Andre Ward is the future

[ИATAS]

Just that I can't see the comparison. B-Hop was much more coordinated, a lot slicker with his dirtiness. He also worked the inside alot better.

I didn't mean to say Ward is as good as a younger Bernard Hopkins, because he's not and never will be, I just meant he reminds me of hopkins. To a lesser extent of course.

Not gonna lie, Dirrell did have that kid mentality. His facial expression against AA (When he got dropped) reminded me of Cory Spinks's; when Judah caught him in the rematch. But he has matured though. When you factor in Dirrell's elusiveness, size (He's more of a LHW), athletic ability...I don't see Ward beating him at all. Ward isn't much of a puncher either. So that alone would make Dirrell much more consistent.

In fact I'll be betting real money on this. I know Ward is gonna be the favorite too

This is one fight I won't be betting on. Stylewise I think Dirrell gets it, but one thing I'll say is that we have no way of knowing how Dirrell has matured, he may be the same way, plus that shot could have had some mental effect on him. It's a bit of an unknown. Ward is one tough dude though and refuses to lose. He'll do whatever he has to necessary, like hopkins, to win the fight despite their friendship.

You're right about Andre Ward's strong will to win.

Just that I'm so confident in Dirrell's chances here. I never felt this confident about an outcome since Pacquiao beat both Cotto and Clottey. To be able to break Dirrell down mentally, Ward is gonna need alot more punching power. AA had both power and defense. No offense to Ward but I see Ward getting tattooed on the outside/ mid range. It's gonna get ugly man

I'm probably more excited for this then Mayweather-Pacquiao.

Ward has a lot of holes in his game and people are putting to much stock in the Kessler win it was a good win but I always thought he was gonna beat Kessler anyway

Ward is very hyped around these boards, just saying..
