    Wat r your thoughts on his career so far and how far can he go. Currently wbc international champ and won a eliminator for british title. Has some of the best sparring in the country inhouse with burns and mitchell and matchroom backing him

    He can go all the way, much lesser fighters have won world titles then Ward he is technically very good.

    I always thought very highly of him, however in recent fights he seems to be getting close to finding his level so I doubt that he will go all the way. I hope I am wrong an I hope he gets back to his best but I'm not sure he has anything in his game that we haven't seen before.

    Good technical fighter but just doesn't have the pop that will keep the higher level fighters off him at title level.

    The mexican was landing the harder shots a night, he was just out worked. Wards footwork was no good against the mexican plodder no lateral movement, could of made it a lot easier.

    Yes Wards head movement is pretty poor but why do people on here write a fighter off after just one bad performance?
