The reason Andre Ward beats Andre Dirrell

[Walterson]

Yes, I did see that.

Then your point is

Then your point is

Where in the video did he say or suggest that it was a dissappointment to the casual fan?

[mathed]

The sharp shootin' southpaw Slickter will be swiping at Wards chin as he tries to hug, hold and I bet he knocks down Ward several times because he ain't used to being out of his comfort zone.

Ward will put on a lacklustre performance and it'll cost him.

Ward will swing his forehead like a battle ax trying to get a headbutt stoppage after he starts getting worked over in there

Like the guy in your AVI.

I think Ward is versatile. He has been doing the punch and hug style lately, but he is plenty capable of fighting outside too. This is the only tough matchup I believe for him in this tourney, because Dirrell is the more athletic fighter, but I think Ward will find something that works and win.

Some of you guys are acting as if Ward can't actually box from the outside. He can. Lately, he has been fighting in close quarters, but he has the versitily to box from the outside. Dirrell is rangy and is a very good boxer himself. However, his footwork has been terribly sloppy. He finds a way to slip all over the ring. Not only that, but he gets caught with more flush shots than Ward. Ward isn't the biggest puncher in the world, but Dirrell gives him openings, he will make him pay. I can't wait for this fight...Ward goes to 3-0 after making a man out of his good friend.

Damn, beat me to it. People forget already that Ward can absolutely dance around a ring boxing outside.

Dirrell can fight going forward or on the back foot.

has a rangy punches ( throws long hooks too)

Ward will not be able to tie him up and we will see whether his stamina can keep up.

They still don't have a venue for this fight. Per Dan Rafael there is almost no chance this fight happens September 25th.
