Ward vs Dirrel- The Makings of a Classic

[jrosales13]

Depends on what he means by "classic"

If he means FOTY type of fight. Then no I have to disagree. If any fight in round 3 has FOTY material it will be Froch-AA. I don't think it will be a "classic" but FOTY type of fight I could see.

And, IMO is a interesting fight cuz of Froch strength and chin against AA power.

If he is talking about the sweet science kind of classic. Then might be...

But, it also has the potential to be a stinker and more so cuz of Dirrell style and confidence level then anything else.

Why would I let 2 turds take away my Showtime? Fuck that.



I say Ward gets Dirrell pregnant by the 8th round.

No way you can do that much hugging and faggot **** without impregnating the other guy.

No fucking way.

Maybe they will just start making out and oil wrestle and forget the boxing.

I ain't fronting, Mak. I like both of these guys and I'm very interested in seeing how it all plays out. There is alot at stake, I doubt it will be "boring".

the potential is there...one is a safety first fighter that likes to use his legs...the other is one that likes to smother his opponents


and you know, that's what trips me out about Ward...as he is coming into his professional identity, style-wise, he's using grappling techniques quite a bit

i can understand if a fighter is slightly limited with short arms, say like Hatton that needs to implement those tactics


but for Ward, this dude is straight up gifted...he HAS the skills to put on spectacular, fan-making performances


i like the guy...he's a west coast fighter...but i really hope someone tells him how good he can really be without using that 'style'

Jim: Andre Dirrell, is there anything that surprised you about Ward?

Dirrell: Yeah, tbh, I wasn't expecting his balls to be so salty Jim.

Jim: Really? What did you expect?

Dirrell: Well, back when we sparred before they tasted kinda like joo joo bees...

Jim: I see..

(turns to Ward)

Jim: Andre? Is there anything that surprised you about Dirrell?

Ward: Well as a matter of fact Jim, I was surprised when I started bleeding from my butt. Usually I can take just about anything, but he's much bigger than I expected.

Jim(looking shocked): Gus!!! Back to you!!!

Classic Jack....

[Killa Killa]

I think it's going to be a good fight...

Dirrell knows it's pretty much must win and he will bring his best game.....

I'm picking Ward to win though...

[PensionKiller]

TBH They will both old.

If slow ass Green and Froch got them to hold, then imagine how they will deal with someone as fast as themselves?

Guys that are gifted understand distance and punch range, don't throw one punch and lunge in to hold on for dear life and aren't afraid of getting hit.

Funny we all called Hatton "amateur" "crude" and "garbage" for doing the same thing but motherfucking Andre Ward is some "gifted prodigy" ...

Bull****. They both fight like **** cuz' they have no other options.

Classic Jack....

I can't be touched.

i've seen the dude let his hands go and use angles...the skill level is there

you got it mixed up, the safety fighter here, is ward

also ward has always had that punch and jump inside so not to get clogged, just against green, he could stay there cuz green was hardly pushing him off or using his legs

I've seen it too. But its the exception with him, not the rule.

90% of the time its punch, hold... wait for the ref to break them up.


Pshh... And people wonder why Pac is beloved. Can you imagine the **** fit these mother****ers would throw if Pac did that ****?

They'd call him a punk motherfucker, coward, ho, ***** ass coward.
