Comments Thread For: Barrera: I Will Knock Andre Ward Out in Eight or Nine Rounds!

[PittyPat]

You think he's slow? He is a LHW, so he's not going to be blazingly fast.

Chad Dawson was blazingly fast in his LHW prime. I'm quite sure he once threw a 12-punch combination at Tarver in their first fight. Back then he was almost Mayweather-esque.

And he could still beat GGG's a$$. Too bad GGG's team knows this and prevented the fight.

Come on guy, how do you know this? Were you in on the deal? Did you sit in on the meetings? Ward is known to be hard to deal with, even this Barrera admitted that. How dont you know Ward thought GGG was a threat and made some outrageous demands? Dont just go off of personal opinion.

But what about his power? he had some pop, but he wasn't really a power puncher. And how quickly Dawson's prime faded. He's not the best example to illustrate your point.

People are prepare their excuses before needing an excuse

Everybody knows about Style by now, if his opponents are not prepare for everything he can possibly do then Shame On Them!

Would you wanna train and on top of that train to defend fouls?

... the guy is slow, he throws looping punches, has no jab and, on top, he gasses early...

What he says ...

You prepare yourself for EVERYTHING! If you don't then maybe you should FIRE YOUR TRAINER! If you worried bout Headbutts which he cleaned up since the Kessler fight then keep him from getting inside and fight off of your backfoot!

Cool....if Abel's top dog had this type of confidence when it comes to SOG they wouldn't be playing table tennis with GBP trying to cash in on the Nelo Sweepstakes

I don't see how he wasn't a good example. You implied that LHWs can't have blazing speed, to which I offered up someone who had it in bunches. Sure, Dawson's prime came and went, but to me he left a lasting impression as a LHW with serious speed.

As for today, Stevenson has great single-shot speed.

Maybe you should be a boxer, seem to have it all figured out? Actually you make the sport sound pretty easy, I am interested to know, have you ever competed in anything before? Saying the fighter should prepare for fouls is crazy talk, why then is there a ref in the ring?

What Fouls? Headbutts haven't been a problem with Ward at all since probably the Bika fight in which most of that was initiated by Bika and his wildness on the inside.

Sorry but great fighters prepare for EVERYTHING, yes including fouls. Like Lennox Lewis vs Holyfield, Holyfield loved to get inside in which he use to head butt a lot of his opponents. What Lennox do? He kept Holyfield at the end of his jab and kept him from getting inside. Not about having it "Figured Out" it is just COMMON ***ING SENSE!

Fans just like to make excuses instead of holding their guy responsible! You guys b1tch about Headbutts, Clinching and Running but rarely do I see fan put pressure on their guys to do something about it. If a guy "runs" then learn how to cut the ***ing ring off, if a guy fights dirty inside, try to keep him from getting inside! If you can't keep him from getting inside then make his ass pay when he get inside:



Clearly these fighters are just not that good if their fans have to make excuses every time they either lose to a certain style or don't look as good vs Certain Styles
