Merchnat (ugh) who had not done his reaerch on Ward was calling him a bum all night until he iced Sanchez with one brutal left hok to the body in the 7th...his signature punch. That shut the HBO team up real fast.
Yeah that was an odd Ward fight. Micky was running around and not throwing punches for a while, very out of character for him, then he nailed Sanchez with a perfect body shot and ended the fight. Larry Merchant always puts his foot in his mouth, he's an ass clown, like just lately he about 1 min b4 B-hop dropped Tarver, he goes "Wake me up when something happens...". He's a critical lil bitch, who doesn't realize he has a fukin dream job. Any way Ward was a good contender with great heart, but was never quite up there with the world champions.
