one thing I always respected about Ward is he never comes out of pocket or acts out of character. He showed that poise as prospect, on his way up the ladder and when he was supposed to be in over his head in the supper six
you dont wake a sleeping giant. Ward is one of those guys who isnt looked at as a mean MFer but watch him fight, he'll beat you up with or without a kayo.
It would benefit Barrera if Ward sat down on his shots and traded but lets get real, Ward is too smart for that.
He is the smartest fighter I've seen since a prime Mayweather and thats saying something. He doesnt let opponents or the media dictate the way he fights or play mind games. Thats for the mentally weak
yea as long as he fights in his hometown and uses his ref that allows him to butt elbow clinch and hold all he wants
His physical strength is a big part of why he is able to cling onto his opponents like a limpet sticks to a rock, imo.
There is a time to over-intellectualise boxing but I am pretty certain Kessler, Froch et al. would have liked to have been able to shake him off and punch him in the head.
He is brilliant yes. But there are times when he is spoiling. No other words for it really.
froch was the strongest SM I ever saw and mental ward threw him around. ward is on some kinda juice
