https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42_rXnakQQo During many of Andre Ward's interviews he has done lately he always reflects on his past. At the moment many pundits claim that Ward only has the past to talk about because as he knows there really isn't much to talk about in the future. Ward is very proud about his Super Six victory. Its a glorious achievement. He refers to it as being thrown to the wolves and defeating his way to victory and Christ!! Many think its unfair criticism but they must understand all that will vanish as soon as SOG gets back in the ring and knocks a few heads off. Have no fear Ward fans SOG is back on the attack!
Thrown to the wolves Kessler, Bika, Abe and Froch. Fought back hard and won the tournament. Almost cleaned out his division.:deal
No one doubts his ability but i fear he has wasted his best years and his inactivity will have an adverse affect on him
Abe a MW at that point. Meh win Bika last minute replacement. Struggled against a late sub Froch outboxed by Taylor and Dirrell before Ward faced him. A good win Kessler already schooled by Joe C. Decent win. All in all Ward highly overrates his wins in the S6. On paper this tourney sounded great leading up to it. In reality the tourney went to ****(guys dropping out, hometown cooking,MW;s fighting at SMW). And the blatant duck of Dirrell!!!!!!! Ward has a few good wins in his career. Nothing Great as he would lead you to believe.
Kessler was plagued with injuries.:tired Plus Ward confused the hell out of him when he kept switching to southpaw. And the way Ward brings his head forward when he punches totally ruined Kessler and made him hesitate to react to things. Kessler had never been in that style fight in his life.atsch That's why some of those guys from across the pond are just limited in some departments and are not hard to beat with the right skill set they teach in gyms.
the SMW division at that time was a bit weak, this is probably why a super 6 was achievable as there managements all needed some decent paydays from there investments! (you wouldn't get this in todays WW division) Ward is top notch and popped that division like a rapier to a balloon but don't get it twisted Froch was rated no.2 and he's probably one of the most unskilled SMW champions in history! no doubt Ward is P4P still but he has to make moves in the LHW division to be HOF worthy in my opinion
