    Dont get me wrong, I was wrong about my prediction about Froch stopping Ward but im not bitter, i just expected Froch to fight a hell of a lot more aggresively but Ward smothered and spoiled all night long and took advantage of that (not that I ever expected Froch to beat him on points)

    Now Bute is called a ducker and a phony despite being left out of the super six for whatever reason (i think it was something to do with the Andrade rematch) but he handled the same glen johnson Froch fought and beat him with more ease than anyone has in recent times and dominated all 12 rounds.

    As much as i like Kessler i dont think he would be able to do much in a Ward rematch, but Bute would have the best chance out of anyone by waring Ward down on the inside with those Body punches of his. its just a question whether he would be able to with Ward rubbing his head into Bute and tying his arms up like he does everyone else.

    But with reports of Bute likely to face Froch next as Ward refuses to fight outside of Oakland now were just going to have to wait seeing as Ward will more than likely face Lil dirrell next with Kessler being tied up with stielglitz.

    I just hate his style so much, Ward doesnt box he spoils, if he was winning without smashing his head in deliberately and holding on for most of the rounds he wouldnt be on a winning streak right now

    No dude. You're bitter. And, Bute has less of a prayer than Froch and Abraham put together. Dirrell beat them both. Andre's got skill and the Euroboys Don't! End of story!

    Ward spoils by making his opponent miss and then punching him in the face. That sounds like boxing to me.

    Lets see. You dislike Ward enough to pick him to be knocked out in a fight he is heavily favored in. You are wrong about the result and then complain that Ward cheats after no instances of unsportsmanlike like behavior and no fouls occur in the fight. You then go on to predict he will lose against another fighter.

    Well written, will recommend to others.

    Ward is already a more accomplished fighter than Fraudke ever was.

    This whole headbutting thing is blown out of proportion. It seems like people are just parroting the complaints of others. No doubt Ward caught Kessler, but to hear it told, Ward stole victory from Kessler on the strength of his head. Never mind that he dominated from bell to bell and had Kessler, a proven pro and veteran fighter, looking out of his league at times.

    His style may not be the most exciting, but where was the hew and cry when Ricky Hatton, who was far worse, was operating?

    Now , don't mistake me for a Ward fan, but the guy deserves his due. It doesn't come without controversy, but nowadays what does?

    Simply put, Ward gets the job done. Whether it be spoiling or rough house tactics, he does what he needs to do to secure the win. He's good, good enough to clearly beat the 2 best SMWs ( Super Six ) with relative ease.

    Lets see him against Bute.
