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

[Sweet Pea 50]

Wards fans don't even wanna offer up a few names at 175. Lmao

It's hard out here being a Ward fan right now.

What can I say?

I thought that Gonzalez would have been a great choice when Wards name was added to the card, but that has gone an went.

Bottom line, Ward and RocNation need to get their collective heads out of their asses, and fight a LHW, at LHW.

why or how in the world does ward have fans? the last 4 years he has turned down every big fight while trying to figth bums. how long does it take for you to turn on him? 5 years? 10 years? never? after all he did win the super six....

What was skipped? Andre Ward has been calling out a 160lber while cearly planning a move ti 175, instead of calling our kovalev .

He's planning a move to 175 because said 160lber doesn't want to ever step up and fight him.

His and Kovalev camps have been in talks, Kathy Duva says the fight is inevitable. Let the men battle it out whilst Little G becomes the tallest midget in the circus at 160.

Mismatch for sure, but so what? No titles at stake and Ward´s feather fists never ruined a fighter.

ruined the audience with his boredom

Want to know the difference between a boxing fan and a fanboy?

Fanboy -

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

Boxing Fan -

It was a pointless fight. I only wish they'd take a stand like this more often.

Murdock would have been way out of his depth. It's not the biggest mismatch ever, but it's definitely a mismatch.

[Sweet Pea 50]

1986?? You cite a mismatch from 29 years ago??

Newsflash: over the course of 3 decades, standards can evolve........

Point went over your head.

The NSAC has a long history of letting perceived mismatches slide, and they still let some currently.

Salka fight was in the state of New York, not Nevada.

no i meant in the sport in general, not just nevada. has a mismatch ever been stopped from happening?

Ward's team said all along that he is fighting 2-3 tune ups.
I've said this multiple times on this forum.
Do you understand now that Ward was never going to fight anybody good this year and the first half of 2016?

No I don't understand, its pointless and it accomplishes nothing.

This isn't some young fighter on his way up still trying to make a name for himself. Dude is a vet and a top pfp fighter.

One that doesn't sell and that isnt the most exciting. This tuneup stuff is a waste of everyones time.
