Comments Thread For: Andre Ward-Sullivan Barrera Being Finalized For March 26

[tredh]

good measuring stick for ward. barrera seems a solid fighter, but if ward can't handle him comfortably then he's in a world of trouble against kovalev

Triangle theories are no good

Imagine that, ward saving HBO from all the mismatches they have lined up for 2016 lol

lmao this ain't like an even match but I feel you on that. This fight is actually pretty good and HBO got a lot of doodoo in place for 2016 so far.

Good fight if it finally signals an end to Ward's inactivity. Tough fight for Barrera but it will be interesting at least.

goodluck on the finish..duva's a bit of a joke and will do seemingly watever to get her fighters name out there only to get him in the easier fights...ward cant afford that at this point..he'd have the right to point the finger put he needs to be punching with his glove instead much more..

Good fight, no matter how you look at it. Testing waters with a bigger and undefeated fighter is a good thing.

Could have been better? Yes, but as the thing are un LHW, Barrera is a good fight, rooting for him, the underdog.

If this gets made and the fight happens I'll stop with the criticism. It is exactly the kind of test Ward needs in early 2016 if he intends fighting Kovalev at end of this year.

Can't resist a bit though - why Oakland? Get used to fighting away from home as there is no way the Kov fight would happen in Oakland.

If it's in Oakland and Ward is the clear A side, I have a feeling there might be a catchweight imposed. But I hope Ward fights at 175 for once.

They are until they aren't - that's to say that triangle comparisons often serve some purpose

Good to see one reasonable person left on nsb, look at the rest of the lil g brigade talking trash as if they guy fighting top of the line opponents but he had a belt doe.... Rank top 20 mw doe... Guys are pathetic your dude ran from his true test to unify a $h1tty division and suck cinnamon off until he finally agrees to give him that 155 cw fight

Good fight. Although I will wait until til I see both actually in the ring before I get excited.
