Will be surprised if TO can make 168, even more surprised if he can trouble Ward. It's true that it's not a great opponent, but Ward wasn't going to face the toughest tier of opposition in his first fight back. As for why he picked TO, we all know that having an undefeated record and having been on TV before means you sometimes get opportunities like this.

Ward hasn't fought any live body for 3 and a half years, fights exclusively in his homecountry, fails to fight his mandos etc. And now he has made a depressed LHW an offer. You like it. I dont. I think it's lame.
Dirk is defending the indefensible...next Dirks goib to argue that Ward is the number 1 ranked Super middle, oh wait, he already did.....

Originally posted by BattlingNelson View PostHe turned down Kessler for starters. Secondly he is ordered to face Froch, so why the hell is he making an offer to a mentally ill LHW?
And why are you defending it? I cannot understand the crush you have on Ward.
I'm sure Ward has been looking for an opponent for a while now so Oosthuizen might have been scoped out a long time ago - before the situation with Froch and the WBA arose. The Froch fight is now obviously an option
I don't really care who Ward's comeback opponent is because there's going to be no one elite available for it (unless they agree the Froch fight) so Oosthuizen is fine.
It doesn't really matter, it's a throwaway fight to prepare for something bigger. Ward will be back and you'll continue to cry about those dreams of yours he shattered.

Originally posted by BattlingNelson View PostSince you clearly dont follow boxing very closely, then let me reveal that it was actually Andre Ward himself.
So you are claiming that the Oosthuizen offer was made before Froch was ordered? Well the article is newer, so it's not likely. Maybe you have a source to back it up?
Who is elite to you?
You are really an awful poster.
I assume you have a source to back up this Kessler fight offer?

Originally posted by Dirk Diggler UK View PostI'm not claiming anything. I'm using reasoning and logic. You have been blubbering for months that Ward wants too much money for tune-ups. Oosthuizen has probably been sounded out as a potential opponent for a while.

I'd say the reason they're interested in this fight is that unlike Sartison or Periban, Oosthuizen is probably HBO approved.

He was subsequently released by his promoter Rodney Berman, who cited the fact that Oosthuizen was at least 13 pounds over the 175 lb. limit for the bout; stating, "He's had so many chances and blown every one"Originally posted by kiDynamite92 View PostThe people who hate Andre Ward nowadays are just ****** supporters of Kovalev and Golivkin. If I was Ward I too could kick back for a few years and watch these two simmer before taking them apart. Mark my words, Ward will beat Kovalev and Golivkin if they ever meet and then people will be demanding that he moves up to cruiserweight.Last edited by Weebler I; 03-10-2015, 05:48 AM.

...
Ward needs to fight man, the notion that he could just drop back in and beat top active fighters is optimistic.
