abraham-ward tomorrow..who wins and why

lets talk "actual fights"should be a good one

Ward stops abraham in the later rounds do to cuts and just beating him down. I believe Froch and Dirrell out boxed abraham by fighting from the outside using their reach and speed to win the rounds, mainly fighting it safe. I dont think ward will fight that same taylor made style that many expect. I think he'll fight abraham up close in his chest with inside choppy 6 inch punches. THere might be a clash of heads even he'll be so close..

ward won't be able to stop AA.

there's a good chance that ward will try and outbox AA early... he'll box and move and outwork AA.

later in the fight tho, around the middle rounds when ward slows down, he'll start using his hold-n-hit style. that ugly style will give AA more chances to land a big punch. there's a good chance AA will use dirty tactics against ward's dirty tactics... maybe a low blow or some other foul.

fight will either end with AA with a late rounds KO, or Ward will win a unanimous decision in a tougher fight than the one Froch had against AA.

Ward lopsided UD.

It will be interesting to see how the fight will go when Ward is on the inside in shooting range for Abraham. Those who have had success with Abraham have done it pretty much solely on the outside and Ward will go to the inside at times in this fight so that will be interesting.

That being said, Abraham is woeful on the inside and has never seen an inside fighter like Ward in his whole career. And Ward will go inside at times.

I think Ward will fight more on the outside than usual in this fight and rack in the rounds outboxing Abraham and will hold back from going inside as much as usual considering Abraham's monster power.

Ward can fight both inside and both well so whatever he choses I see him having little problems.

So yeah, I see a Ward UD. Abraham's only shot is a KO punch IMO. Can't see anyway he wins on the cards.

I think there are only 2 outcomes to this fight ... either Ward gets a UD in a fight that he dominates for the first 8 or 9 rounds, and then it get's closer because of Ward getting tired and AA landing some big shots ... or Abraham wins by KO in the latter rounds when Ward is going to try to use his head to hit AA ... I think if AA has studied his opponent well, then he's going to be able to use some hard uppercuts when Ward holds him or tries to use his head as a weapon.

i just want to see abraham actually lets his hands go!! whats the point in having all that power if your not gonna throw??

i want abraham to win but ward will most likely win a decision.

Abraham is one-dimensional.

Ward has many dimensions.

Ward UD

exactly although i don't see the stoppage because imo ward likes to work on his game during fights.

well if we absolutely have to talk about fights that are actually happening.....


ward goes in and out early and put together a lead (abraham does everything but give the first half of a fight away)
and if he finds it's reasonable, he will stay completely inside and work the body and fight the bigger man's fight



total whitewash on the cards and a possible corner stoppage
