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

[Motofan]

Ward is one of the dirtiest fighters in the game. Alot of us have been saying it for a while. He is boring as fuuck to watch on top of the non stop dirty fighting. Problem is, he's good.

The benefits of fighting in your own back yard, you can get away with anything.

WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (22-0) convincingly warded off the Allan Green (29-2) challenge to retain his title via a shut out in the scorecards and remain undefeated to advance to the semifinals of the World Boxing Classic Super Six Tournament.

It was a one- sided exhibition by the talented 2004 Olympic gold medalist that put into question Allan Green’s choice as a replacement for Jermain Taylor in the said tournament. It was obvious that Allan Green was more bark than bite as he could not support his pre- fight pronouncements of dethroning Andre Ward.

Green was holding some, but it was Ward falling into his chest after every punch he threw and smothering the **** out of Green.

Ward always comes barreling in head first and just pushes himself into the other guy.

He's the initiator.

Almost seem like a mma fight

[!! Shawn]

The last 6 rounds of the fight he was fighting very much within the rules, but in the first 6 rounds there was a RIDICULOUS amount of holding and hitting.

BUT, the commentators didn't say peep about it, the ref didn't give any warnings, and most astonishing of all is the fact that Green never once complained about it!

Therefore, I conclude that I MUUUUUUST be missing something.

So can someone please explain to me how Wards style of in-fighting in that first 6 rounds was legal?

Is Holding and Hitting all of a sudden legal?

He wasn't holding that much, most of it was just pushing green around with his elbows.

I laughed when Ward once said 'Froch leads with the head'.

HOW IRONIC.

[SplitSecond]

the only thing dirty about wards game is his head, most refs will tell a fighter to keep his head up to avoid a butt

the suppossed "clinching" isn't even clinching, ward just gets inside and rakes you, it's usually the other guy that wraps up one of his arms or somethin

[shogunn]

I just watched it on DVR, literally fell asleep during the middle rounds, but it is late.

Ward needs to fight outside of the bay. Some other refs wouldnt allow all that clinching, but since he's homefield its ok. I dont want to take anything from Ward, because he completely outskilled green in every way.

Its seems like Ward only wants to fight inside against these top guys. I think he'd out think Froch...but I'm kind of iffy with that. If he tries to bully Froch and AA, I think they're going to put him on his ass. He has the skills to fight outside or atleast appears to....He got away with alot last night. I don't see how no one is seeing that.

glad i'm not the only one that noticed this can't remember what round it was but a whole round went by a he had green pinned into a corner a was holding greens arms down then getting his shots in and was wrestling with him constantly

the ref was **** commentators was **** fight was **** worst fight of the tournament so far yes he was dominant but it was boring as ****

comparing him to roy jones jr was just insulting

imo ward needs to fight bute when this tornament is over then we'll see how good he is
