Exactly! Ward put on a masterful performance tonight. Even though the fight was ugly early, Ward showed why he should be rightfully regarded as the #2 P4P King of the sport (Too me he is #1). This type of supreme boxing skill is why Ward and Rigondeaux are my favorite fighters in the sport.

Haters will hate but Ward is "DA MAN"!!! You just can't deny this guy's talent.

It's so strange to me, to hear people talking "with excitement" about Ward, B-hop, Rigo or Mayweather's skill like it's an exciting thing to watch. Very skilled? Of course, pretty boring? Of course. When you are pretty sure its going the distance before the fight starts and it actually does go 12....and it happens 90% of the time.....boring. With that high of a percentage in Power punches and jabs landed, shouldn't there be more KO's? Did he even get one knock down in the Super 8 tourney? Sorry, don't mean to hate, but I enjoy excitement in fights, not masterful skilled jabs

Unless you are rooting against them or only like pure slugfests they can all be very entertaining.

It's better to be thought of as an idiot, than to open your mouth and confirm it!

Exactly. The fighters that he likes don't last in the sport. They watch boxing for the thrill, not the skill.

Most fans, even the casuals love a good fight over a slugfest.

Nobody, wants to see GG in a one sided bomb out against a bum every time out and call that exciting when you can watch two guys thinking in there. GG Stevens was exciting, but Ward Rodriguez wasn't, lmao. Go sell that ish to someone who cares what you think. I'm not talking about you J.

Thanks for stopping by. I think, however, that you're looking for a different sport. This is boxing, and if you can't appreciate the application of the sweet science at the highest level, there are other combat sports that might be more to your liking. Or you could just go down to your local bar on the weekend. The fights there probably don't go the distance.
