Iv watched his fights with kessler and green, and i'm not all that impressed i think he'll win the super 6 but thats mainly becasue i dont rate any of the fighters in the tournament, i think when he ends up fighting Bute to prove who the number 1 is in the division he'll take a beating, does any1 else agree?
When someone has fought Kessler, Green, Miranda and barely lost a round then that pretty much says what we need to know. He is a top fighter but I think he will have a bogey man.
I think Dirrell will win the super six and beat Ward. He's got phenomonal skills and speed, the only question mark is over his chin. Why the hell don't you rate Dirrell Wham Bam?
I could see Dirrell getting a decision over Ward. Not so sure about him getting properly beat up by him though.
I think it could be Abraham. Ward is undoubtedly skilled, but he's shown he likes to exert his will on his opponents. If Abraham hasn't even got to chase Ward then he's playing right into Abrahams hands, which are fairly fast and destructive. A nice uppercut is what Ward is asking for IMO. However, Abraham will probably be complaining his ass off at some of Wards more roughhouse tactics from the get-go, could he a dull fight IMO. I'd still favour Ward to win, I personally think he's harder than Dirrell and will take him out his gameplan from the offset, stick in his chest and rough him up for a decision. IF they actually fight I've been seriously impressed with Ward, the Kessler win was comprehensive.
Ward is one of what i call the ''new school U.S fighters''. He has gifts of speed in hand and foot and ability to box and razzle dazzle but chooses to be a very astute tactical fighter who adds different components to his skillset. Him,Bradley and a few others are now not relying on there physical blessings. They rely on solid gameplans and the fact they can adapt in the fights. These lads are anything but spectacular but are very very effective. The lads for real and only have to watch his last three displays. This will be the acid test when his physical advantages are matched and bettered and he must now think of a way to engage the running man Dirrell.
Ward will win the super six. Ward is a future all time great. Ward is a top 3 P4P fighter in the world right now. People who rate Dirrell over Ward, because he appears to look a little faster are ignorant ****ing ****s and make me incredibly angry.
Solid post. Ward is skilled enough not be to be outboxed, by anyone around right now, especially Dirrell. Froch/Abraham would look silly trying to out fight him, as Ward is a masterful on the clinch. The guy has no weakness that is worth mentioning. Perhaps a lack of power, but the best boxer of the last 10 years had medicore Knockout power and turned out to be a pretty good undefeated middleweight.
No way. He's the future best fighter in the world. I really don't see anybody with his overall skillset coming up. When Pac and Mayweather ride off into the sunset he'll be the man. He has all the attributes, he's right upstairs, he knows all the tricks in the ring.
Yeah must admit it's getting on my nerves. Dirrell ran from Froch like a coward imo. Then against Abraham he did a great job....but people telling me Ward couldn't of done that???. He was starting to wilt down the final stretch. Dirrell hasn't met a man like Ward and Ward hasn't met a man like Dirrell but Ward can take it so many damn places Dirrell can't. He can get up in his grill and beat **** out of him on the inside. He can make it a chess match at range, He can sit in pocket. Dirrell needs the fight at range otherwise he's in for a long night.
