    No problems with this opponent, but I see some people are overrating Barrera a bit. He's decent, but Ward should be able to deal wth him handily.

    Only Andre Fraud fans are overrating him to justify his cherry pick. Some mentally challenge patients even go as far as saying Barrera has his chance...

    For the first fight at full 175 limit, it is a good opponent. The question is if Ward really wants him or just seeking publicity again. As I mentioned, the offer was laughably low, so they didn't expect it to be accepted.

    Good fight, good name to have on the resume. Ward > anyone in 175lbs. He'll pull through this one.

    Not really, he's a CEREBRAL, primarily defensive fighter in the 175lb division, not an aggressive flyweight who is past it by the age of 32.

    Andre Ward will give us at least 6 years of ATG showings.

    Is he? Barrera's got some very moderate hype but he hasn't done much. He'll be a great test though to see if he can handle the bigger guys.
