Another thing Ward will do is when he's grabbing a hold of you like an octopus or tying up one of your arms, ie. his primary defensive strategy, he'll turn his head to the side so that if you try and work with your free arm the only available target is the back of his head. Here's an example of him doing it http://i.imgur.com/hH0uhSG.jpg Jack Reiss, who was on Rodriguez's case all night even though Ward was initiating a lot of the rough stuff and preventing Rodriguez from working with his holding, cautioned Rodriguez about that at which point Rodriguez had to point out to him that Ward was turning his head to the side. Of course Reiss didn't care about that though. http://i.imgur.com/Ch8Xi98.jpg
Barrera is ranked #23 Wade is ranked #11 when is Ward's cherry picking axx going to fight somebody in the top 20?
Rumor has it Ward has not been fighting because he's been in touch with several doctors to have a metal plate surgically implanted in his head before the Kovalev fight. Andre Dirrell's doctor, Dr Shaw Hi, is capable of performing such a procedure but he's out of the country and Andre is too scared to leave Jokeland.
