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

[mike1010011]

5 of Rupert's 19 fights have taken place above the SMW limit. 2 of those 5 have taken place above the LHW limit.

Ok I'll play this game. Let's look at those 5's record.
2-9-1
3-28-0
14-11-3
14-12-3
2-15-0
Damn,you're right pigeons,what am I saying?/with the level of opposition that this kid has faced above 168,its clear that ward would have been a cake walk for rohan. Are we sure that they didn't reject this fight,just so that Andre ward wouldn't take a beating?

Hoping this is just an off TV card now because it's B.S that a better fight in Cab/Haskins will probably bee off TV so Ward can have this fight.... but Ward needs to build up that exposure again for the PPV because they're gonna need some help next year

As I said in Tunney's thread about this, good. Fight was horse shit.

The NSAC let Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. fight a 1-15 opponent in his 50th fight, back in 1986.

So I'm not really ready to give them an atta boy over this.

That was Chavez Sr, he had pull.

Is this guy that bad? LSC used to fight taco seller on Floyd's undercard.

LSC's opponent before Mares was the toughest insurance salesman I ever seen.

Bumlovkin has been fighing bums since he started his career lol...ward has no choice,if bumlovkin steps up and stops ducking then ward would be ready..and trust me it wouldn't even be a fight..ward would outclass the cherry picking Kazakhstani hype job very easy

So... that means he's never fought at LHW?

ggg's fought 7 top 10 opponents in the last 3 years. ward 1. ggg also has tried to fight everyone good in his division. ward has ducked them all(bute, stevenson, froch, degale)

Why does ward need Another tuneup anyway?

Its not like people don't know who Ward is, they just don't care about him.

If he wants to create some hype, it's time to get back to fighting guys who are competitive against him. Because he's really not the kind of fighter who really impresses vs tuneups anyway.

At least Golovkin destroys the guys who are below him. Ward, not so much.

[Raonic]

Ward must be fuming right now.

However is he going to get ready for Kovalev now?

[Rich2123]

While Ward fans, correctly, could point out lots of other mismatches have been approved by the NSAC, I can't criticize them for the rare times they do something right. So good for them.

Now get a Karpency type for his opponent or get another fight. in the slot. I'm not expecting the world, I think it's asinine to expect someone, no matter how good they are, to take on one of the top guys in their division their first time they go up in weight. But let's make it a somewhat reasonable guy. This is supposedly going to be a the co main in the second biggest PPV of the year.
