You dont know what you are talking about. Ward is a counter puncher first and foremost (and a very good one). His style is to start with a throwaway punch followed by a left hook counter (that he lands before the other lands his left). That is why it looks like he is pawing. His genious in the ring cannot be denied. Anyways, he is going to mop the floor with froch too. I am looking forward to ward going back down to middle after this and mopping the floor with everyone there as well. Dininisk/Dawson is the only threat to ward that I see, and I really see ward taking them both out at some point in his career.
I never see him headbutt. He has the tremendous ability to throw inside shots from close up, that is why he sticks really/really inside the pocket (but with his footwork NOT holding, you guys dont know ****).
Abraham is just another German hype job bum. Froch and Dirrell (yes, indeed) schooled him like a blind child.
He is pawing!!!! Have you seen him throw his right jab? It is like pushing it instead to punching it. The throway punch you were referring is a jab.... He throws punches without conviction, probably thinking how to not get countered instead of how to inflict damage to his opponent- which is the reason why he is boring to watch. He lacks Malicious intent.
Not intentionally. But his style is prone to headbutt. He throws a lead right, followed by a left, then he slides in with his head part leading to clinch. Of course, it could cause headbutt. Similar to Bradley. It is not accident that for the last 5 fights, Bradley had caused headbutt. It is his style, not intentional though. And he holds or clinch a lot. And we dont know boxing because we have not seen Dawson!!!!
styles make fights, and I can see how AA's style might give Ward some problems.. If AA lands that a big right on anyone, they'll be hurt. If he lands clean on ward, I wouldn't be surprised to see ward hurt.
ward is gonna get put on ***** street from an AA bomb and go down as just another american hypejob alongside the likes of lacy, tarver, taylor, judah, pavlik, dawson etc on the ever growing american hypejob scrapheap.
Even though I am a well known Abraham critic, when the Super Six started I was secretly rooting for AA to win the whole thing. Pavlik and Bute are two of my favorite fighters, and Arthur is the easiest guy for either to beat, so I wanted him to win the S-6. Now that we've seen AA fight world class opposition I'm pretty sure he would have a pretty tough night against Stieglitz. There is no way on God's Earth AA makes it past Ward. We need to remember that he only got this far based on stopping a shot Taylor.
