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.
The Sanchez fight was ridiculous, its amazing to see Ward fight as negatively as he did in that fight. Merchant was obviously annoyed but considering the way Micky was fighting its almost understandable, Ward just ran around the ring and threw maybe 10 punches a round, he made Cory Spinks look like a combination of Rocky and Terry Norris. Its really bizarre to watch the fight, cause its so out of the ordinary of what you expect to see from Ward, how he fought the first seven rounds was really no different than how Derrick Gainer fought JMM. Just looked like he flat out didn't even want to be in the same arena as Sanchez, but then one left hook to the body and the fight was over. Bizarre fight.
