its not too hard to outbox froch doe. almost everyone did it at least for the first half of the fight. second half he usually had great success but ward limited that with his wrestling tacitcs. dawson was obviously a zombie. ward beat him at the negotiating table just like the super six tourney. "Chad weighed 182 pounds, good, 14 pounds to lose in nine weeks. Fast forward to Aug 13. Chad weighed 184 and he had been running six days a week. When I saw that, I called [Murillo] and said, 'We should cancel this fight.'
how many fighters outside of ww can you name in the past 10 years since ward retired who did the same? None. Thank you.Comment

No, in fact I'm the guy that wants the Lopez/Lomachenko fight even though Lopez is untested. I want Lopez to get one top 5ish win at LW of course, but I want that fight by late this year early next year. I've been pushing for Davis to fight Lomachenko for a while and think it will be competitive.
I'm all for these youngsters testing themselves against the top elite fighters. I've used Mayweather as an example, but who exactly did he beat before he fought Hernandez? And Hernandez was a proud 130 pound champion that had never lost at that weight class.
Yarde and his team are talking big trash and either they look like geniuses or will end up getting embarrassed, I like that. There is no in between here unless Yarde competes well and ends up losing a tight decision. But I don't see that. I see either he stops Kovalev or he himself gets KTFO.Comment
