i pick Groves and Cleverly to not only beat him, but knock him out. it's coming soon and i cannot wait.
I'm from the U.S.,a. Never seen Groves or Cleverly, but they'd be grabbin' a tiger by the tail with Ward.
Bradley Ward Hopkins seem to have this license nobody else has to lead with their head and lunge in with the top of their heads it's disgraceful really. Lets turn the tables I think Kessler would have been DQ'd if he did that to ward.
No but it's a deciding factor just look how Hopkins made a career out of lunging with his head at the same time as throwing a punch. Steward always said this is why Hopkins is so awkward because you have to worry about his head as well.
So the European promoter who put this together with Showtime fixed the tournament so an American could win? Sounds pretty far fetched my man.
B hop took calzaghie to school. Couldn't even tell he fought that night at the dinner table. Calzaghie won that fight just like Alexander and Judah beat mattysse. Both Hopkins and mattysse lost those fight without somehow getting hit clean once.
I'm a believer in Ward. I think he might go down as being the 2nd best SMW after RJJ himself. Sure I might be proven wrong in the very next fight, but that is boxing for you. There are a couple of fighters that you can't bet against right now. Wlad, Floyd and Ward.
Ward got dropped by Boone in his 7th or 8th pro fight. So what? Andre has been down the same number of times as iron chinned Froch has. ONCE!!!!! Froch got dropped by a blown up middleweight who was ahead on two score cards when Carl stopped him. The difference is Froch's crowd pleasing style calls for him to defend punches with his face while dull Ward utilizes technique to slip and evade punches. Ward's chin looked A Ok to me when he was handling Froch with one hand, so I'd say Ward's chin is pretty damn good!!!
Froch went down against the former Middleweight champ who's a very good puncher. it wasn't from one shot, it was about ten shots in total. Froch wasn't hurt or anything, his head was clear. Ward on the other hand got clocked by a stiff in Boone. two shots and Ward was looking like bambi. huge difference wouldn't you say? :think Froch knocked out that former Middle champ in style. i had Ward vs Boone as a draw. again, huge difference. Taylor wasn't a blown up Middle either. i think you mean a blown up SUPER Middle. Taylor wasn't small for the weight, so i'm not buying the crap that you're selling. please stop with this ONE ARM business! i saw Ward use both plenty of times. the evidence is there and clear for all to see. :deal
