    Stupid bump, a fighter isn't exposed every time he has a tough fight.

    Reading comprehension not your forte, then.

    "Exposed" does not equal "overrated". If Ward was as awesome as some people thought he was (i.e. a high top 10 p4p fighter/ and A level fighter), Bika could not have given him a tough fight. He clearly has weaknesses that can be exploited, even by a B- to B level fighter like Bika.

    I wasn't interpreting the title, only your bump.

    Sometimes fighters just get spoiled by a certain style, and young inexperienced guys have off nights. Ward was trying to knock him out in the early rounds, something he's not capable of. You should watch Ali-Cooper. Maybe that'd give you some perspective.

    The fact that Ward was trying to do something he shouldn't have tried to do also suggests Ward is not yet 100% mature. Bika is extremely strong early on. Bute came close to getting him into the position where he could have stopped him late on, but that's about it. Unless you are a huge puncher, you're not getting Bika out, certainly not early. Ward should have known better.

    But yeah, thanks for the tip. Will watch if on youtube.
