    Default Just watched Andre Ward's fight

    He seems really skilled, amazing speed on the cross, and a very solid jab. It seems like he hits hard, but his record would indicate otherwise... even Mayweather had a far superior knockout rate when he started fighting. Andre seems too fast for himself sometimes, and he fell over a few times as result which I've never really seen from RJJ or PBF who both have something that he seems to lack and thats unhuman balance which helps with lead left hooks, and being able to throw combinations, and or punch and get out quickly. His opponent(Kolle) had good speed, and seems like he could have a solid career unfortunately for him Andre was just that much faster than him, but most guys at middleweight and SMW won't be faster than Kolle, and once he learns how to box he could also be champion some day.

    Ward could be a champ, he's quick with a good jab. His defense can be a bit lacking, he's not an iron chinned guy and he doesn't seem that powerful but he's got offensive skills and a good attitude.

    Gotta disagree with you about Kolle, I've seen him fight before and saw him against Ward and he's slow and limited, a journeyman. But that's the type of guy Ward should be fighting now, he's just a young prospect, gold medal or not.

    Maybe it how he was throwing his punches, but he didn't seem super slow against Ward, and considering Ward's speed his handspeed didn't seem all that far behind... he does have slower reflexes and footspeed than his handspeed.
