Ward !

[bigstinkybug]

*There were times when the fight got boring..and the holding was alittle too much. A lot was initiated by Rodriquez, but ALOT was Ward. It takes talent to fight like Ward..u never know what he's gunna do. very tuff guy to fight.
Did Rodriquez tactics work?...They did. If u look at when the points were taken away, Rodriquez did nothing sooo bad to where Ward had to flip his lid...to be honest, Ward is the one that should've been deducted..but at the time, it was alittle crazy.
Ward continued to hold Rodriquez head down, he cont to rabbit punch, and cont to lead with his head... and cont to win.

p.s they mentioned GGG... it would get interesting. knowing that GGG has beaten guys like Depaigne, Dirrel, etc in the amatuers...it would be interesting to see what GGG would do to beat Ward.

Size would play a big role in that fight. Ward is a legitimate super middleweight. GGG is a legitimate middleweight. I'd prefer to see Ward in against guys like Hopkins, Pascal, Kovalev and Stevenson, assuming they are victorious in their next fights. In my opinion, Ward should face Hopkins in a torch-passing fight so to speak.

*I agree... it's not a fight i'd like to see,being a fan of GGG...but, I see it heading that way. I have to give it to GGG. in a time where no one really wants Ward... GGG invites a poss matchup in the future. Ward is 168, but easily light heavy... although I see GGG getting hit a lot, I know he'd land a crushing blow to Ward... I just want to see what happens when Ward really gets clipped.

I think Ward gets a bleed over effect from previous fights concerning last night. He looked excellent and was fighting a combination of John Ruiz + Ricardo Mayorga + Carlos Maussa. Rodriquez was warned SIX times in the first 2 rounds and at the deduction literally had Ward in a head lock and laced the ref. I'm surprised Ward didn't take a ring stool to him frankly. Ward did very well to keep his composure and pull away to put on a schooling. Not sure who is next but I can't see a Froch fight going any different from first. Badou Jack at random? Slim picking now.

There's no denying Ward is a dirty fighter. He punched and held quite a lot. Jab hold. Jab hold. He also used his head. No one can beat it though. That's the bottom line. Top boxers can't even take multiple rounds off him. He should face Hopkins in a passing of the torch fight.

That would be ideal, literal passing of the torch. Though honestly not sure most fans could imagine more than a pose & poke fiesta. I'd watch. Ward has done some dirt, but last night he was upstaged with it and he beat the kid up legit. Ward will have some time until Lt heavy settles..Kovalev-Stevenson-Hopkins so be very interesting to see what Ward does.

If the ref doesn't call it....it's legal

My word the World through rose tinted glasses, Ward wins but is just a young version of
that other dirty git Hopkins, I would watch Froch all day even if I think he's a cock, you
Chaps must send me some, of them glasses, they make a turd look like a lump of gold,
