What's the big deal about Ward?

You might find him boring, but the "big deal" is obviously that what he does is effective.

Look at the K brothers, they hardly bring the house down during there fights do they. But they use there capabilities to the maximum and get the "W" time and time again.

 

He doesn't grab, he stays on the inside with his footwork. Its not his fault the guys he fights cant do **** on the inside. He is one of the greatest inside fighters I have ever seen.

The deal is he happens to be very very good.

That not obvious.

 

Ward has a great resume. Froch, Kessler, Dawson, Abraham, Bika, Miranda, Green. All were dominant.

He's a great fighter...

 

thank you.

 

More trolling. ESB has gone to ****.

 

lol no. you must be be full of **** too. theres no way kessler beat ward, ward out boxed kessler and made him look like a clown. and if you cant see that then i bet your a brit who DKSAB

 

Last I looked, I'm not black, (100% white bread) 'n Ward took Kessler apart like a cheap watch. Ward's not scintillating or a home run hitter, but he's the best in-fighter in the business. Look again how he dismantled 'n neutered Froch -- a beast with other fighters.

 

He needs to leave Oakie. Used to be the case if you wanted to make it as a boxer you had to go to the States. Times have changed. If Ward wants to make a name for himself, he has to cross the pond and face the Man of the division, the cash cobra of the division, and do it in the Home of 168, the UK. They could sell out Nottingham football stadium and half the crowd wouldnt even know the headbutting Irishman's name

 

That's it right there. That's why fundamentals like footwork matter as well. Many fighters, including Froch, can't fight for a damn on the inside. They need space or they are completely useless.

Froch is just a cry baby because Ward took his soul, seriously. He had no answers and was getting punished on the inside. Froch got taken to boxing school, he needs to shut the **** up.

 

He's a lineal champ and in modern boxing there's still a fair few divisions without one. That makes him a big deal for me.

 

Calzaghe ud 12 Ward if/when he comes back

 

My favorite thing about how Ward fights is how he interrupts his opponent.

Whatever it is that they think they're about to do, Ward interrupts them.

It's as if he watches the opponent decide on a course of action and then at some point between decision and execution they get punched unexpectedly in the face and he circles away or instead grabs and turns them and then as the opponent accedes to the clinch, he pushes them away and smacks them up again and lets make it a combo this time into the bargain.

It's like they never ever get to do what they want to do and they get more and more frustrated and discouraged which in turn makes it easier for Ward and so on...

It's beautiful :thumbsup.
