Andre Ward Vs Arthur Abraham who takes it?

PPL on this thread crack me up! Ima fan of AA but he got outboxed by Froch!! Froch is not a great boxer. Speed kills, and Ward will go to the body of AA early and coast 12 rounds, AA has a punchers chance but thats really bout it, Ward doesnt gas out like Dirrell so I dont c AA catching Ward at all.

Abraham isn't Kessler: A.A. will not be reading the boxing book like Kessler; he wil close the boxing book and swing it acroos Ward's head and tell him to come on and bring it. This will be a tough fight because A.A. isn't about points and staying in straigt lines; he comes to fight; he comes to KO a MFer. Ward can't be so careless against A.A. Can't wait to see this fight. The problem with fighting a guy like Abraham is you know, one mistake and its all over, it might put a young guy like Andre on edge.

Im taking Arthur Abraham to beat Ward fairly easily. His style doesn't come forward and he 'shells' up with his defense. Abraham doesn't get bullied and because he has thunder in both hands, he is always one punch from drastically changing the outcome of a fight.

Abraham literally only has to land one punch, it will be difficult, but 12 rounds is a long time....

depends where the fight is. if ward is given that same referee from last night, then he could head butt and elbow his way to victory. Don't think so as AA would apply the same - he's no choirboy like Kessler...

Abraham and Ward are the most intelligent inside the ropes as both share the credo "Not the strongest, thoughest, most talented and technically sounded will win but the smartest!"

Ward is techincally sound and would cause Abraham problems with his speed and movement. I think Abrahams power might just be abit much for him though. Abraham by late TKO.

I think Ward would outbox Abraham. But I'm not all that confident in my pick because Ward sometimes lunges in asking to be nailed with a left hook. Kessler never took advantage of it.

yeah but what if he is gettin hit and held ,headbutted ,rabbid punched,? ward fights dirtyy Thing is that AA isn't the classy boxer you have seen vs. Taylor at times. If someone tries to headbutt, elbow him etc. he'll either stay calm if not effected by it and works his gameplan or, if effected, he tries to either blast the other guy (like he did with Elcock) or use elbows, rabbit punching, knee-kicks, kidney-punches, low blows to give his opponent something to think about (he did so vs. Gardner and Jantuah...

Thing is, Ward is used to fighting backwards and being pressured. Abraham is a defensive mastermind, and Ward hasn't fought someone with a great defensive shell. Taylor had fought Winky, so the same gameplan and experience crossed over to the Abraham fight, and he was still KO'd. Difference between Abraham and Kessler is, Kessler can really only throw straight punches, he has terrible hooks. Abraham can throw any type of punch and KO you. Unorthodoxed styles like Wards are pretty much invulnerable to straight punches, as seen against Kessler, but they can get caught by hooks much easier. very true BG

Unlike kessler Abraham gets more intense each round and is harder to hit because he smaller and can KO you. Abraham can let boxers punch his guard for the first 3 rounds and still has the confidence to win the fight, if his strength rly does carry over in the new weight class he will be unstopable. yeah but what if he is gettin hit and held ,headbutted ,rabbid punched,? ward fights dirtyy

Taylor is not a slick black fighter he is hybrid of athletic and euro powerhouse. wtf is with u and race last guy that kept bringing up race got banned anyway no idea ward surprised me lastnight even tho he fought really dirty i thinkk aa is a lil slower then kessler so un less AA lands some big ones which he can i see ward roughing him up for 12 another note i think froch wont let ward get away with those tactics and will beat ward and im also picking taylor 2 ud ward n capture the title in an upset taylor can box very well and punch like a mule

i said from day one abraham was gonna ice taylor and ward was gonna outclass kessler.. just saying :D before this whole thing started i had abraham favored to win with ward as my second pick. hes the only one i can see beating abraham, too me its almost a toss up but i still give a slight advantage to abraham.

Ward could get knocked out by Abraham/Froch in the later rounds but he could definitely outbox them maybe AA not froch i dnt froch stand a chance after wat i seen yesterday

I don't know anymore. Ward surprised me What he said. However, I have have to choose I'm going with Abraham by KO/TKO. If that doesn't happen I think it'll be Ward by UD.

Arthur Abraham would catch him at one point, he has ko power in both hands.
