    Compare Ward to Mayweather.:patsch

    I hope Andre Ward does not get hyped up to be something he's not, he's a good kid, but c'mon.. a future star, the second coming of Floyd Mayweather?

    Puhlease.:rofl

    He has stamina issues he was holding on against a fighter with a non existent workrate he is like Taylor mark II but with even worse stamina.

    I watched the fight Miranda was barely throwing after round 4 was just telegraphing the big right now and then.

    Wasn't even using a jab, had ward not hugged he would have been stopped by miranda.

    He employed the tactic because he was tired.

    I thought Ward looked more like Roy Jones Jr more than mayweather. Not as good as Roy, but a similar style.

    Yeah you can add to that that apperently he takes a pretty good punch too...cause Miranda did hit him good a few times and he responded well everytime.


    Personally though I think the future of the Division is thay Russian knockout artist that was on the undercard of the Hatton Pacquiao fight.

    That Koborov kid I think his name was??? Well have to wait and see, he has to fight someone that will throw a punch at him before we can call him the furture of anything.

    Floyd?, they arent similar at all really.....maybe in theory, but not in pure style

    but uhh, yeah, he impressed me, i'd favor him over Froch at this point

    but i still can't see him beating Bute or Kessler

    Looks a good fighter.

    It's difficult to get a read on his defence because Miranda was not trying to box. He's always been fairly one handed, but especially so in this fight he kept marching forward not throwing punches and then looking for a right hand.

    His power didn't look too great the way he throws shots.

    Ward didn't do anything I didn't expect him to do. When it became clear that Miranda had given up, he failed to knock him out. Bute, Froch and Kessler are better fighters than Miranda and as yet they have never buckled under pressure.
