Ward should take it, though i won't get too ahead of myself as Dirrell is very good. I think Dirrell, whilst frequently spectacular, makes too many errors in any given round to decision Ward, who is one of the more complete fighters around at the moment. These two are the top dogs in the division though, and i think Ward will go on to have a very dominant career (and Dirrell should only get better, even if he loses again once or twice). Ward is too well rounded and polished, the difference lies in areas like footwork and i think that will show in a competitive, but clear win for Ward. Biggest fight of the year for me, though it could be awkward and visually appealing at times.
Every other fighter/promoter except Ward/Goossen has done there bits to secure this tournament. After watching Ward/Goossen in and out off the ring, I'm afraid that they will do everything to secure them self and business only..................
