I can't see a stoppage by Ward. His power and his output are not enough to do it. Unless Abraham simply gives up.
Ward's power is decent. He's certainly no KO artist, and never has been. It will certainly help Ward that AA has very bad footing, bad balance, and has a bad habit of lunging in with his punches when he attacks. Ward will very likely time and catch Abraham with sharp counters as he lunges in attacking. I can see Ward throwing perfectly timed counter shots and perhaps even putting AA down early, and again for good in the later rounds. At that point in the later rounds, as usual AA will be losing on points and may just decide to stay down to avoid any additional embarrassment. Bottom line, as usual is; Abraham can't box, and he's stepping into the ring for the first time in his career with a Master Boxer. This outcome is almost written.
Abraham just does not have it at 168. 2 absolute schoolings back to back....If Froch can outbox him then I can't see Ward (the better boxer) having any issues. Dirrell on the other hand is better technically than Ward but Ward being grittier and still possessing a good skill set will see to it that he schools Abraham via landslide decision and probably head buts him about 40 times.
Abraham is not a 168 lb. fighter, plus Ward has his personal referee, his personal judges and will butt his way to a win. Ward is afraid of Bute. Ward refused to fight in the tournament unless he got ALL his fight in his home town with his personal referee and judges. Ward also refused to fight in the tournament if Bute were allowed in. This is Ward's personal tournament, from the beginning. Ward loves to cheat, they only way he can win.
Can Ward jab and move for 12 rounds? I haven't seen that from him yet. if ward does that grabbing and holding ****,Abraham will be close enough to test his chin. Then anything can happen.
12:27 in. That Glass Jaw is getting Shattered.:rofl:dead [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNeJ6RXkgoM[/ame]
:rofl:rofl:rofl God, if some amateur can put him down like that, and send him to ***** street till the bell saved him, imagine what Abraham will dohappy:happy
A more accurate Kessler couldn't "shatter his jaw". Abraham has his best shot turning it into a brawl and hoping that Ward dares to bully him. Miranda and Kessler hit Ward with some good shots so he definitely doesn't have a glass jaw. Ward's problem has been coming in with his head and relying too much on trying to outmuscle his opponents. He needs to concentrate on sticking & moving and countering. He made the Bika fight harder than it needed to be though he did beat Bika at his own game.
Ring rusty, double visioned, old, ruined (Calzaghe ) Kessler isn't the markings of a good chinatsch:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl Once Ward fights out of his home town, he will lose, because he can't cheat and get robberies.:deal
Calling it now Abraham will get stopped in 8 after the Gevor fight Abraham had surgery to his broken jaw which was performed by Waterford's which has been very unsuccessful. Feather fisted Academy award winning nervous wreck Andre Dirrell dropped him FFS !.
