styles make fights: Abraham vs Ward
Collapse
-
I think people have seen so much of the clinch and inside fighting of Ward in the last 2 fights that they have forgotten how Ward was clowning Kessler on the outside as well. Yes, please go back and look at how that jab dominated Kessler from the outside. Ward can fight on the inside and outside.
Styles do make fights though. Froch fought on the outside with his jab and expertly controlled the distance. He made Abraham weary of the power when trying to coming inside (Froch has a lot more power than Ward). Ward can win on the outside like Froch imo. But the problem is that he doesn't have the reach advantage that Froch enjoyed; there is only a 1 inch reach advantage for Ward. Plus Ward doesn't have the same power as Froch, so will Abraham respect that? Abraham certainly can take more risks in getting inside because of the lack of power. This is what makes the fight interesting. I believe in Ward's overall ability though, so I will have to go with him.Last edited by ATG Fighter; 12-03-2010, 10:15 PM.Comment

I've been saying this over the years I never understood Abraham's style of fighting, the guy doesn't do **** for 8-9 rounds, all his wins are fluke imo he was lucky enough to face Taylor at the end of his career I thought Taylor won 8-9 rounds, and Miranda was never the same after Kelly Pavlik fight and rest of his fights in Germany fighting buncha unknown journeymen and struggling sometimes. I don't think Abraham will fight Ward he will drop out of the tourney. Ward sucks too big time.Comment
