Obviously Ima homer but I think Dre is gonna make Kessler look real uncomfortable. I don't see him handling Wards speed or athleticism verywell.

On another note, a lot of people haven't seen Ward fight much and are underestimating his boxing intelligence and his versatility. He's young but heswitches between orthodox and southpaw as well as anybody. Not only does he have all the punches but he utilizes them all too. He can float in and out ofrange on the outside of the pocket or move inside and cut off his opponents range and do damage there.

Kessler got the title for a reason though and this is gonna be a serious test for Andre. One thing I guarantee you will be a factor is the venue. I wasn'tat the Ward/Miranda fight but I heard the crowd was aggressive as hell.

I hear yah.

Kessler is the favorite. His Super Middleweight Title is on the line as well.

Watching the Fight Camp right now. Love the access and footage they get, just wish the episode was more current. I'd rather have them cover more of Ward/Kessler than the buildup of the first few fights. Guess I'm to used to the 24/7 format, though I do appreciate the less theatrical approach that Fight Camp brings.

I actually enjoy Fight Camp a little more than 24/7. We see more inside access. 24/7 still has an advantage in music though

One thing I guarantee you will be a factor is the venue. I wasn't at the Ward/Miranda fight but I heard the crowd was aggressive as hell.

If Oakland supports Ward with the same passion as the Raiders

Gonna be a crazy atmosphere

Anyone think paul can be upset by Martinez? Not quite sure why this fight is happening......smh and now with manny with the wbc looks like my boy is nevergetting that belt haha manny vs the punsher in nevuary ...he should get the winner of berto/mosley. williams vs mosley would be epic

SMMFH........can't believe that *@+ I watched last night.

Mike.....double or nothing on the Pac/Cotto.....I got MAC.

Rob having a bad run. Son might jump off his roof if Ward gets KOed.

I'm a huge Martinez fan, but I don't think he has a shot. A little more notice like say if they were fighting either the week before or afterBerto/Mosley, I'd give him a better shot. But Paul has been training for Kelly for sometime now and Martinez has been in limbo about his next fight for awhile.

 

[sjsneakerheadiii]

Ward will lose come Saturday.

I see nothing in this dude.

 

[sloane kettering]

Not really.

He's a pretty much lock to stick at 147lbs.

He's not beating PBF and he already lost to Manny.

He beat Shane. Whats left for him?

Berto?

you never know lmao every now and then a quintana comes up with a belt , im sure if he can get his confidence up by beating a paper champ enforcing what aemmanuel stewart teaches he is gonna feel good about himself.....for safety reasons i dont think he should go to 154 ...after what 10 round withjudah,margarito clottey and pacquiao which all resulted rather bloody the last thing he needs is a paul williams or kirkland.... and who do you guys have asfighter of the year , i got Juan Manuel Lopez

[lightweight champion]

I like Dre but idk about this weekend. Pantera was supposed to be his first true test, and although he passed I wouldn't say he did it with flying colorsbecause it never appeared that he had Miranda hurt. I'm rooting for him, but I don't expect a victory.

And I heard tickets were available still at Oracle for Saturday night?
