Dont be surprised to see Dirrell beat Ward.

When Ward gets inside it's game over. The only one who has a bit of a chance vs Ward in the super six is Abraham IMO.

 

Ward = super confident
Ward = technically superior
Ward = not a whiner as Dirrell
Ward = could fight dirtier (Dirrell tends to be taken out of his game)
Ward = Arguably as fast as Dirrell
Ward = undefeated champion (see confidence)

 

If Dirrell can show a bit of heart. He will beat him. He is a superior boxer.

 

How did you draw this conclusion?:huh

 

This Will be Speed Chess... I predict a Draw..

 

I agree with the mental toughness edge for Ward, I also believe he has more of a "mean streak", which could prove to be the difference. I would also point to Ward's fundamental discipline as an edge, but I have nothing but respect for Dirrell. I look at them kinda like Leonard and Hearns, not as in they are as good as, but as in it's a similar matchup to me. Similar is not the same as exact, hence I'm aware Hearns is probably more powerful than Dirrell, I understand both men are all time greats and we are talking about young fighters, but the advantages that I would give Leonard and/or Hearns are relatively close in my opinion.

 

Probably the 2nd toughest behind what Taylor's matchups were suppose to be(now Green replaced him).

 

I wouldn't say "has a chance" because I think Dirrell has a chance (I mean he beat the **** out of AA even before the DQ), but I agree AA would be the greatest threat and the most interesting fight for me.

 

I think I'll enjoy Ward/Dirrell and probably for the only reason being is because I'm a fan of both. The same way I enjoyed Hopkins/Jones 1 & 2, I am a fan of both fighters.

 

I wouldn't be surprised.........Ward and Dirrell are the best fighters in the tourney.:good

 

Dirrels skills are suoperior but I think Ward will to win and mental toughness will earn him the close decision.

 

:good It should be a good fight! I feel dirrell has the style to beat ward as well..

 

I can't wait for this matchup as they will be fighting on the outside I believe. I like Dirrel's jab as it seems more crisp and his speed is slightly better but I do believe Ward overall has a better arsenal that he can use, this is the matchup that I have been waiting for!

 

i saw 10 threads on this about allan green....
not to mention dirrell looked like **** against froch......ward is gonna school him.....so i would be "surprised if dirrell won 3 rounds"

 

what are you smoking? dirrell got beat by froch.....where as ward has barley lost any rounds,,,,not to mention gold medalist..... :huh:huh:huh
