      It appears Hunter trained him to fight dirty.

          Yes he is, but it's the referee who allows him to get away with it.

          It's not his responsibility, he is using any advantage he can to win.

          Floyd did exactly the same thing.

            True.

            An honest referee would stop him from doing it.

              The thing is Ward like B-Hop are very subtle with their dirty tactics, they look like the intention is a punch not an elbow or headbutt, making it seem unintended to the ref.

                Yes. As we see in the video, Ward will often follow a punch with a headbutt (as when he cut Chad Dawson).

                  He is a pretty dirty fighter at times, hopefully he doesn't get away with it tonight.

                    No, he's very smart and he knows the weak side of his opponents. i dont like his fighting style but Ward does his job very well.

                      There is nothing subtle about the constant illegal tactics Ward uses. Nothing.

                      I just hope the ref isn't another corrupt piece of ****.
