Andre ward: "stay tuned, it's gonna get better"

[JBell11]

I have Dirrell winning this fight too...Ward is ok, but I just see Dirrell's movement alone frusterating Ward. Dirrell also IMO has a crisper jab than Ward.

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

Either way, I've got Dirrell. He's better.

Ward-Green was beautiful. Not Ward's fault he was able to take that guy apart so handily.

Oh no.........Even MORE clinching?

Ward will walk him down.

Maybe, but to your point Abraham "walked him down" and Dirrell boxed him well.

Abraham was highly favored to win the tournament pre-dirrell.

AA is a slow starter. Not only that, but he isn't as versatile as Ward. Ward can actually box, very good. But, he has been fighting in close quarters lately, which is a good wrinkle in his game.

True, his inside game consists of clinching and butting. It is most effective.

I won't take anything away from Ward, you are correct in saying that he is a "very good" boxer. However, Dirrell (when focused) has better movement and a more effective jab to kep Ward from walking, charging, slipping in.

So, it only consists of clinching and butting? Go back and watch the Green fight and you will notice that alot of the times, Green was clinching Ward. Look, I like Dirrell too. I just like Ward more and I feel that Ward will be a bit too much for Dirrell when they meet.

It's cool bro, that was one fight; you are correct that Ward did his thing. However I can name two other fights in the past where he's butted people (accidentally). Consider it a bad habbit or a strategy, (a la Hopkins).

Agree to disagree...I don't think Ward will do enough against a mobile Dirrell. One thing I will say, it will be an entertaining fight, one that I will be MOST excited about in this tournament.
