There was tons of holding in the Miranda fight. And Im not so sure Id bet on the JT fight because we are talking about JT here, he just got KTFOd 2 times in a row, so even though Ward has very little power JT might not be able to take much abuse at this point in his career.To make matters worse I expect Ward to use his usual tactics unless the ref warns him/deducts points, if I was in Taylors corner Id be all over the ref before the fight. Hatton no longer gets away with it why should Ward?
Ill think about the bet.
Lol...ok. I'm not going to argue with you. Just let me know if you're willing to bet. And it's at least 100k.
I watched Ward beat Miranda with "no power", and Miranda broke AA's jaw! And there was very little holding by Ward in that fight.
Ward also recieved a good headbutt early in the fight and he recovered quickly from that. How about a bet if you're so confident in Ward having no power, Crazylegs?

I think JT still has what it takes to take out Ward and win a world title.
Not sure, he already has stamina issues and Wards holding will probably take a toll on JT. JT needs to time Ward diving in. Uppercuts galore and just get rough back with him. JT can do it he has nothing to lose and everything to prove he needs to fight like it. Ward has no power so thats a good thing for JT.
Yeah, i was talking about Ward. My memory isn't what it used to be, and i can't remember many of JT's older fights when he was in his prime. Didn't realize he got gift decisions there. We had a kind of boxing "blackout' in the northeast on time-warner cable during 2000-2008 when they went digital. Hbo and showtime stopped showing a lot of fights. I was pissed, i missed so many. Now they are finally starting to show some of them during the week.
Oh ok. I think Ward is going to the finals but I don't know who's going to win the tournament because I think the scoring system is poor. I think Dirrell will give AA problems but I don't know who will win.
I think it will be the hardest fight of Ward's career. As for the outcome, I think Ward would probably retain his title, but I think Jermain would finish the fight on his feet.

I think so too. This is a great opponent to guage his skills against. Not a tremendous puncher. This should be an excellent fight.
What fighter are you referring to...Ward?
I said the JT fighting in Memphis because he received alot of hometown decisions there.

when he fought bhop he was caught with a the right hand time and time again...andre ward throws it 45865943 times faster than bhop and maybe with more power he wrecks jt nobody besides maybe me can beat andre ward

I can see the same, JT is still a great boxer. The problem is when he slug it out with his opponent then he got caught. Im willing to say JT box ward to a late tko or decision.
I don't remember much of JT past fights when he was in his prime, But i dunno if even a prime JT would beat ward, imo...maybe. It would be close. Ward is looking good enough to take the tourney.
Yeah, in his day JT was great, and I have always liked him...hes a class act, in and out of the right. I like him enough to hope he doesn't continue in the tourney. I don't want to see him lose anymore. Great guy, had a great career, but i fear his days are pretty much over.
Like i said, all he's gotta do is get past AA and he's got it. Nobody else is going to beat him. If anybody thinks they can, and are willing to bet on it, pm me.

The old Jermain fighting in Memphis would beat Ward by UD. But yep, the date has been set for him to fight Ward.

a jermain of old i'd give a good chance of beating ward
now however he's mentally not tough enough is he still gonna fight ward or he is being replaced?

The JT against Froch, MAYBE.
The JT against Abraham, NO.
I don't think JT is coming back. He was gone after those Hopkins wins.
He fought Hopkins, a draw to Wright, two guys who were really JMW. Fought a true MW in Pavlik and got KO'd. Hopkins ruined him.
