I hear there is talk of this fight. I havent seen much of Ward in awhile. I remember he has pretty good boxing skills... not sure about his chin.
How do you think this fight would play out?
Ward should be able to do enough to decision Miranda over 12. If Miranda pressure's Ward enough he may be able to hit him cleanly enough to wobble him. If Andre gets wobbled, it's goodnight.
Should be a great match.
I thought Pantera flew off the deep end and was talking about Mickey Ward. That would have been wierd! I think when you say Ward in the boxing world, it still defaults to Mickey Ward. However I should have known better considering Miranda's current division.
Mikey Ward... hmmmm now that's one tough bastard. If Andre has a chin like him, Pantera is in deep shit!
Ward KO Miranda...Ward is to techinally sound for Miranda IMO and Miranda will get beat to the punch all night.
Ward has some very quick hands and dude is real young! That's why they bringin him along so slowly cuz he's only what 24? 25? He's quick, has endurance and one of the most profitable areas in the nation behind him. Yay area baby, Dre Ward gonna be sick.
Ward wins a clear decision. Too quick and Miranda wont be able to find him.
That's actually a good fight for him to start to get his name among the other 168s, he's gotta make a name for himself now.
I have never seen Ward, but this fight would be a good measuring stick as to what level of fighter Miranda really is. He has so far failed at the A-level. If he wins this fight wouldn't it be fair to say that he passed the B-level?

This would be a good fight, and a major step up for Ward. It'd either be Miranda by KO or Ward by decision. I'm not too sure to be honest. My gut reaction was Miranda by KO, so I guess for the poll's sake I'll pick Miranda.
Ward wins by late round KO. He wears down Miranda like Pavlik but Dre ain't as hard hittin so it gonna be wit fast combos. Dre Ward puttin bay area boxing on the map baby!
I see Ward has stopped his last 7 of 8 opponents. Some decent fighters too. What changed? Before that he didnt have many stoppages.

Ward would probably outbox Miranda but if Miranda catches him, it would be lights out. Ward can be caught when he switches and squares himself up quite a bit so there's a chance for Miranda to land a big right hand. Either Ward by decision or late knockout or Miranda by come from behind knockout.
Miranda wouldnt touch Ward. Pantera should go after bigger fish.
Pantera needs to beat a guy like Ward to get some respect back and force the top guys to give him a shot.
If these two fight, they'll be the mandatory to Froch-Taylor I think.
This may be true, but still wouldnt mean much. It is the WBC and we all know that being a mandatory in that sanction doesnt mean shit. You could be sitting their forever and never force the fight.
It would be at 168lbs (or close to it).
Yea, I hear Dirrell is a tough fighter. I have yet to see him.
I meant to type 168. I was thinking 175 because Miranda should be fighting there imo.
Direll is really damn good. Miranda could trouble him at times, but he's a really good boxer with a really good offensive game.
