    John Conteh by a comfortable 15 round decision. John had a lot of underrated skills, as seen in his title bouts against Jorge Ahumada, in 1974, and Alvaro Yaqui Lopez, in 1976, both wins by decision. He had a good left jab, was quick, a good right hand, and a good counter puncher. Andre Ward is also very good, as seen in kayoing Sergey Kovolov. Very quick hands, movement, and can adapt to his opponents style, Conteh, naturally bigger than his adversary in this one, natural 175 pounds.

    Ward by close but clear decision. Much more special boxer. Strong, ring IQ, skill, able to adjust mid-fight.

    Ward all the way. A lifetime winner against a game loser.
