Andre Ward will lose to Arthur Abraham.

Ward reminds me a little bit of Bradley, not quite fast enough or slick enough to hit and not be hit (there's only one Floyd Mayweather Jr and we will only see one of those every 20 years or so) so he goes in after his jab and immediately looks to halt the action. I hate that about him because he could do better with slight technical adjustments, doesn't really need to fight that ugly and as you put it, dirty......or not lose in the supersix at all.
Abraham is the only fighter representing a challenge to Ward's skills. Ward likes to go (head first) on the inside most often and doing damage at close range. That tactic bears the risk of an encounter with an abrahammer that will doom Ward's suspect chin.
So far Abraham's blueprint of defeat is to stay on the outside and work hard with the jab and hook to the body.
So far we haven't seen Ward being able to do that. Not even against Sakio Bika where Ward also went inside despite knowing that Bute and Calzaghe was more succesful from the outside.Comment
