I would have hoped he had fought more often and not wasted all his momentum. Hopefully he can stay active next year and build back some momentum.

not really.
the bika fight was not close. boring? yes. close? no. bika didn't come close to winning more rounds. the boone fight was ward's seventh, and he had been a pro for less than a year. it was a six round fight, so the knockdown was tough to come back from. ward showed a lot in that fight by being able to regain his composure and get back on the jab to finish strong.
if you want to call the boone fight "close" because ward was in danger i will agree with that. boone seriously hurt him with that uppercut.

About the Bika fight some crazy people on this site complained about Bika being robbed. I personally think Ward won a close but clear decision; 115-113 or 116-112. Ward did not look good in that fight and faded a little late in the fight. Ward has looked great since that fight but let's not try to rewrite history here.Last edited by BafanaBafana; 08-21-2013, 10:12 PM.
