Ward versus Rodriguez card HBO/Box Nation

[Gandalf]

Pavlik would knock Ward out, it's a shame it didn't happen. Rogriguez actually threw a few in the 11th and Ward was looking anxious and went back into huggy bear mode. Lame.

You should try your hand at comedy.

So should you. Using the word incredible to describe any aspect of that fight is utterly hilarious.

Nice. I like those "I know you are but what am I" responses. The guy has incredible feet, incredible defense, uses his eyes like Floyd does and rarely if ever gets hit cleanly. He has incredible punch selection, a mule kick for a jab and rarely misses a punch. Other then that he's pretty regular.

He has skills and a sharp boxers brain, but he uses it very negatively. James Toney is an example of someone with all the skills, but you don't see him holding and constantly trying to cheat. Even at 45 James Toney just fights, that is what I enjoy. None of my favourite fighters employ the tactics that Ward employs.

I cannot stand people like Ward, Wlad or sometimes Hopkins. They are negative to the extreme. They use their brains, but they are not styles that I can enjoy.
