Official: Ward VS Smith Pre/Post fight thread

[SlySlickSmooth]

I think Ward should of took any fight he could of instead of trying to fight Goossen but if Ward's career is truly back on track with consistency with Roc Nation behind him then this fight is exactly what Ward wanted.

Ward is in his rhythm and is practicing his shots. Ward can unify the 168 division while Golovkin can unify 160. Easy superfight in the making.

Andre Ward is BACK

IN COMES THE TOWEL

That was everything Ward needed. He got in the rounds to shake the rust, he got the stoppage, he didn't clinch or bore, and he looked really sharp.

Glad to have him back, and I hope he sticks around.

[Sweet Pea 50]

Ward put a man sized ass whooping on Smith.

Great performance by Ward.

NEXT, WHO NEXXX!!

[The Hammer]

Andre Ward cut Paul Smith with a head butt.

Why does he need to resort to this against someone like Smith?

[Build That Wall]

Andre Ward back to number 2 p4p.

[Mr. Philadel]

Then why can't he take Smith out of there who is obviously totally outclassed?

[jaded]

Ward is just a supremely, supremely skilled fighter. I don't think anyone in the sport transitions as seamlessly as he does. Offense and defense, inside and outside, pressure and retreating, he goes from one to the other at a moment's notice without losing anything in the process. It's beautiful to watch.

Holy cow dude...do you realize who this guy is he fought? He does not even rate as a sparring partner...C level fighter on a good day. This was a total disgrace for Ward to have even fought the guy.
