andre ward

[gauze]

i dont understand why in every single showtime broadcast they're surprised and can't believe the dirty and unpleasing style ward has fought ever since the miranda fight pretty much. i can't wait to see this guy fight somewhere that isnt his hometown and see if he's still allowed to stick his elbow in peoples faces, holding and hitting, jumping in with his head etc. i would laugh so hard if someone just demolished his face with a headbutt. how dare he complain about other fighters using dirty tactics when he initiates it all with his mauling john ruiz-like style.

I thought I was the only person who saw it that way. Glad someone else came out of the woodwork.

It was a close fight to me. Andre Ward did throw some hard elbows and headbutts though. The ref jst stood there one time. It was a tough fight though, Bika was tough.

I thought Ward won 115-113, but only because the referee was on Bika's back for every borderline foul, while letting Ward get away with all his dirty stuff.

In a neutral location with an honest referee, Bika would have won, because an honest ref wouldn't have allowed Ward to repeatedly hold Bika's arm and other illegal stuff.

At one point tonight, after Bika landed a good punch, the scumbag referee actually pulled Bika off Ward and gave him a hard push back away from Ward.

I'm glad I'm seeing more boxing fans scoring this fight extremely close. I saw Bika taking most of the early rounds. He was controlling the fight, from my perspective and Ward wasn't landing anything of substance.

There was no way anyone could honestly score that fight 117-111 or more for Ward. I could see 116-112 or your score no problem and I wouldn't argue it but 118-110 and 120-108? Asinine.

I agree totally, he has skill but his style of arm holding, headbutting, wrestling, and elbowing is garbage. Dudethinks he is Hopkins and his hometown cooking allows him to do what he wants.

The commentators even said, "I don't know if we have been watching a Muay Thai match or a boxing match"......Ward is a fraud..I hate his style and what he does

Yes, it was a close fight. The judge who scored it 120-108 is a disgrace.

I had it 115-113 Bika for the record.
