Anyone else smell an upset?

Physically Ward looks absolutely ready for this weightclass.

I might be the only one who thinks Ward looks better with some hair.

Absolutely.

I just don't get the hate for Ward. I like this guy. Humble, disciplined and always has a great fight strategy. This guy isn't some dumb **** talker. He's a classy guy.

Guess you have been living under a rock the last 3-4 years.

Ward gives a **** about the fans. Look at his social media. The only time he retweets or talks is when someone spends money on his swag.

Why do you think he barely has any fans and can't even sell out his backyard?

The dude was suing a dead ill promoter until the bitter end. He fought 2 times in 4 years and never travels, never takes risks. Just makes excuses and excuses.

Fools the fans, the public by sending hoax offers.

I thought the same. He's never had muscles that "popped", ever. So, he simply looks like a bigger Andre Ward. He bullied prime Froch and continually put him against the ropes so he's one of those guys who is strong w/o looking flashy.

The guys saying negatives are the usual trolls just expressing their anger.

sounds like ward was heavily juiced to me to be able to throw froch around and froch was the strongest SM I ever saw.

Ward doesn't look quite like a filled in LHW but he should still win

and yet he barely made the weight looking skinny he is a CW and was one when fighting SM

Looking forward to this tomorrow - I expect it will be more difficult for Ward than everyone expects - maybe 116-112 a couple of times and maybe even a 115-113. But mostly it's a case of seeing how Ward fare's at his new weight, how he takes the punches and whether he can dominate on the inside.

I say ward might go down twice and win a gift decision

That wouldn't surprise me either. I could also see Barrera going down if he gets too confident and Ward times him. But I'm sticking to my original prediction - Ward in a hard fought close but unanimous decision.

I can't wait! Go Ward!
