    LOL when Abraham was asked how Ward compares to the other guys he's fought in the super six tournament. His answer? "Definitely in the top 3".

    Considering he's had four fights in the S6 tournament, and won one of them, that's as much of a non-answer as you can get to that question. :)

    He means he doesnt have what AA would consider knock out power. If Ward hit like a baby then he would walk him down and knock him out. AA was on th back foot for a good portion to the fight. If Ward had no power he wouldnt take a step back when hit but he did...

    both power and skill can win you fights.

    Too many fans think it's one or the other when in fact both are important.

    It's really sad listening to him in postfight interviews. Like you said, he seems pretty cool otherwise, but he is a terribly poor sport with losses.

    I think it's the intangibles. Ward seems to naturally adapt to opponents and anticipate what they do, frustrating them.

    Ward isn't much of a puncher. He's quick with a good skillset but power is one of his weaknesses.

    Some fighters just aren't born with power no matter how much they perfect their technique, but Ward could improve his punching technique as well. He has a tendency to throw slapping type shots and doesn't turn them over enough. He also often throws at the target rather than through it.

    You dont have to have KO power to win
