The boy can't fight on the inside. ward will get in his cheast, and beat him up on the inside. If Direll gets on the outside, then guess what? Ward is the better boxer there too, and will hold his own from far out.

No way is Ward a better boxer than Dirrell.
5 years from now after Ward wins this tournament & is the #1 fighter in the world the haters will be swearing up & down he has never fought anybody. lol
If Ward went on to win the tournament and go undefeated in the process, I can see that :lol1:
I don't know about all that Dirrell is a lot better than I thought he boxed beautiful
He is alot better now, I hate how choose to fight against Froch. Weather that was by choice or inexperience who knows, but he allow Froch to get that decision by not being active enough at times. He was more active with the last couple of rounds in that fight. I hated Froch/Dirrell, it looked kind of like Dirrells performance against Stevens which people do not like!
He looked like he literally ran most of the fight against Froch, but he fought beautifully against AA... Too bad about the final results in a DQ win though... Doubt anyone wants to win like that. But his performance was looking pretty solid before that.
You guys actually think Ward can outbox Dirrell on the outside? We'll see, Ward is good but I don't think he's that good.
Ward probably wants to fight Dirrell in a close-quarters the majority of the fight. If its on the outside Dirrell will dictate the pace of the fight. If its on the inside Ward will win... Will see what happens.
Fight highly favors Ward if he does alot of his inside fighting, but if Dirrell fights on the outside and controls the pace of the fight then wards gonna be ****ed.

You're forgetting Dirrell's greatest asset on the inside

His Gumby stratagy, as soon as Ward gets inside Dirrell will look like a icecube melting into a pool of water at Ward's feet. If he was scared of Froch on the inside his legs will turn into bubblegum and he'll crumble to the ground so the ref can order him to his feet and break them.
Ward's inside game................nullified. Checkmate.
youre right....and i think none of the super six could beat zgahe.........lucian bute on the other hand could be better than zaghe......but thats just me....
Lucian Butte is nice. I think at some point him & Ward will meet for supremacy. That is 1 I will gladly pay for!
All that matters is that Ward and Dirrell are by far the best in the tournament and that the winner at the end will be an American with an exciting skillset.
I wonder if it's within the rules of the tournament for Ward to forfeit his next fight to Dirrell instead of fighting him?
If Ward beats Green he will have enough points to advance already, maybe he will want to see his buddy advance as well.

Ward and Bute may be fighting each other down the line depending on what happens in this tourney. The supermiddle weight has a lot of talented fighters, right now I honestly don't know who the best is so thats why I'm keeping my mouth shut.
Ward is 100 times better than Dirrell. Better stamina and better hand speed = Dirrel biting the dust like Freddie Mercury.
Hand Speed: Dirrell > Ward
Stamina: We will see. So far, Dirrell has been in w/ better pressure fighters who are more mentally tough to wear opponents down.

The fuck are you smoking? Dirrell easily has better handspeed and to you Bully Dirrell is also easily the better outside fighter. Ward is more seasoned and much better on the inside. I swear the analytical skills of some of yall are ridiculous.
What do you think happened to Joe Calzaghe after he beat Lacy, Kessler? He get zilch credit for that from the haters. Also Calzaghe has other good names on his resume like Sakio Bika(the contender winner, and I picked Bika to win the contender series even before the ending), prime Sheika, prime Reid, notable win over Eubank. Calzaghe also beat former world champion Byron Mitchell, and Charles Brewer. But then again people forget alot.
Joe C. was 1 of the great champions. Any of these haters who would say otherwise is an idiot & doesn't deserve to be listened to in a boxing conversation.
I highly doubt that. Ward likes to bull rush, Dirrell likes to pull back. So I don't expect all that slick shit Ward does to work against Dirrell. I also don't think the referee is going to allow Ward to keep his lead hand up to keep targeting where Dirrell's head will be like he did against Kessler. Dirrell needs to stop slipping and Ward needs to stop bull rushing.

direll has more balls than floyd and ward combined.......did'nt expect him trade punches with a guy like AA and he did plenty of times.....i blame that ref for fukking up that fight .............
Didn't you say Dirrell was going to lose?
I'll bet 100K that Ward headbutts Dirrell at least once or more times during the fight. Any takers?
He's an inside fighter at times, so I'm sure their will be a couple headbutts. Intentional? No one knows really...
