    Yes but only against White or Asian opponents. Or any fighter who was born on Friday the 13th.

      Or would "Son of Goat" be a more fitting nickname for a boxer who relies on headbutting and other illegal tactics?
      I think I found the "father" and the "son".

          what a silly question. if that's actually what he does (especially the headbutting,) must you really ask?
          should headbutting be permitted? you've got to ask that?

          the real question is "does andre ward intentionally headbutt?"
          and i dont think he does to any great degree. he might operate in a manner and style (normal sized guy going from boxing on the outside to fighting very short and in his opponents chest) that lends itself to clashes of heads that are worse for his opponent, but it's certianly not the head clashes that win him the fights.

          he picked froch and kessler apart completely. they could fight a thousand rounds and ward wouldn't lose 20.

          should crying be permitted?


          lol, sorry tunney my man, but that's really what this is.
          i know i've got ward in my avatar, and people will discredit me on those grounds, but i'm telling you that worship has nothing to do with my opinion on the matter


          ward could fight those guys in their living rooms and he'd beat the brakes off of them.
          he could have fought chad dawson at cruiserweight and he would have whooped that ass.


          andre is his name.

              You got that right. They don't call Wlad's style "jab jab grab" for nothing.

                The jury should completely disregard this post. The guy is obviously bias.

                  Should he have demanded chad dawson fight him at 168, so chad would be weight-drained?

                  Why does andre ward work with victor conte?
                  so dawson calling out ward and asking to come down to his weight is turned into this? Smh

                    To be fair, for those who mentioned it, Wlads clinching is hardly illegal. But leaning his body is, same as Lenox used to do.

                      The champ fights where he wants.

                      You fight for the 168 lb belt at 168lbs. Theres should be no catch wieghts in championship bouts.

                      TS sounds bitter
