Quit saying Ward held Miranda to a win

[DrewWoodside]

The topic creator is in denial though, no one said Ward didn't win. It was just not a pretty fight to watch because of that ****. The topic creator is magically blind when it comes to Ward tieing Miranda up and holding and hitting.



Pacquiao and Cotto are entertaining fighters who don't rely on tying up in fights... You're not too bright with some of your replies. Pacquiao and Cotto don't look to tie up fighters so they tire them out that way.

I'll say this though. He must have a better plan going in against Kessler. Unlike Miranda who has possibly the worst footwork in the game and zero jab. Kessler while a bit mechanical definitely has the ability and skillset not to get caught in constant muggings tonight.

lol... funny stuff....

I agree, but it was ugly. Also, Ward makes pretty questionable use of his left forearm elbow. If you can't hit and hold, i'm sure it's not encouraged to repeatedly push up against someone's neck with your forearm. He does it a bunch at the beginning of part 4. Either way Ward won the fight. Miranda's style is very vulnerable to anyone with decent technical skill and natural ability.

Miranda's only chance to win was to blast Ward with the powerful right hand which he loads up on and looks to do in every fight......Ward fought smart and took away Miranda's only chance to will by landing and moving out of range or landing and tying him up so he couldn't punch.....and Ward won 11 of 12 rounds in my view......I hope this fight will be much more action packed.

It will have to be more actionpacked. Ward trully only has one move. The Monster right. Kessler is way more balanced. Really makes me wonder why Allan Green wasn't bright enough to capitalize on Miranda's limitations.

Ward is too dynamic, fast, smart to lose to a mechanical fighter like Kessler.
Look at the Mundine fight, Kessler won but Mundine boxed well and definitely had his moments. And Ward is much better than Mundine.
Kessler has problems when quick fighters feint him, he gets a little confused.
I think Wards superb footwork, feinting and speed is what will make him the victor.. Him being in his hometown with a Cali ref doesnt hurt either!

Ward only has 1 move? REALLY? Are we talking about the Olympian Ward?? 1 move? Have you ever seen Ward fight? Doesnt sound like it.. Ward is as versatile as you can get.. Ward has a nice jab(not as good as Kesslers tho) good left hook, a good right hook, works the body, has a good uppercut..
Ward is solid all around offensively, good at everything but not great at 1 thing.
Throw that in with brilliant ring generalship, great reflexes and we have an awesome fighter.. Kessler fights 1 way, and if that way isnt working, he cant adjust. Ward can.. Kessler throws his jab, and works off of the jab to throw quick sharp combos.. Thats it.. If you get Kessler to start thinking, and doubting himself and its a wrap. Watch the Calslappy fight, he had no idea what to do

Ward was a little skittish against Miranda, but that was simply smart, not cowardice, and while there was plenty of holding, I've seen much worse. Ward's talent and skills had Miranda utterly outclassed. Kessler isn't Miranda. He's much faster, about a thousand times more skilled, and maybe a million times smarter.

Ward's only chance for a win here is a lucky punch KO. Hurt Kessler with something thrown from an odd angle that he doesn't see coming (early in a round) and then get him trapped and land enough that the ref stops it. I don't think he can put Kessler on the canvas for 10, it'll have to be a TKO.

Andre will most likely try and stay away from Kessler mostly, move in, throw a few, and get out quick, and try to steal rounds. I don't believe he has enough of a speed advantage to accomplish this, and will lose a decision if he tries. And if he tries to slug it out with Kessler, Mikkel wins by homicide.

Hey, sorry about that I meant Miranda not Ward. I feel bad that I accidentally set you off on a rant. My apologies!

Wards only way to win is by KO?? LOL
I think its the other way around with it being in Wards backyard and all.. The crowds gonna roar everytime Ward throws a punch. That influences judges, especially in a close fight.. No one is getting blown out this fight.

He had health problems during the time his colon was all cancer ridden I think.....he would easily smash Miranda in a rematch, if unhealthy he managed to still knock him down.
