    This guy just doesn't have a good fight in him. He talked about this fight being a war but he would do anything to avoid that. The constant spoiling whenever Abraham got close was ridiculous. He's just **** to watch. An ugly spoiler and it ruins him. He should have a lot more respect than he has because he doesn't need to do this. He chooses scrappy over impressive.

    Yes.

    It's effective, but I don't think that style or tactic will hold up for him forever. But it does work. And it's not particularly fun to watch.

    I agree. I like Andre as a person. I think he's honest and humble and all that. Good character. But really he's the most boring fighter in this tournament. Yeah, he's got a nice sharp jab and he's pretty tough. But his whole defense is holding. Holding, holding, holding. I want to like the guy, but he just is not fun to watch.

    Ward has an amazing jab, but not enough power for the KO. He's a very skilled boxer, but I hate when he ducks down and grabs the opponent by the waist if the opponent tries to engage. Froch will really test him.

    He does duck pretty low and then initiates a clinch.

    Very boring fight. Hats off to Ward though he stuck with his gameplan and shut out abraham.

    Just good smart boxing. No special effects. You have to have an appreciation for boxing skill to like this guy.

    The thing is, you'd expect the referee to say something to him. Spoiling like he does doesn't allow for any inside fighting which has got to be against the rules. It's excessive holding, without question. How many times did he dive under Abraham's under whenever Abraham leaped in?

    It's just **** to watch. The fights turn from what could look like a very impressive performance into an ugly, boring, repetitive, cookie cutter bout

    He's 10 times more skilled than Haye and probably has a much better chin, so GTFO Brittard.

    Ward is as entertaining as having hemeroids.

    He usually hangs his chin out, which he didnt do tonight and he didnt headbutt which you can give him credit for.

    But Frochy made AA his *****, bring on next weekend.
