Comments Thread For: Ward-Abraham: King Arthur Vows To Be Impressive

AA couldn't impress vs Froch
will be embarrassed by Ward in another shutout

It depends...

ward can outbox AA from the outside if he uses his jab and foot movement.

but if ward does his hold-n-hit style, he's gonna be in range to get hit by AA's power punches.

Less than a month remains before the first semi-final bout of the Super Six tournament. On May 14 in California, tournament points leader Andre Ward (23-0, 13 KOs) will defend his WBA super middleweight title against Arthur Abraham (32-2, 26 KOs).

AA like Clottey w/o much footwork. The key is accurate jab with sufficient volume. Then some lateral movement. Some more accurate jabs. Then some lateral movement. Repeat until fight ends. Only way Ward lose is w/o proper conditioning and trying to fight close and make it a brawl. Nothing fancy here really. Just UD no need for KO.

The blueprint is set, Ward just follows the plan laid out by Dirrell and Froch - and its an easy night's work.

Got to admire AA's heart and respect his power, but ^^^

The word activity should be being preached in camp for AA..I said it before a active AA is a dangerous AA,he won't land all his shots(Ward has some great defense)but if he is active something will land soon or later then he could see what's what..But he can not(I repeat Can not)fight the way he has been fighting,the word is out on how to beat the Clottey AA..

Abraham needs to go old school, from what I've seen in the 360 episodes he didn't do much **** but to wear some wifebeater shirt and go to a fitness gym.

Lets hope we get Jo Cortez, so theres no clinching, but Abraham looks mentally shot.

Arthur will surprise some fairweather boxing fans who are always experts in retrospect with this fight.

It will be very competitive.

I have always said AA was an overhyped euro but I think Ward might be just as overhyped. I agree with the earlier poster that said if AA can actually still let his punches go then he has more than a punchers chance. If he spends the whole fight peeking and *****ing about every body shot being a low blow then Ward could leave without a mark on him. AA must be active, the question is does he still have that in him?

I'm hoping AA continues the trend of upsets in 2011 by beating Ward convincingly. Abraham looked OK against Dirrell but had one 'off night' against Froch. I think he's a live underdog and may make this fight more competitive than most fans here in NSB think....

AA can be beat w/ lateral movement and a jab both of which AW has. He has problems w/ boxers. I see AA having some spirited moments in the fight but other wise being beaten convincingly against Ward. I like Ward's mental toughness and skills to win the fight.
