Andre Ward Injury update

[Evil Abed]

He may be modest and soft-spoken, but S.O.G. is one tough S.O.B.

Not only did he bust up Carl Froch last week at in Atlantic City to win the Super Six Wolrd Boxing Classic Final, Ward also busted up his left hand—a week before the fight.

“We did not know this going in,” tweeted Ward, “because the X-Ray came back negative. I just knew it hurt like nobodies business. We had to go with the fight.”

This morning Ward went to get an MRI.

According to WBA/WBC super middleweight champ, “The MRI showed multiple fractures in the third & fifth metacarpal on my left hand. This happened a week before the fight.

“I knew I would further hurt my hand in the fight & I did in the 6th rd. I bit down & continued to work, I had no choice. We got through it!”

If Ward did what he did to Froch with one goof hand, what would the fight have been like if he had two good hands?

“The Doc put a hard cast on 2day, the cast will remain for 2 weeks, then rehab & I should be fine.”

Dude has great mental fortitude> many tangible traits

That's why he's such a boss inside the ring and out. No excuses, went in with an injury and still dominated.

Ward's a tough guy. He will remain at the top of the sport for a long time.

looks like Ward will be able to make his next desired fight date.

April or May.

What a true champion. Wow. Fighters should watch and learn from this guy outside of the ring and how he handles injuries and stuff.


Already liked him, now I like him more. Andre Ward is the second best American boxer after Floyd. Third is Dawson but he can easily prove he's the second best if he stays active beating the top guys like Hopkins rematch, Pascal rematch, and Cloud.

ward was the wrong fight for froch, the difference was speed, but i i did notice ward got very tired in the 11th and 12 rounds, looking at the clock that a sign of hanging in there. if this fight went 15 rounds froch wins will ward fight another top fighter in the next year or two dont know for sure but froch will.
