Ward vs Brand will be an ugly fight as long as it lasts

[therealpugilist]

Brand is awkward, throws punches from odd angles, has a lot of head movement and often leads with it...some of his shots are arm punches and he often rushes in or side to side

Ward may crowd him, hope cuts dont become a factor and push kov vs ward back

This isnt gonna be a showcase fight and i think it will take ward 2-3 rounds to catch the timing.

Brand was only 34 years old in that fight...

still dont see it being a pretty fight, he is awkward as all hell from any footage I could find on him

ugly style

as far as age, Hopkins is 50...is he not Kovalev's biggest win?

anyway as far as style I dont see a very entertaining fight and ward may have to be the aggressor

He's an awkward fighter... but he's terrible. One merely has to glance at the Jack fight and repeatedly watch him lift his chin in the air, have a wide open guard. And he throws these telegraphed punches well out of range. Ward is going to have a field day with him. While laughing all the way to the bank.

Nice try to make it seem a difficult fight for Ward when you know it won't be like that at all.

those awkward guys are hard to look good against..could very well dawg brand though....ward is good on the inside

not trying to make it seem like anything....i favor ward to win like I favored Kov to win...chilemba didnt get blitzed and I dont see Bland getting blitzed....he may get mugged but it wont be pretty cause he is so awkward and his rhythm is herky jerky
