Andre Ward

dirrell looks to be better than ward I completely disagree. Dirrell is raw as hell, Ward looks much more polished.

Ward's got potential to be a special fighter.

Ward needs to work on his technique and defensive fundamentals so he doesn't end up like ol Roy at the end of his career. He also backs straight up a little too much for my liking, but he will probably fix all of that in the near future. I don't like his impersonations of Roy though, you know the whole leaving his arm down pointing at the ground and then just using his quickness to fire a quick straight punch. A sharp hard puncher will eat that up.

I didn't see another thread about his fight last night, but I thought he looked pretty impressive. They're bringing him along at a steady pace, and he was ripping his shots really well last night: What do you thing are some areas of concearn? He still seems to leave himself open with some of the shots he throws, but he seems to have a deccent beard and can get away with it. Either way, the kid is pretty exciting to watch. Can't wait to see more of him. We haven't seen him take a proper punch yet, but his neck appears strong. Yeah, and those pussy shots that pussy white bartender landed don't count as proper punches. Lil ol bitch nigga needs to get the fuck outta the ring and stick to bartending, making the white race look bad in the ring like dat

What weight did Ward fight at in the Olympics? Light Heavyweight.

All of this talk is premature, this was what, his 6th fight? Agree completely-I dont believe nayone can tell how good a fighter really is until he takes his first big step up in comp and this is still at least a year...at the very least a year away.

i want to see the Andre's dirrell, and ward against the chin checkers of of NYC, who wins, in say 2 years? finally someone else mentions the chin checkers. they are my fav 2 prospects. i think codrington is the best and we have got some super fights comin gup in the next2-3 years between these 4. ward and dirrell come after them though, i guess stevens is the least skilled out of all4 but his power will carry him through though. and he definitely looked better in his last fight cause he showed better patience and accuracy, so hopefully he will get better as time goes on. codrington is the best one although dirrell is probably the most difficult style to deal with. i know stevens wants to fight ward cause they fought in the amatuers which if anyone has i definitely am willing to trade for it. if they all fought right now i say codrington beats them all, and stevens loses to them all. but i think in time stevens will be right behind codrington and beat both dirrell and ward in the future cause hes showing improvement and he had the most to improve on and hes on his way. btw i think all of them will beat jeff lacy in the future. those will all be great fights, but codrington with that very long reach and excellent skill will murder lacy from the outside. stevens lacy would be a great close inside fight. dirrell would confuse lacy with his similar to roy jones style. and ward i think is just better skilled and to quick for lacy. i love lacy but i like these guys better already and they havent had many fights. codrington has 9 and thats the most of any of them. anyway the super middleweight division will be one of the best in boxing in years to come instead of it being one of the worse like it has been for a while. you will have ward, dirrell, stevens, and codrington at the top, with lacy leading all contenders, instead of kessler, calfaggay, and green being the best. i have no doubt that any of the prospects that i have been talking about would knock any of them out at anytime now or later.

5th Fight.

I was more impressed with Andre Dirrell. He's more exciting to watch than Ward IMO.

I cant help but be pretty darn skeptical of this fella, I cant get the Kenny Kost fight out of my head, to me the punch wasnt even all that great and he got scrambled pretty badly. Judgement on this kid has to be reserved in my opinion until he fights a noteworthy opponent who can really show us what type of chin he has and that is probably a couple years away. My hunch is that the kid if hit cleanly is lacking in the chin department, he appears to have all the talent in the world but I just dont know about his beard, again my hunch is that the kid when tested is not going to take a punch all too well.

It would be a double KO. Anyone have a fight of him they can upload for me?

andre ward vs johnn duddy...five years from now who wins???

I hope his next match is in the the Jones-Tarver undercard I would enjoy watching it.... I missed his fight last night but I'm sure FSN will replay it...

He looked just about flawless the other day but he was in there with a guy who was about five foot five. To me it seems like he gets hit to much considering all the quickness and hand and foot speed he has. But I think he definitly could be a star in the making.

That is also my area of concern.He sometimes leaves him self open but with time he'll get better. :boxing:

Yes, I was very impressed by Ward.. he's getting better and better every fight.. and He's already over came adversity from his second fight where he was rocked and came back.. he already has a few tools, like how he holds u off with that arm in your face and Jab, then follow with a straight hand.. He's very promising, i love it too because he just so happens to be from my town, Oakland, Ca..
