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

[Sparked_1985]

Not even.


Ward eats Dirrell and ****s him out.

You mean attempts to mug and fiddle his way to an ugly decision. Ward fights like an old cagey veteran already. Those ugly upperhooks that Arthur Abraham throws could catch him as he comes boring in like an angry goat - and all Ward's mystique would be blown out of the water.

I'm not declaring him the winner yet. Kessler didn't even turn up and sustained a serious eye-injury. And Green? is nowhere near the level of all the other fighters.

I disagree that Ward's style is "garbage". I do agree that Dirrell, with his mind right, can beat Ward with ease.

I also dislike Ward's antics, I won't say style because he is a technical fighter.

Much like Bernard's antics, his constant headbutting and charging in with the head low isn't good ring generalship.

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...

right now the focused froch that beat aa would do the same to ward...

You mean attempts to..

Who's talking about the winner?


Ward is way more talented than Dirrell, period. All Dirrell has over Ward is some speed. Every other meaningful factor goes to Ward. And Ward knows how to use the speed he has better than Dirrell uses his. Intangibles, don't even go there, Ward annihilates Dirrell.


Kessler turned up and got his ass kicked, period. Like he would by Ward at any point of his career, period.

So what about Green? He got dominated, it's not like Ward went life and death with that guy, wasn't even competetive.

Dirrell is a good boxer with very fast hands, he would give Ward a tough time.

Ward makes him cry (not crocodile tears this time).

dude AAwas averaging single digits a round

was that the first fight you watched in your whole life?
I think it would be a hella match that can go anyway
I want to see that as the final

[MikeRo1972]

Please.... Dirrell has the concentration span of a gnat. His gameplan would go out the window the minute Ward lands a butt, elbow, or meaningful punch. Not to mention Ward would suffocate him and snuff his jab by getting in his chest. Let's not even get into his corner which one of the worst in elite level boxing.

I think this would be a pretty good fight in the opening rounds, however I would have Ward convincingly. IMO
