    but ward has a limited arsenal. its a decent aray of offense but no where near tht of direll. but yes wards ability to adapt and fight his fight for 12 rounds is something that cannot be ignored.

    I've been more impressed with what i've seen of Dirrell so far, even in the first round of the Super 6...I thought Dirrell put on the better performance, even though he could have opened up more offensively against Froch. And when I say he put on the better performance, this could just be that I was more surprised with his performance.

    I can't wait for the bout between these two though.

    I agree. You cant say who has the best chin at this point either,Dirrell was caught when down against Abraham, and both have been down early in their careers to lesser fighters

    Ward seems to be the better ring general and better technically. Dirrell is faster in my view and more naturally talented. It's a toss up for me I'll just wait to see how this tournament ends not saying the one who makes it farther is better.

    Ward is much more versatile, and disciplined. I would say he's the better boxer. Dirrell has more power, is faster, and is more athletic.
