dudes a brilliant fighter gold medalist a "real" champ (didnt fight for a vacated strap and beat the 168 favorite) he stays busy... works inside and out etc etc many confuse his in-fighting with clinching, but WARD works a mutha****a while he's there...unlike other fighters who just hold, grab, and hold again....... and he would smash any ****en version of calzaghe, easy !!!
The poor guy only gets hate because of rejects like you who cant make a civilised post and cannot resist throwing something in that is guaranteed to wind people up.
many claim he is a "hopkinsesque" fighter....and if i'm not mistaken, you arent a huge fan of bernard, no? i like ward nonetheless. i think kessler would have been w/in his right to play rough right back but i'm happy about his success. sky is the limit for the kid.
Real question, why the nuthuggin? the fights vs dirrel and froch will reveal more bout how good he is
He gets a lot of hate because he beat a ESB favorite here in Kessler after that demolition job he put on Kessler his fate was sealed and he had an instant army of haters to hate on him. Up until that point he was an unknown with most being indifferent about him.
bernard is a piece of **** dirty ass fighter......ward aint he fights nice and clean on the inside, throws a lot and stays hella active even when on the outside....
Nuthugging???? WTF are you on about? He simply stated that WQard is a reat fighter who is pretty accomplished at this stage of his career. Some people don't know the true meaning of the word "nuthugger"... Good thread Freddy...
i think so.... ward would be switching back and forth to southpaw, giving angles, jabbing, and smothering joe on the inside with brilliant in-fighting.......
Exactly! WTF is this **** about? If Ward was some Britich Soccer-Dude boxer, these motha****as would be claiming he was the next best thing...
Brits dont have a reason to hate ward tho, he beat someone calzaghe already beat and then a C level fighter. The reason the brits probally react the way they do is i presume is because so many threads just have to mention how Ward would destroy calzaghe ect. That is bait no matter what way you look at it.
Ward relies more on his awkwardness than he does any of his athletic abilities. He forces the fight on the inside with his head on his opponents chest and throwing awkward in close shots, and calling Hopkins dirty, you gotta hand it to Ward aswell, he does know how to use that head of his, in more than one way. Calzaghe has far better work rate, faster hands and a lot more top level experience, im sorry but Calzaghe takes this one for me.
