andre ward's weakness ''exposed''

[$Bullsfam$]

Damn, me too. Im the conductor of the king kong hype train around here.

Let me guess, you got berto too?

If so, pick anoter close fight this month.

You wanna bet on Berto? I'm willing to put a decent chunk of change on Ortiz. If he plays his cards right, he definitely could put a beating on Berto. I think he just needs to motto one of the best boxer punchers in boxing right now(miguel Cotto). Utililize a good jab and good to the body and I think he can wear Berto down and get em outta there!

Other than power AA has nothing and is essentially a club fighter ppl have been fooled into thinking was world class, Germany did a great job with him. He has no inside or outside skills, he is slow, has a nonexistent work rate, short stubby arms to go along with his choad like body.........this is a very easy win for Ward, but oh yeah he go KD once so he has a glass chin.

****** thread.

BTW, anyone got a link to that fight in english?

[Tiozzo]

lol i was just having this argument in the history section with some of those stuffy bastards


if you're a boy
and then you become a man (over time) your chin will get better



years going by can make your chin stronger depending on the stage of life the fighter is in.



once you hit your prime physically, it wont get any better. you'll only be taking punishment
but if you arent taking a lot of punches during your career you will be able to take better punches as you mature

I hope we can agree to say Ward was no boy in 2005

he was 22

if you look at my sig, you'll see I got Berto. Ripper left the site so one of those bets is no longer good. I got 75 mil on Berto and we do a 75 mil ko bonus?

Yeah Kessler has been demoted to journeymen which really is really starting to hurt Calzaghe's win over him. If you beat kessler though I think that makes you definitely an top super middleweight because he's still a live fighter I guess.

I can't wait for Johnson vs Froch. The winner will definitely probably be Ward's toughest fight to date because Froch seems hungrier since he got his first loss. He got lucky he was in england against Dirrell but I think he learned his lesson in that close fight to Kessler. And Johnson is ALWAYS hungry. Ward is far from a shoe in to win the tournament. I think he will but he's going to have to go through hell to do it. But after getting up from that knockdown I think he has the great to go through fire.

this^^^^^^

couldn't make a better fight at 168 if you tried. battle of the two biggest sets of huevos.

Glen is a strong ass smw. if he pulls it out v froch I will be AMAZED.

ward has a good chin, he got caught by some good shots from both miranda and kessler and stood up to them very well. on top of that he gets hit cleanly very rarely since his speed, skill and boxing IQ keeps him out of trouble most of the time.

and as this video shows if someone manages to catch him with a clean shot and acctually hurt him he knws how to react on order to survive. very impressive considering that was like his 5th pro fight if im not mistaken.

any fighter can get hurt, being dropped once doesnt mean someone has a glass jaw (obviously).

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

Everyone gets knocked down or wobbled, doesnt mean he has a bad chin

Exactly.........


I love the way people bring up fights from 6 years ago and think they "found" something....

Like the way bring up the fact Pac lost in 1976...haha

I totally agree. I got Glenn pulling it out.

[V.WEBB]

That was in 2005...

Right. Much more mature fighter now, 6 years later. I can't wait until he beats AA up, then gives Froch the business.
