Hello mighty Beouche. I dont think Ward would be as effective if he didnt hold and lean so much. Look at what happened when he tried to move against D Boone :admin. Its possible that if you remove those tactics that he has been able to use in America, he may be unsure what to do when it gets tough. Look at how he was troubled by Bika in round 12 I have been laying low for a while, so about time I made an appearance
Not that Im aware of. Froch outlanded Dirrell, got wobbled, but had Dirrell backing off and wanting to hold. Another fighter Froch took the 0 of in a world title fight, that is 3 that I can think of and really Abraham hadnt been beaten other than by DQ. How many fighters has Ward taken the 0 of in world title fights? Didnt Ward get a gift vs Boone?
Neither would I if the glove was on the other hand. I don't blame you though.I'd be pretty ashamed too.
You said it yourself that Froch cant be considered a great win on Wards resume because Froch got a gift against Dirrell Young fighters get into messy scraps when they are being brought along. Was Ali lucky against Cooper? Was Mayweather lucky against Sanders? Did you know that Oscar de la Hoya got a reputation for a glass jaw when he was coming up because he was dropped so many times? Doesnt matter what happens when you are being moved along BAiley. Its how your career goes when after the adversity. And so far, Ward has made Europe his son. Infact Im pretty sure that 65% of europeans have Andre Ward ancestory at the moment.
Unlike you,I can actually happily stand by my comments without desperately hoping someone else on an internet forum backs up my viewpoint.
This is an excellent/important observation.. With Frochs higher work rate early on in his more recent fights and generally more aggressive style I feel he potentially causes Ward problems in a rematch. If he manages to nick a decent share of the rounds in the first half of the fight, Wards slightly suspect stamina may not see him through as Froch looks to take him into the trenches through the later and championship rounds.
As a respected poster (arguably ESBs most respected) and fan of Wards, I will look over the posts and give an insightful, respectful, neutral opinion of the debate between yourself and Irishny. It will be of interest for you and tough luck on Irishny, whos posts I have read before atsch. Judging by this, It looks like I could be laughing again
As much as I dont really care too much about the opinion of a any of the people on this site,who I dont actually know and have never met. Your opinion actually means the least. To the point where if you disagreed with me, Id almost feel vindicated. So please...have at it
LOL! Being aggressive against no head movement Kessler and Bute are completely different aspects than being aggressive against Ward who is constantly moving, bobbing, weaving and altering angles. Do you know anything about boxing? **** me. Ward held him off with one ****ing hand. Whats in the water over there? Chloride? :rofl
I bet when I give my opinion, you will be reading it intently, concerned with your standing on ESB whilst pretending that you are not bothered. It wont be tonight, but as I am off soon, but I will look over the posts and give a neutral opinion
