    I love watching a tactician apply his craft with superior methods.
    I dont find truly great performances to ever be boring and this was a guy at his best.

    Impressive fighter, but he is undeniably boring. Everything about him is boring to me. His fights, his personality, pretty much the whole deal. Hopefully this will change with time cause hes gonna have a hall of fame career reguardless.

    Boring? Maybe. That's a matter of taste and opinion.

    But he is sure damn effective.

    I find him boring too. Not that he hasn't got great talent and skills. It is just too much clinching and "computer boxing" for my taste. As remedy I suggest watching some UFC/MMA after watching Ward fight. It sort of balances things out a bit:good. More importantly I don't think Ward is good for boxing with his current style. If you want to see action how the hell do you argue in favour of a Ward fight????

    I'm entertained by Ward's in fighting. Sure there are a lot more exciting fighters but something about his gritty fighting I like.

    Boxing is a sport IMO MMA / UFC not. I like to watch boxing but i would never watch MMA/UFC fights.

    Ward is a very good boxer and he uses skills to win fights. Just like Wlad so i like to watch fighters like Ward, Dirrell.

    Great win for Ward. Very good.

    Seems a lot of you guys find him rather boring as well. Good to know I'm not the only one.

    Not even close, Ward has to raise his boring game up to even be mentioned with May and Wlad, those two are far ahead imo
