    i would like 2 see ward get more experience. 13-14 pro fights is not a lot in your first 3 years of pro fighting, especially against the type of guys ward has been fighting.

    i missed the last fight, but drunk larry said that he looked good and more professional. before, he was relying too much on athleticism, sort of like a roy jones, but only roy jones could pull that stuff off. ward has the speed and athleticism but he needs more time to work on technique and all. his chin is a concern but maybe he was weaker at 160 and is stronger physically now that he's moved up. the drop in weight from athens to the professional ranks was quite extreme.

      No one has hurt him yet, he sparred with some champions instead of fighting journeyman and i think he is gonna be a big force in the weight class

        he's the next TRAVIS SIMMS, simms was an undefeated fighter and nobody knows who he is, now he's past his prime and lost his last fight, took a 3 year lay off because he didn't have a promoter

          simms is like 100 years old and was stuck being inactive because of promoter squabbles with don king.

          ward is more forunate. he's young and already has somewhat of a name in boxing b/c of athens.

            he was put down hard in his fight with Boone and barly beat the count. I was at that fight and it was a hell of a shot. He showed heart getting back up.

                Simms is still a good fighter but ya he could end up like that but I doubt it because of his backing by HBO and I do not think they are going to drop him anytime soon.

                    Running out of patience eh?

                    In a related story someone hired a Mexican lady who will clean their entire house and make it ****k and span for 100 ****ing dollars a week.

                    How is a rookie ***got who needs to eat a cheeseburger skinny **** going to complain about a payday when he hasn't fought anyone?
