Is Andre Ward an Entertaining Fighter?

[Tony Trick-Pony]

people can say im a troll or whatever, my genuine belief is there isnt a single person who genuinely enjoys watching him fight, people who say they do are lying to come across as boxing purists. he was negative as hell on saturday night and that should have resulted in him losing the fight. was scared to engage, never threw a right hand, didnt look like he put any weight behind his shots. and as i said he throws no combos whatsoever, other than the jab, duck, clinch combo.

They call you a troll because they don't like what you're saying. It's the easiest way to try and dismiss someone making a valid point. Not that there aren't trolls on here. We all know who they are, but I've never considered you one. You're speaking your mind and your opinion doesn't always work with the little consensus they have going on. For me, F consensus. Tell it how you see it, man.

And yes, Ward just doesn't bring the show to the ring. When he wins, it's boring. When he loses, like on Saturday night, it's boring. The low energy fighters may win, but they don't entertain.

hes not exciting at all, but hes not unbearable like say lara, i have yet to make it past a few rounds of a lara fight

Haha. I watched his whole fight with Williams, but I agree. He's really tough to watch. I know this isn't pro wrestling. Not every fight is going to be a barn burner, but dang. Can we at least light a match? Some of these guys would put Ric Flair to sleep during a live interview.

For me he is, especially when he's in there against someone who's actually trying to win.

Yes, this is why I don't find him, Floyd or Rigo entertaining. Even when effective, their output is so low. I'm not saying all high output fighters are effective, but for me, they are more entertaining. Like Williams-Lara. Lara clearly won IMO. However, I'd rather watch Williams any day. Lara just doesn't throw enough.

you say yes but we actually disagree if you read my post lol.

Different strokes for different folks though

It left a dirty taste in my mouth to see Ward win on Saturday. Not saying he didn't deserve to win, I can see how he did enough to win in some people's eyes and it was a close fight, so props to him for eking it out. But the way in which he went about "winning" is not what boxing is about for me. So negative. I mean, yeah, whatever, he's sneaky and he has great skills, he drew Kovalev into fighting his kind of fight...but surely being the aggressor should count for something?? Ward v Ward, does anybody get hurt? Probably not.

I find Ward's style to be ugly and even ungamely, whilst at the same time, yes sadly, very effective. Not fun to watch at all

I was mainly commenting on Ward who you don't find entertaining. It's fine. Everyone likes different things. When I watch pow output, I can't help but think, 'Is anyone going to throw anything tonight?' Fury-Klitschko is a prime example.

Especially when you consider causal fans watching. Just about any of them would be put to sleep and probably wondering why anyone would pay for this crap.

Not at all. I've had more fun watching molasses trying to go up hill
