Could Ward move up to CW and capture a title..? Could he fight guys on average 3 stone heavier than himself..? No. Andre Ward would not even move up to 175 to face Dawson. Technically and physically David Haye is more talented than Andre Ward, physically he has done nothing that is comparable to a CW moving up to heavyweight and capturing a World Title in a superheavyweight era. He's never been undisputed at 168 ether. He's a very good fighter but people are getting out of hand.
Ward said in an interview after that his hand was hurting really badly, and because he thought he had bagged enough rounds, he decided to spend the last few on the move to avoid further injury to it.
Thats true, i do get sick of this british rear guard action, better to kick our guys in the balls at least we wont look fools if our guy gets beat by a yank. It really is sad. America is supposedly the world centre of boxing, thats gives american boxers a free ticket to the big time compared to british boxers. Rios is a typical example terribly overated got schooled by Abril
I knew Dawson would get beat by Ward, but ive never thought much of Dawson, he has assets but doesnt use them to the full, hes lazy and has no heart.
Froch`s prob in the ward fight was that he fought he could outbox Ward and catch him with a big punch, if they fight again he has to use speed of punch and hassle Ward, no try and box on the back foot
I honestly don't understand why certain people think froch vs ward would be so different if it was in nottingham
For the same reason he called out a 3 year retired 40 something Calzaghe. Twatishness on a humungous scale.
No he is not. He actually was expecting Ward to stop Froch before the fight and predicted as much. It was all to do with Froch's style of fighting. The fight went pretty much as we expected apart from the knockout. Maybe Froch chin just stood up well or maybe it was the fracture to Ward's hand. It tends to be easier to knockout a guy coming to fight and win as against an opponent who has come just to survive.
