Comments Thread For: Andre Ward-Murdock Rejected By NSAC as Mismatch

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Australian super middleweight contender Rohan Murdock (18-1) has missed out on a lucrative opportunity. The boxer was being lined up to face Andre Ward as part of the Miguel Cotto-Saul Alvarez HBO Pay-Per-View on November 21 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

The boxer's team, CDL Boxing, have informed local reporters that the Nevada State Athletic Commission refused to sanction the fight, according to the Western Australian.

WooooooW.....

NSAC rejecting a fight because it's a mismatch? When's the last time that happened?

Man, Wards fall from grace has hit a all time low.

Hey ward,I hear that geale is moving up to 168. Why don't you just drag him all the way up to 175?

[Hougigo]

Sucks for Murdock, but yea....

[Beercules]

Would've been helluva fight.

He was trying to bring a 23 year old kid with 19 fights up one weight class to fight. It's good they rejected it.

Ward should be fighting better tune-ups. Nadjib Mohamedi or Tommy Karpency are tune-ups for Ward.

ward is p4p #1! remember what he did 4-6 year ago everyone! ignore what he's doing now trying to fight mismatches and bums remember what he did 4-6 years ago!

Good. Now I wouldn't be surprised if Ward tried to bring Geale up as a possible opponent.

Barcham said that the only rankings that matter are the belt rankings. Murdock was #6 on WBO. SMFH, this guy deserves justice. He is the WBO's #6 best fighter and he's a mismatch for Andre Ward. Imagine if GGG vs Adama, Monroe Jr, Ishida happened in Las Vegas, would the NSAC have rejected them as mismatches as well?

they'll do the same with GGG-Andre Ward.

Ward Too good for Golovkin, mismatch
