    i think so, he was taught by the old-school

    bill miller really molded him into an absolute beast.

    I think Ward has the best inside game I've seen in the last twenty years.

    Yes. A pure technician on the inside. Moves his head constantly, very tough to hit clean.

    He's definitely up there. Real skilled on the inside and clean as well.

    He's good, yes. Up there with B-Hop and Ward, I'd guess.

    Yes he is definitely up there, bobs, weaves, slips counters he could do it all on the inside without having to rely on clinching.

    Perhaps some competition from JC Chavez who had the ability to maintain his efforts. ?
