You can make an arguement that Ward has shown to have the potential to be a special fighter, but typically it's best to wait a few years after a breakout win (in this case, over Kessler) and watch how a fighter performs against multiple styles at the top of the sport (and ideally, at multiple weights) before determining that you are witnessing an elite, special talent.

Devon, on the other hand, has proven little. I thought he was losing rounds against Urango before that admittedly beautiful uppercut.

The statement is far from fact, ftr.

Not in this lifetime. SOG is going to make a man out of the Matrix.

I figure Dirrell should show us some *****s in what has appeared to be Ward's impenetrable armor as of late. I seriously doubt that Dirrell has the toughness or the inside skills to deal with the kind of roughhouse tactics that Ward is going to use.

I expect Dirrell to basically pack it up at some point and get on his bike, then lose a UD.

Dirrell's too quick, too athletic. Ward is gonna leap straight into a right hand and land himself in a heap of trouble, quote me on that

The way I see it playing out, Ward won't get too many opportunties to rough Dirrell up. And I don't think he's dangerous enough to really make Dirrell uncomfortable when he's only sporadically allowed to work

I agree that Devon is very, very good and will likely become a boxing superstar.

But Andre Ward is nothing without his home referees who let him repeatedly hit while holding and deliberately headbutt. Great fighter don't need to constantly cheat to win. Ward has chin issues and thats why he holds so much, if he was a great talent he'd be able to protect his chin with head movement. He fights like Hopkins, but B-Hop is in his 40s.

I agree Dirrell is better than Ward, he's faster and more elusive.

But Ward's home referee could make a difference if the fight is in Oakland.
