    Do they give Ward tickets away for free like they do Lara?

    Anyway, it's an okay fight. Would be better if Barrera wasn't stylistically tailor made for Ward.

    Will Andre suffer inflammation and pull out of the fight?

    Don't believe it until the first punch is thrown. Condre was cornered into this fight he really doesn't want.

    I've said it a few times before. If Ward steps in the ring with Barrera, I'll give him full credit, win or lose. I don't really like the guy as he's quite boring but credit should be where it's due.

    Here too, really didn't see ward taking this assignment. Possibly could really be for the kovalev fight, IF ward gets by barrera I'll be really impressed.

    This is truly the first A level talent ward will have fought. Many on here think (think clearly wrongly) froch was somehow an A level, in fact he was nothing more than a qtr level above Pasal, that's a fact that both aren't A level.

    That doesn't mean he couldn't compete with A level, just means he's not expected to beat any A level fighters. Sh!t, froch got tore a new ass by wards old bud, direll. Even direll lacked the chin and fighters heart to be A level. Too bad too, dude has A level talent.

    Wards supposed to be A+ level like fmj's type of level. Personally, I'm not convinced wards a true A level, barrera has A level talent. Know nothing of his chin or heart but if I can't find any proven negatives, I'm betting barrera and probably by stoppage.

    Ward and barrera are going to prove themselves, finally

    Good! All Andre has to do is get in there and look impressive, and all this can get put behind him.

    Where the hell did you get the idea that I'm old? Or that I like Cuban fighters? If you're going to stalk me and obsess over my every post at least get your facts straight you weirdo.

    Agenda? It's fact. Quigg v Frampton sold out in a minute. I know because I tired to buy tickets 5 mins after it went on sale.

    Now go and look at that web site. I bet there is plenty of tickets left for Ward's fight, and still will be this time next week.

    For the record I'd rather go see Frampton-Quigg over Ward-Barrera myself, and you're probably right, but why do you have to derail every thread with your trolling? The Professor relented and let you come back, and here you are pushing his patience trolling with your every post again.

    You're a good poster, for a while one of the better ones on here, yeah Americans we can be annoying, but rein it in and be the better man, and cool it with the nationalism, make a few Flyweight match threads like you used to.

    Should be a telling fight for both guys. Hopefully someone picks it up in the UK

    Good fight, but still a long way from now. Ward should have fought last November against a much better opponent. If Ward didn't waste his time trying to get a fight with GGG, he could have fought Issac Chilemba.

    Hunter likes to talk about his skills not slipping despite inactive. But a fighter only develops when he is in the ring fighting. All those years wasted suing his promoter, Ward could have developed as a much better boxer compared to when we last saw him against Paul Smith.

    Ward is going to need those two fights to prepare for Kovalev, because he will need to adjust to the LHW division.
