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

[Walterson]

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

what makes you think that green had nothing left? yes, he was getting dominated but that doesn't mean he wasn't a live opponent that could have turned the tables at any moment.

Unless you were on the receiving end of the left then you can't tell whether or not it was thrown with conviction! i'm sure if Andre Ward (who's been fighting for the majority of his life) felt that his opponents punches were weakening he would of upped his work his work rate, don't you? so it kinda makes sense now to agree that Green was throwing solid and hurtful shorts because of Wards lack of combinations.

I do however agree with you in the sense that it wasn't an all round entertaining fight. Technically and boxing wise it was excellent and I think only true fans of the sport would recognize this.

[Walterson]

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!

When's your man Haye going to be fighting a Klitschko?

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?

he just fights ugly, similar to how b-hop fights. however there is a huge difference between ward and b-hop; b-hop fights ugly because that is his only option, whereas ward is a very talented boxer who could easily be a lot more entertaining imo. i have only seen maybe 6 of ward's fights but from what ive seen he can be more entertaining than this. he has great speed and can throw beautiful combos, which he did very sporadically last last, but he doesnt do it often enough. i mean come on man, green had given up after 8 rounds, he barely threw a punch after that. fans wanna see knock outs, and green was there to be knocked out last night but ward was content for an ugly decision against an extremely average, poorly prepared fighter. he is better than that in my eyes...

The referees let him get away with it in his home town whilst the commentators lavish praise on him. He's the new darling of the networks and they are trying to build him into a superstar.

i think hes on to something...they see potential in ward as a successor to mayweather/dlh as the next big american star ...so because of that, they allow him to get away with murder

-if he ever has a close decision, they will give it to him in his favor for sure
-they also allow him to bend the rules
-the commentators are told by their bosses to "praise" him so it does a good job of brainwashing the people into believing hes the truth

boxing politics/bull**** as usual

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.

Dude, that is no way an excuse to fight that kind of fight. There are a million and one ways to take away an opponents major weapon and doing it illegally is inexcusable.

That's not a skill my friend. What Ward did was flatout cheating !! But, the bigger blame falls on the ref's shoulders.

[Frighteous]

he didnt cheat, learn the rules

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

not holding/wrestling for most of the fight would help him a lot

he's got the talent, but not the excitement. both things are needed to be a star

[Frighteous]

where's rockin? he's a ref

'So what' if it wasn't entertaining? Are you ****ing daft? Why do you watch boxing if you didn't find it entertaining? Of course you care. That's such a jackass thing to say. You wouldn't watch it if you didn't find certain fights entertaining and if every fight was like this, you wouldn't be watching it at all. This fight was not entertaining, and if everyone fought like that, no one would ever watch any of it.

Some of you guys just don't know boxing. Ward is a throwback.
