some of you people are so ridiculous. for one, it was a great fight. what more did you want from ward? he threw a lot of punches and landed a lot. does he need to intentionally get hit so that it can be more exciting? also, rodriguez was being very dirty by grabbing ward and pushing him against the ropes. grabbing is one thing but you cant bull rush somebody. one more thing, maybe some of you dont know but hitting during a clinch is 100% legal! thats why refs will say fight out of the clinch. i actually think that ward is very smart for doing it. most fighters dont do that. they clinch and wait for the ref to break them up. so if the ref doesnt break you up, you can keep on swinging.

i feel like the hate for ward has become higher than the hate for mayweather. everybody always talked about how mayweather ducks everybody and has never fought anybody good. and now everybody says that mayweather has fought top quality opponents and has even gone up in weight to do it just to discredit ward. just enjoy a great fighter while he is still here. i dont understand people who like boxing that cant enjoy a master in the ring like ward or mayweather. if that were the case, i wouldnt even watch boxing. yes, i do like the toe to toe fights, but i also love watching great fighters outclass their opponent.
