Jesus doesn't like liars, Andre Ward

Did he lose? Did he struggle? Then does it matter?

 

Hopkins taught Ward both the art of dirty fighting and the art of fabricating post-fight injuries :yep

 

You mean prefight injuries ?
Btw, is prefight a word ?

 

This guy was just trolling really, wasn't he? :-(

Another thread that's little more than a waste of bandwidth.

 

Maybe not. Granted, he won fair & square, but if he knew the fight was in the bag & that all he would HAVE to do is dance around to get a UD, and with big paydays on the horizon, I can understand them not postponing.

 

The correct answer.:good
Quite obvious after all the "anybody can be KO'd talk" that Ward couldn't back up his prediction.
Ward beat Froch convincingly,but now he's trying to add to the victory by suggesting his hand was injured before the fight.
Get the **** outta here.

 

Didn't Ward initially say he hurt it in the 5th round? No one has the medical background to dispute the thread starter? I thought maybe he hurt it when he punched Froch in the top of his head when Froch leaned in.

relax sweetheart.. I didn't know that we had the "ESB physician" getting her panties all in a knot by having the daunting task of checking all the posts on this forum. I'm sure its self empowering everytime you find a mistake. Good luck with that knuckle head. ****ing clown.:rofl

 

You have a really interesting thought process... So you're mad because Ward beat Froch and then revealed he had an injured hand? :think they have pills for PMS cupcake.. you should know that as you're the resident physician here at ESB.:roll:

 

You realise boxers go into fights with injuries all the time and keep it under the radar all the time. Floyd said he had a broken rib going into a championship fight with JLC..... Marciano was said to have fought with a broken noses as did adamek.

You obviously are a wekend boxing fan. Brush up on the sweet science before creating threads that expose your lack of boxing knowledge.

According to Andre Ward's twitter, it seems that he injured his left hand quite significantly during the 6th round of his fight with Carl Froch. As you may know, since Andre fights in a regular stance, the left hand would be the lead hand responsible for jabs and the mean left hook he employed during the fight. I would need to see the fight again, but I think that Andre started going back and forth between southpaw and regular stances during the 7th round and this injury may explain why. He wanted to shield the left hand yet still keep a high punch output.

If you look at the CompuBox numbers, it seems that Ward's jab percentage drops significantly from the 6th to the 7th round. Before and including the 6th round Ward was landing his jab at a 50-60% rate, whereas after the 6th round he was landing at a 17-40% rate. This could be due to Ward missing on purpose or the switch to a slightly unnatural southpaw position, but it sure does seem like Ward's jab became less accurate after the 6th round.

On to the injury itself, Andre just announced that the MRI revealed multiple fractures in the third and fifth metacarpal. Apparently this was an aggravation of a previous injury sustained in training a week before the fight. Initial X-Rays revealed that there was no damage so the fight went forward.

 

Unless doctor Shaw Hi confirms anything, it didn't happen!!

 

So you are accusing Ward of lying when you have no credible proof of this..

 

He didn't say he broke the hand before the fight. He said he hurt it and the X-ray showed soft tissue damage. Then he iced and protected it up until the fight and it felt absolutely fine. Then in the sixth round he felt it go again.

After the fight he had an MRI scan which showed multiple fractures.
