The deduction from his purse of $65k may hurt but the fact the whole camp looked to be a total shambles. Nothing JG could say other than Ward looks bored in there mid-fight as a trainer he also comes out of this badly,terrible effort by all involved.
Mentally beat before the bell rang.He believed he could beat Abraham. He figured he had the square root of fcuk all chance of beating ward so didnt bother. Shame really
You can throw a fight by turning up with the clear intention of doing nothing..! He signed for the fight , at 172- above his normal weight as we know. He never struggled with the weight with AA where he believed he had a chance did he? He turned up, went through the motions, threw a minimal amount of shots, got stopped , went home to count his money. Neither head nor heart was interested.
After last night performance I'd say he's far from world level. Yes he went 24 rds with Abraham, and gave a good account first time around - but I would put 15/20 super middles above Paul smith right now. I knew this before last night, the only thing that has shocked me is his all round attitude & lack of ambition, which watching north west news for the last month all he's said is how he's intent of a good account of himself. Fail
