      great fighters can use different styles against different opponents to win

      I think all the sudden negative **** towards WARD is BULL****, against Kessler he beat Kessler inside and outside but after that win guys bitched and complain about "Headbutts", it doesn't matter what you think about him or his style personally, as long as he keeps winning your opinion of his style is irrelevant

      Ward can mix his style up very well, not only that but it wasn't just Ward clinching last night, Green did a lot of grabbing and holding as well especially when Ward would start to land

      fans value their own opinions WAY too much, they feel as if they are speaking for EVERYONE instead of just themselves

          Yea, I was telling myself earlier that Ward fights like a young version of old Hopkins.

            Takes insight to see that, you see it, many dont. Great fighters dont win the same way all the time, Ward came out in round 1 moving laterally, getting information on Green's movement with him having to turn with Ward, he went about the rest accordingly. Its good that Ward gets criticized some, it pushes him, makes him more focused, better.

              Prospects like him need all the improvement they can get.

                Ward does mix up his style but the hugging is a constant presence in every fight he has.

                  This is how I know most of these kids have never even stepped in a gym. They overrate a guy who switches southpaw for 30 seconds in one round like its some sort of magical feat.

                  Its not. Its actually pretty easy for any decent athlete.

                    Did anyone notice that just about half of Wards body punches were very low?

                    Abraham will get him disqualified fast lol
