Who is boxingscene rooting for tonight?

[Dave Rado]

Abraham.

He is more of a ring warrior of the two, he's not afraid to fight in a foreign country.

Ward has been coddled and over-protected.

AA didn't look like a ring warrior in the Froch fight.

I've never really seen him willing to trade, which is what the term "ring warrior" usually implies. He waits behind his high guard for his opponent to make a mistake and then he throws powerful and accurate counters. But against an opponent who rarely makes mistakes, he is more or less impotent.

[PRINCE O' PROSE]

STFU, Rado. Abe walked through blow after blow to get to Froch and never stopped trying. He fought a large portion of the first Miranda fight with a busted jaw, swallowing blood, taking punches on the injury, still throwing back. That's a warrior.


But Ward is all grit and guts, too. Very much a warrior.

[PRINCE O' PROSE]

Abraham V Froch again would be pretty pointless. I can't see Abraham improving that much since they last fought.

It is just a pitty that Dirrell V Ward didn't happen. I think Dirrell would have caused Warad some problems.

I've already stated my opinion on that one at length several times in the past. I'll restate it in shorthand; Ward breaks Dirrell's heart and makes him cry.

The Boston Bruins and Andre Ward!

[Pin Galarga]

I want Ward to win, but I'm not sure He has the power to keep Abraham at bey. I think it will be an upset and Abraham will win by late KO.

[Dave Rado]

STFU, Rado.

If you don't know how to have a boxing discussion without resorting to insulting people, you're in the wrong forum.

Abe walked through blow after blow to get to Froch and never stopped trying.

You must be the only person in the world who thinks that. Even Abraham's own trainer strongly disagrees with you.

He fought a large portion of the first Miranda fight with a busted jaw, swallowing blood, taking punches on the injury, still throwing back. That's a warrior.

He showed a lot of heart in that fight but that has nothing to do with whether he ever trades, which was what my point was about. And almost no one in the world would agree with your assessment of the Froch fight.

But Ward is all grit and guts, too. Very much a warrior.

I agree they both have guts.

Take your lecture and shove it, UFO-head.

No, I'm not the only person who thinks that. But I realize there are plenty of clueless people on this forum who think he didn't try.

The closest Abraham came to getting to Froch and hurting him was in the 12th round, so he clearly never stopped trying to win. He simply didn't have the tools or an alternate strategy, so he looked hopeless. Lack of effort or fighting heart was not a factor.

Abraham's trainer is a ******, Jurassic old jerk who never set foot in a pro ring calling his fighters "cowards" and I could could care less what that old fart says.

He showed a lot of heart in that fight but that has nothing to do with whether he ever trades, which was what my point was about. And almost no one in the world would agree with your assessment of the Froch fight.

Plenty of rational people agree with it, anyone with a brain in their skull agrees with it.

And whether a boxer stands and trades with entirely no defence or not is NOT the key determining factor in how one should define a "warrior". I don't know where you got that impression from, but - update it, it's false.

I agree they both have guts.

Oh, whoopee.

[BoZz]

Ward V Froch are the worthy finalists from this tournament.
