In their first fight Ward hardly landed a good right hand. Andre has a good jab and a decent hook, I'm wondering if Ward's a converted lefty and his right is his weak hand. Or maybe it's due to an injury?

he is a natural left hander. fighters with the eak hand in front can still have big power in that hand, but whenevr a fighter keeps the weak hand in back they very seldom carry power in that shot.
even DLH who was a massive puncher carried very little power in his right hand, being a converted fighter. winky wright, paul williams and ofcourse andre ward are other examples although none of them were punchers in any case.
there are some exceptions, andre dirrell seems to punch pretty much as hard from either stance and tyson had a brutal right cross despite being a converted left hander.

He's a defensive fighter and typically does not commit himself to punches. He's rarely completely off balance, but it also means his punches do not carry too much power. It's also one of the things that let him maintain his energy and fight inside. He exerts himself on the inside, instead of committing to the punches at distance.

he had an injury when he was young that never really healed, hes basically a one handed fighter and has been winning that way. Power is not his thing I thought that was established but also kov did some things that made him stop throwing it.

He is naturally left handed fighting as an orthodox. I said his lack of a right hand will truly show against an offensive powerhouse in kov and i was right.
He barely landed a right hand. It is also why i still favor kov in the rematch.
