If you're gonna pick a Ward fight to **** and moan about, this isn't the one. He completely schooled Queen Arthur without turning it into a major foul fest. No he's not a "must see" fighter, but if you call yourself a boxing fan you have to appreciate what he does. Otherwise **** off back to toughman competitions.
wlad is also effictive but he is the most boring boxer in the world, no boxer in the whole wide world, practicly only jabs in a whole fight.
I don't WANT to watch that fight again. I'd agree with you if this was out of the norm for Ward. But it's not. This is how he fights every fight. Dirty, holding, grabbing, safe, measured, ugly. I'd blame it on Abraham if Ward was usually exciting. But he never, ever is. Yeah, I appreciate his jab, his tenacity, his will to win, and his character. He's a great guy. But boring and frustrating to watch.
Depends on what you like. Ward is more aggressive than Wlad, but he's also more dirty. So, it depends on what you want. Wlad is more likely to get a KO or KTFO than Ward. Wlad isn't dirty, he just holds more now. Like Lewis later in his career.
Both are effective with not incredibly crowd pleasing style. One is dirtier, one gets more KO's. It's all about what you like. Neither guy will be taking Pacquiao's mantle as an exciting fighter anytime soon.
After the winner of the Super Six fights Bute I will then know for sure that none of them hold a candle to Calzaghe. I mean, seriously. Ward? Froch? Bute? None of these guys are even close to special. Calzaghe beats them all fairly easily. He always found a way to rise to the occasion. Froch looked like an ******* against Dirrel and couldn't do anything. Ward fights ugly fights mostly (Kessler excluded, that was his best performance) And Bute basically got Ko'd by Andrade and has fought nothing but bums lately. The Calzaghe that beat Kessler would easily beat any of these guys.
Ward never even got a chance to make it dirty due to abrahams holding. ward tried to get close and work on the inside but abraham wasnt havin it. All arthur did was grab wards arm or head. Stay on topic dude. Ward won this fight with a jab alone. His body work was flawless. Abraham was done after those body shots. Abraham outclassed by fundamental boxing. Get over it. This was a great night for boxing. We need more andre wards
If we get more Andre Wards then boxing is in big trouble. If you found this fight exciting then I don't know what to say to you.
Yeah, two guys colliding. Not like AA knows how to fight inside or is comfortable doing so (Only vaguely toward the end of the fight when nothing was working). Ward is an absolute treat to true boxing fans.
Get a load of this joke. Ward ducks Abrahams punches and gets out of the way? Holy **** really? If Froch survives against Johnson Wards gonna beat his ass. Haye will get smoked by the Klit before that. Hope you enjoy your summer ***. :good
