you really think the fight was that bad? tbh the Super Six is just bringing together the dirtiest fighters out there. Ward knows all the tricks, Abraham......shall I post a link to the last round of Dirrell, Froch and Kessler do not mind the naughty stuff, adding Bika and Johnson who arent exactly stranger to rough house tactics. All they need is Hopkins and for Andre Golota to drop 70lbs.
I think if that fight was in York Hall on a Frank Warren card and Dave Parris was reffing it there would have been ****ing murder on here about it!!!:good
In some ways I do. I like to see fists flying not heads. I never liked heads and elbows used as weapons in the ring. Give me a straight up fists no clinches fight any day. Hit and defence.
So Ward doesn't have to leave Oakland - 4 fights in a row at home and a potential final in the US. Abraham & Froch will probably finish 2nd and 3rd and have to fight again. If Green wins, we'll get Ward-Green II. On the positive side I am looking forward to Froch-Abraham and one of them fighting Ward in a years time.
I must say Rob I've had that fight ever since it happened and I've only wathced watched two rounds. All the reports said Green was poo...it just put me off watching. Am I missing out? I understand Ward's assets of speed, and switching are trouble for many but he aint no Hagler!
Its worth a watch if you appreciate a certain type of fighter. Some say its was hugging and holding, I think it was inside fighting of the highest quality.
