Power is OVERRATED! one thing I love about the Klitchko's, even though they know they have Power, that is not all they depend upon to get wins
Dirrell and Ward both have good Boxing Skills, this fight is going 12 Rounds FOR SURE! it is going to be a chess match, the smarter fighter will win by Decision
I honestly don't know who has more Power, I have seen more Power FROM Dirrell thus far in this Tournament but that is not to say Ward don't have Power, Ward stays with his game plan he doesn't chase KO's not only that but Ward is usually way up on the cards so he doesn't need to go for the KO
Well my thoughts..
I think Dirrell won't engage in in-fighting.
Green could've stop Ward on the inside the whole fight.
Just clinch and the ref will seperate.
Dirrell will box with Ward keep him at a distance.
Andre is taller and has a reach advantage.
Hes also faster.
Ward jumps in at times.
Dirrell can catch him on the way in.
Ward has a experience advantage.
And I can't see Ward hurting Dirrell unless AA ruined his chin.
Dirrell can win this.
Agreed....Direll could be the stealing this tournanment, If he fights tall and uses his jab effectively..I like his chances..
Explain please.
Ward is just much more polished and composed. He would've beat Froch 10-2, Dirrell nicked him 7-5 on my card.
Ward knows how to fight on the inside and is great at any distance. He has much better balance than Dirrell, who makes a boxing ring look like an ice rink at times. Ward wouldn't give away rounds like Dirrell did against Froch, who obviously lacked confidence in his ability to fight toe-to-toe into late in that late. I also think Ward is a better switch-hitter than Dirrell, though both are supremely gifted in that regard.
Dirrell has the edge in power and a slight edge in speed. That won't be enough to keep Ward from roughing him up and outworking him.

Dirrell has more power. Made Froch do a dance step and had arguably 2 KD's against Abraham. Ward is far superior as a fighter, however.
Explain please.
i dont know how someone can ask this question seriously
dirrell punches alot harder than ward
I agree completely but as you can see we got two people who think Ward hits harder.
Hilarious.

well i wouldnt say alot but i agree that its a no-brainer
Hmm i think Direll has a little bit more power in his punches based on what i have seen. He hurt froch a bit and put Abraham down (He was offbalanced i know)
