it is funny dude

abraham was battered by froch, no shame in that

he was beaten by dirrell but he was coming back into it at the end and a lot of people on here said if it had gone another round aa may well have knocked him out

before that fight he was the favourite in a lot of peoples eyes for the tournament

If AA can put the froch and dirrell fight behind him and get some form back he can make a fight of it, i think wards style is almost suited to AA at his best

i just dont see it happening mate, best chance of getting to ward is early on in the fight where he likes to feel his opponent out, sadly for AA that is also his exact same tactic

speed plays a massive part in this fight, even if AA can go against every point of his career to date and try and get a fight going he will soon realise that andres handspeed and footwork is just too much

I reckon ward has him out of there within 9/10
i aint saying AA will win, hes being written off a bit easy tho

and wards power isnt that amazing and AA can take some punishment

best bet is ward on points, and i reckon it will be closer than a lot of people are saying
