Comments Thread For: Photos: Andre Ward, Sullivan Barrera Ready For Battle

what's wrong with that?

that's what a real showman would do, if he knows he's winning the match anyway

Morales used to do that all the time, that's why he was an idol. Pac, Barrera, JMM, etc they all would throw caution out of the window at times, just to make the fight more exciting for the fans who pay to watch

but Ward is a smug, self absorbed dbag, so ofc he's gonna play it safe even against an overmatched opponent. he's like Rigondeaux, and neither will ever be a superstar, for that same reason

If you like Mexican boxing, then go watch Mexicans boxing. If you think Ward, Rigondeaux and whoever else is on your **** list are boring, then what do you care about their style? Clearly they are in their 30s, they're not going to change their style for you. Boxing has different styles. That's why I pick and choose the fights I want to see, if I don't like a certain style I don't watch or talk about it. You don't like Ward's style, don't expect him to become Israel Vazquez, he's Andre Ward, not Morales, no MAB, not Chavez. He is Andre Ward, he has his own style. He will be great using his own style, they were great using their on style. Don't expect every fighter to want to fight like a Mexican or be a showman.
