Let me preface this by saying that I haven't watched the fight yet. . . doesn't really sound like I want to either. . . while I agree that Ward isn't the most exciting fighter and I'd love to see how he does when he has to really step up - I can't ignore the fact that the guy hasn't lost a single boxing match since 1998, which includes an Olympic run. He just keeps winning. Some argue that you have to entertain in boxing in order to make $$ and I definitely agree, but looking at Ward purely in terms of boxing effectiveness (read: winning) - it's hard to really knock him.
