Miranda's corner says to go the body and avoid Ward's right. Ward is looking for the right. "This is serious, the guy don't get a punch. He's running out of gas."
10-9 Ward 30-27 Ward I second what has been said about this being an excellent fight to watch so far. Ward is staying in the pocket while nevertheless moving around skillfully.
wards riding most of mirandas punches but he should try to move it more so that miranda doesnt have a target to begin with. otherwise, ward getting more confident, showing a lot of heart and skill in there tonight.
Miranda has Ward on the ropes as Ward is fighting on the inside. Miranda lands a MASSIVE right and Ward holds on. Ward going straight back and that's not what he should be doing. He needs to go back to boxing more for this round. The cut has stopped bleeding now, good work from Ward's people. Miranda gets powered to the body as Ward begins to move better like he did in round 3. Ward throws 6 punches unanswered and while they're partially blocked they're landing. Ward is stronger than we figured, muscling Miranda around. Ward showing no regard for Miranda's power with his hands down by his dick Sergio Martinez style. Ward muscles Miranda into the ropes as we get more wrestling this round. Ward looks calm as he lands a NASTY body punch. Ward is showing very good boxing IQ now, the sort of boxing IQ his SMW rival (Andre Dirrell) doesn't show. Miranda looks distressed as the round ends. 4-0 Ward.
Miranda is sluggish. He doesn't seem to have the same intensity. It's like the Pavlik & AA knocked a lot of the confidence out of him.
Ward is completely controlling both the distance and the terms of engagement. He throws combinations and then gets out of there before Miranda can really land anything of substance. Towards the end of the round, he makes Miranda miss wildly with his gloves down. Another easy round for Ward. 40-36 Ward
miranda getting tired already. dragging his feet a bit at the end of that round. this guy fights like an amateur.
