A. Ward aka SOB (Son of Bernard)...Dirrell outboxes him

[djtmal]

Would be an interesting and very technical fight...I got my money on the SOG though...

great head(butts) think alike huh...

If Kessler gets more than 2 weeks of training. Has 20/20 vision and doesnt get fouled unpunished he'll win. Kessler complained to his corner that he couldnt see from the third or fourth round due to those butts.

Believe me these points had an impact on his performance. And then you have Ward facing a hostile crowd nine timezones away. Not easy.

Ward clearly proved he's the better overall fighter. Kessler just couldn't deal with the movement, with the jab, and with the pace of Ward and at this point, Kessler is deteriorating while Ward is peaking. They can fight anywhere now and Ward will win. Sorry.

No need to apologize. Your opinion is perfectly legit. I gave my reasons as to why the first fight ended like it did. You dont think my points carry any weight and that's ok.

I've nothing to add, other then "Son of Bernard" is brilliant

one thing i can say so far, at least sob isn't calling out welters, jr. middles, and middles....

i didn't exactly say ward's style is "garbage", but looking at his last two fights, it looks like he's headed in that direction.....

i don't like the direction they are going with ward's development though...at first imo he was a solid boxer-puncher that put me in the mindframe of hagler, but lately he's just charging in headfirst like you said...

Thats only becuz he was fighting 2 guys that he had to bully. Other than sticking the jab periodically here and there, how else do u expect him to beat Bika? And for Green, Ward took away all his abilities by fighting that way. Against Kessler he showed multiple styles. Against Miranda he showed multiple styles. Only against Green and Bika did he look like a dirty infighter the whole time. Lets see how he fights Abraham before we declare that his normal fighting style. He would be dumb to try and fight Abraham like that the whole time, so lets see if he does.

i'll just focus on bika...a lot of people felt (myself included) that he fought the incorrect strategy against bika...felt he made the bika fight harder than it should have been....i felt he should have outclassed bika easy by boxing from the outside...he fought bika's fight, and his hometown ref made sure bika didn't fight his fight...
