How Is the Way WARD fights inside In ANY way LEGAL???

[Walterson]

You guys do know that Allan Green has a really good left hook right?!

Andre Ward was just doing what it takes to win and removing his opponents best weapon.

Fighting out of range and using his jab a lot, whilst holding his right up high to avoid Green's left. If you watch the fight over, you'll notice Green throwing his left a lot, lucky Ward had it up there to protect himself. If he'd had thrown more combinations he'd have left himself open to it.

Also, closing the distance by fighting on the ropes to prevent Green from using his hook. His inner game was great.

Theirs too much criticism for someone executing the perfect game plan.

Plus SO WHAT if it wasn't entertaining. He's still beating the best out there and will continue to do so. Winning's what counts the most.... I'm glad he fights in a safety first sort of way, I would and any of you would to.

this is exactly how i felt about the fight, except i thought his tactics were illegal for the whole fight. his holding and hitting was a joke, but the use of his head was worse from my perspective. i too couldnt believe that green didnt complain about it. the commentators were shamelessly hyping ward too, and by the end it was making me cringe.

i have been impressed by ward but quite frankly he beat a c-level fighter last night in a dog turd fight that was nowhere near as impressive as the shameless commentators were making out. comparing him to sugar ray leonard is a ****in joke. if and when ward fights a top class fighter with unbiased officiating i will take him seriously. until then he remains unproven in my eyes...

lol, so i take it you dont like exciting fighters then? his gameplan was excellent but if he wants to be a star he will have to do better than that against c-level fighters like green. green is not one of the best out there. what do u watch boxing for if not to be entertained? i find that point of view bizarre...

Ward is nothing like Sugar Ray Leonard.

I love every bit of boxing just like true boxing fans.

All I'm saying is give credit where it's due.

Also, you say be more entertaining. Can I ask you, how could he have done this?

using his movement throwing more combinations counter punching sitting down on more punches seemed like he could;ve really hurt green had he opened up

He had excellent movement in the middle of the ring - i didn't see a sittin duck

He had to be wary about throwing combinations - green has a very good left hook, so Ward had to keep his right up high at all times... we all know that one punch can change anything right? and Ward has been chin checked before

Counter Punching - didn't you see this?

Sitting down on punches - didn't you see this too?

not really and it was clear after a few rounds that green had absolutely nothing for ward

that left hook of green was never thrown with any conviction i think he caught ward early on with one and that was about it

all i saw was a guy throwing one shot then holding then doing the same thing occasional jab to the stomach it was boring i don't care what way you want to put it

[IIIX JACK XIII]

I hate how more and more fighters seem to get away with excessive holding and hitting, it makes for an ugly fight and its against the rules yet more and more refs allow it. Hatton did it all the time and for that reason i was never a fan nor am i a fan of wards style.

[Hayehammer]

No.

That's the reason Ward insisted on having all his fights on Goossen promoted cards in Oakland.

The commentators and referee were disgraceful tonight.

agree! this is absolutely bull****! gary shaw should do something and dont give the advantage to the ward camp fighting in oakland!
Give us a fair fight dirrell vs ward!
