggg was even guilty of it no promotion is excluded from it. gbp pretends to be but when u look closer u realize underneath the surface most of their fighters are fighting ridiculous mismatches. hopefully the commissions keeps this up but we all know they wont

One of these days something tragic would happen because of these mismatches. The Salsa fight was probably the most notorious of them all and I thought Salsa won't be able to get up from that KO punch of Garcia. Sad part was they never learn and they gave him another Salsa in Malignaggi.

Just recently saw Quillin's ferocity in his recent mismatched fight. His opponent ended up on a stretcher. These Salsa fighters should be compensated properly if you ask me.

But seriously, Who are they getting on 4 weeks notice? We all know Andre has been training. This guy continually sabotages his career.

honestly im starting to wonder if roc nation can land him big fights i find it hard to believe ward is scared of anything

I think its more of Virgil Hunter who has always micro-managed his every move. Prior to the Super 6 he was babied very carefully (which is why I was never really a fan until after)

If you recall they wanted an easier fight than Edwin Rodriguez way back when but HBO forced that fight to happen and it was a near shut out. I just think his team overmanages risk.

Bad look for Ward. Trying to fight a guy so overmatched the commission rejected it?

augustuma, i guess

it shouldn't feature higher on the bill than miura-vargas or caballero-haskins, that would be an insult

Who the **** is Augustuma? Ward should stop to **** around and just fight Rod Salsa fo **** sakes

four fight novice dmitry bivol is actually taking on a tougher challenge in his next fight than andre ward apparently wants. at the very least ward should be looking at one of stevenson or kovalev's victims, although if i was the match maker i'd go for karo murat (x2 title challenger at the weight, ibf ranked, coming off a decent win). personally i don't think there's anything wrong with ward physically, he just wants money for nothing

Maybe he should stick to commentating then.

Ward wanted to fight a guy so bad that he got vetoed? Wow.

[b00g13man]

Good. That fight was a waste of time. Is it possible to get someone decent this close to the fight though?

[Eff Pandas]

NSAC trying to get some good attention or something. Seen way worse mismatches sanctioned (legit contenders fighting guys on impressive losing streaks or known quality fighters vs known ****ty fighters) in Nevada & other states. Not complaining with that much passion cuz this was for sure a bs fight for Ward & I'd love to see this happening on a much wider scale, but I've sen way worse sanctioned & I'm sure if I glanced over the last 10 or so Nevada cards could would easily find at least 3 worse mismatches.

[brick wall]

that says a lot if a corrupt org like nsac disapproves your opponent.
