Wards a smart fighter.... boring but smart. He uses a jab then fights inside and softens guys up... hits on the break, uses his head, tries to spin people and used his distance to take leverage off his opponents punches. Hes making a career off those those tactics. Many of those things are the secrets to Hopkins logenvity, as someone else has said. Andre ward 2.0 is more a lean towards hopkins. Version 1 was his an impersonation of roy jones. He got clipped a few times doing that decided to tone it down. I'm not much of a fan ...as i would guess many people aren't outside of Oakland.
