Ive been saying this since the tourney was announced Ward was going to win it all and last night he took one step closer as he out classed the favorite Mikkel "The Viking Warrior " Kessler !! Kessler should be able to bounce back and beat Froch and get the WBC title ..But for Ward who in this tourney can really beat him ? Froch can be eaisly out boxed Dirrell could be the toughest since he's a boxer JT well I doubt he has anything leftr in the tank Double A too stationary for the likes of Ward ~ Be prepared to crown Ward the best of the super 6 !!!!
I don't think he will go undefeated but he is a good bet to win the tourney along with AA and Kessler
Excellent display by Ward no doubt. Was very impressed with his array of skills but thought the referee was way too byast towards him which left a bit of a bad taste. I still see MK beating Froch & Taylor and we could yet see these two guys face off again although i doubt MK will want to fight Ward in The States again.
Agreed there were times he got sloppy last night that Mikkel couldn't capitilize on maybe Double A could ..
Abraham has a hell of a better defense than Kessler, so his chances are still pretty damn good. Dirrell's going to find however that he can't run from Ward the way he ran from Froch. I see an easy 3rd round for Ward, but round two is still going to be hell.
Ward Dirrell is going to be the most boring fight of the whole tourney watch ..Like I said Double A poses the most danger .He def has the power to get Ward's respect he just needs to catch him .
Well, lets not bestow legendary status upon Ward just yet. He surely outclassed Kessler, but who knows how he'll fare against the other top guys in the tournement? Much less predictable than Kessler, and much harder hitting is Abraham, and Dirrell could give anyone fits. This tournement has such a diversity of skills and styles, it's clear that nothing is clear. The underdogs have become the favorites and visa-versa. There will be more surprises. That's what happens when all the best in a division fight one another. Too bad it doesn't happen in other weight classes, 147 for example.
As long as nobody tells the ref it is a boxing fight and not a headbutting fight, nobody can beat Ward he's too good in headbutting... Now he only needs to headbutt his next 4 opponents to win the Super Six... I thought Super Six were a boxing tournament... But now we know why Ward insists to fight at home - they are mistaking headbutting for boxing there, and he knows away from home he would have to do boxing instead of headbutting, and he knows he is way not that good...
He didn't outclass kessler, he got defeated by the cuts, by the dirty tactics, he wasn't beat by ward.
Not me anymore, I said he was the least likely to win it all prior to the tournament and now I believe hes the favorite. Ward has rejuvenated my pride in U.S boxing again, maybe olympic Gold medals arent so overrated afterall lol.
here on planet earth fighters dont win matches by being a human punching bag, you think JMM beat mayweather as well???atsch
Boxing fans be ready for Kessler Ward 2 for a unification bout ..I have no doubt in my mind that Kessler becomes champion again after he beats Froch and Ward will be there waiting in the wings thats unless Taylor pulls a rabbit out of his hat ..
