Andre Dirrell should easily beat Ward

The more I think about this fight, I lean towards Ward stopping Dirrell.

 

And if he loses, well, we all know he can certainly out act him.

 

From what I've heard those two have known each other for a while so who knows how many times they've sparred together in the past, and Dirrel could know something he can
exploit in this fight.

 

Dirrell has a good chance at winning...but i don't know about easily.

first 2 rounds will be a tag match. after that..I think ward is going to try to move in for the kill
because he won't win a jab contest with Dirrell.

 

Dirrell doesn't have what it takes mentally to hold up to Ward. Dirrell will be competitive early but Ward will slowly take him apart.

 

thats a very tough fight to predict.
since Ward is a style chameleon I´d think he finds a way to beat Dirrell. However both know eachother well and Dirrell is fast enough to connect clean and probably powerfull enough to score a stoppage.
atm i really consider it as a 50-50 fight.

 

There's no current fighter between 160 - 175 who would "easily" beat Ward.

Dirrell is faster with better reflexes but I don't think he's as versatile. Ward can fight inside, outside and can adapt to any style in front of him.

I think Dirrell will give him a close fight but I think Ward will find a way to win.

 

Yes. Yes. And Yes again.

One thing that seperates Ward from other S6 fighters is he seems much more mentally strong, without being overconfident (Froch) Abraham also comes across as relaxed, but focused, I just dont get that feeling with Dirrell and Green. (And Taylor when he was in)

 

Dirrell should beat Ward. Might be like Jones/Hopkins 1, but more dominant.

 

thats just dumb. at best 12rd. decision. what kinda boxing u watch?

 

I'd love for dirrel to win to block froch from entering to th next round. But ward is gonna maul that kid. After dirrel loses he can exit the super six with valuable experience that will enable him to lock up a fight with bute or simply dominate the rest of the crop at 168. Ward by ud

 

much more pressure on Dirrell... the guy who already faced the more brutal of the super 6

 

Dirrell might win a round. Tough call.

 

Pretty much dead on. Dirrell can't fight on the inside and doesn't stand a chance in hell against Ward, who is quite obviously a master, on the inside. What's Dirrell going to do to Ward that Green didn't do? Land a few pot shots? Good luck on that one. I'm going out on a limb here, but I think Ward may be a tad harder to land on than Abraham. Call me crazy, just a hunch.
