Dirrel-Ward lets hear the predictions

[Bushbaby]

In my opinion,Direll has slightly better skill,but Ward is the all around better fighter,so I say Ward ud!!

[nachorjj]

Ward win a easy UD or a late KO

[bishop2006]

I got Dirrell in this man,hes faster,hits harder,but Ward maybe the smarter fighter,but styles make fights,and i think Dirrels style will beat Wards

[JayDee2700]

Ward! I think Ward is the better fighter and has way better def an ring IQ then Dirrell. Dirrell is very inconsistant in rounds an leaves himself open especially in the later rounds, plus Dirrell gets gased in the later rounds as well. Dirrell relys on his speed an quickness to get him out of dangerous situations but his speed/quickness cant help him this fight cause there both about the same speed.

I dont think he's the better fighter, I think Dirrell is more flashy then anything.

Overall - Ward and Dirrell is a Boxer's Classic!!! A physical chess match that will be the fight everyone talks about for the remainder of the tournament!

What do they gain?
Ward/Dirrell- I've combined both fighters simply because they are two promising stars achieving the rights for one spot! Who is the better "boxer"??? Both have accomplished a great deal, and have much to gain from this fight alone, and for the remainder of the tournament. Although they are in a similar situation, Dirrell proves to lose more if he loses to Ward. The theory is simple, one (debatable) loss to Froch plus the loss to Ward might dictate his ranking amongst the other within the tournament and/or other prospective match ups. Ward losing to Dirrell may not be as devastating, as Ward is leading the pack one loss isn't a "setback"...it's more of a learning experience.

Quick Break down
Ward
Ward must cut the ring. No if ands or buts. Dirrell has the better legs, and to take that movement away one would have to capture the more elusive boxer (Dirrell). Once Dirrell is in Ward's range; Ward should capitalize and go to the body, and take advantage of Dirrell while sliding out. Ward should tie Dirrell up and keep this fight close tight and physical.

Dirrell
Dirrell must stay moving and jabbing, Dirrell will have to move laterally. He must refrain from standing still for long periods of time. This will allow Ward to come straight in and try to tie up the leaner fighter (Dirrell). An inside fight would be a Ward fight, however to deter the "Ward Rush" Dirrell should time his punches and catch Ward with uppercuts and hooks. Dirrell should be able to Ward off Ward if he establishes his jab early and continue to punch in angles where Ward would remain "unsettled" (that is Ward will not be able to set his punches)

Conclusion
Dirrell will be too elusive with good foot movement, too quick with his punches, and busier with the jab that will be key to winning a UD over Ward.

Peace.

Conclusion
Dirrell will be too elusive with good foot movement, too quick with his punches, and busier with the jab that will keep Ward honest. Dirrell scrap with A.A and Froch are more telling than Wards wins over Kessler and Green. That being said Dirrell has faced a serious threat in Abraham that can land that one punch and it's all over. Dirrell faced Froch a fighter with decent boxing ability that roughed up Dirrell. Although Froch won, many believe the fight was a toss up. I truly believe Dirrell has gained alot of perspective from those two fights alone. Not to say Ward is Froch or Abraham, but the glaring truth of the matter is, Dirrell has been tested.

I just wanted to continue my thought...
later!



Peace.

IDK Bruh, I think there even when it comes to quickness an speed, both hav great relexes, the difference is Ward can surstain that elusivness where as Dirrell get tired an slips up that wat happen in both fights, he was gettn caught in the later rounds.
