    "He looks about the same level as Nadjib Mohammedi"


    Are you completely out of your mind? Did you actually write this from an insane asylum? What ward? Why are you not taking your meds?

    Watched the full video and was expecting a rather bold prediction. :lol:

    Solid breakdown. I agree. I know that I'm in the minority but I do have a bit of skepticism about Andre's beard. This fight interests me because I want to see how Andre reacts when hit by a heavy handed, real 175er.

    Thanks for the vid.

    Another good video Mr. Rumsfeld. Thank you for taking the time to do it. Yeah this will be a good fight for where Ward is at right now. Barrera will make Ward work and it will give us a look to see if Andre still has all the tools. At least Barrera will throw punches unlike Paul Smith. But Ward's camp didn't know that Paul Smith was going to come fight fat like he was. Ward cant do much about that.

    Probably, but I'm still pretty good at judging fighters.

    Mother's basement.

    A combination of having my ***** doctor cut them back and my ******* insurance not authorizing new scripts or therapists. I'd take more if I could.

    It was a bad idea for Smith to hire Ronald McDonald as his training camp chef.

    I'd like to see Ward fight on the inside but not all your head in the guys chest and grappling. If Ward's opponent doesn't have good foot movement Ward should be able to fight on the inside while rolling shots and using the catch and shoot counter. Just stop all that holding. A little holding is fine but after a while its excessive and doesn't draw more fans to the sport.

    His stomach was all flabby. Doesn't make Ward look good beating up on guys who are punching bags in a shell. But Ward didn't know that Paul Smith would look like that so.

    Yeah. Definitely a lot of questions that will be answered regarding both.

    Thanks!

    And I wouldn't be surprised if Barrera frustrates Ward and/or stuns him a few times. I'm actually expecting it. But I'm expecting the reverse to happen far more frequently.

    Whatever winds up happening, I'm interested in seeing it all play out.

    :thumbsup

    Ward might have problems bullying guys his own size with skill.

    You guys will be surprised when you see Andre Ward looks like a career LHW. He isn't small. You guys will see.

    I don't know what kind of weight training they do. I just hope Ward looks good at the weight. I kinda didn't like the way he looked vs Paul Smith. He wasn't small but he didn't look like he gained any muscle mass. He weighed in right at 172. I'm sure its going to take them a few fights before he is sorted out. We shall see.
