    Bump!

    Is this not brilliant by Ward?
    You see most boxers parry and feint, but not anywhere near this level of finesse!

    What I like most from that sequence is the jab to the body. Ward's jab to the body was almost as good as Floyd's.

    He seems to own the opponent here mentally so that the opponent doesn't even commit properly. Kudos to Ward. He was a G.

    V.Nice. Sully went onto prove he was pretty handy. I had known nothing of him at the time so did really value the win.
    Wards LHW run won't ever get the credit it deserves over the two controversial results against Kovalev but you gotta appreciate what he achieved in those fights through sheer skill , will and determination .
    It'll be interesting to see how Kovalev looks this weekend.

    I have high hopes for Kovalevs return.
    He seems to be more honest with himself now, and I think that will translate well in the ring.

    Ward parried that jab so good, that he swung Barreras body around.
