Matthew Saad Muhammad vs Andre Ward

What Saad had that only a select few have is that instinct to know when to turn it on and go for the win. He did it at the beginning of the 8th round against Marvin Johnson in the second fight, and in the 12 round in the first fight. He would have lost both fights if he had laid back in those rounds. He was behind on points in the first fight and had a bad cut in the second one. He was clutch.

 

Right...great "all-around" fighter.

 

I didn`t know Matt had such a long reach, that would make quite a difference if he could land a shot like Ward landed first. I think that`s the hardest shot Ward`s ever thrown.

 

Matt was a marvel!!!!

 

So is Andre!

 

Matthew Saad Muhammad by decision. He'll force the fight and perhaps even drop Ward in the process. Ward doesn't have the firepower to keep Muhammad off of him and will try to spoil his way to avoid getting stopped.

 

15 rounds, Saad floors Ward and wins a strong decision based on his later round performance.
