    He might need a few tune ups before his first show

    Let the nut cracking, elbowing and head butting commence.

    He should be a perfect fit alongside that pseudo-intellectual wet rag Kriegel. Can't believe they replaced a legend and a legit gangster like Teddy with him and now they've hired another clown for the circus.

    He's done a pretty good job as a broadcaster. He was a very technical fighter and is able to communicate the technical aspects of the sport pretty well.

    I rate Paulie as the best currently doing it, but Andre is no slouch.

    Mr.Ward is one of the most intelligent people on this planet, he should be an INCREDIBLE broadcaster. He's incredible.

    Bradley is a much better boxing analyst-commentator than the boring, monotone Ward.

    Ward is gonna stack the deck commentating by using 2 microphones and making other broadcasters wear blindfolds and ear plugs.

    I liked Bradley (assuming hes out and Wards in) he had a good eye for what was going on and was able to coherently explain it and also insert his experience in there without doing it too much

    Hate the guy as an analyst to be honest. Think he's the worst one.

    No charisma, very biased, doesn't really provide that much insight. Bradley, Porter, RJJ, Hopkins all better.

    So is he working with Bradley or is Bradley gone? Could have swore Tim just signed a multi year deal himself with ESPN. Maybe Ward will be in studio like Kellerman use to be on FNF.
